Harnaam Kaur of Slough, Berkshire suffers from a condition which causes her to grow excessive hair and she has revealed that her beard makes her feel more feminine.
The woman suffers from polycystic ovary syndrome, and she grew her first beard at age 11. Since then, the hair has spread to her chest and arms, making her an easy target for jeers and bullies. She says she has received several death threats from strangers on the internet.
Miss Kaur has however decided now to stop cutting her hair since she became a Sikh – the Sikh religion doesn’t permit the cutting of body hair.
The bearded woman, who had engaged in self-harming acts and considered suicide when she was younger, says “I would never ever go back now and remove my facial hair because it's the way God made me and I'm happy with the way I am.I feel more feminine, more sexy (sic) and I think I look it too. I've learned to love myself for who I am nothing can shake me now.’
