A woman has revealed she has been trolled after not shaving her body hair for six months.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Taylor Michelle, 22, said she started questioning why women were encouraged to shave their body hair at a young age.<\/p>\n

The Utah model told the\u00a0Daily Star<\/a><\/em>\u00a0that at the age of 12, she was pulled aside and handed a razor as \u201cgirls aren\u2019t supposed to have underarm hair<\/a>\u201d, she was told.<\/p>

She said women who had body hair were met with negative reactions by those around her.<\/p>

\u201cI shaved for a long time until recently, about six months ago. I grew up very religious and I live in a heavily religious state but as I\u2019m getting older I\u2019m realizing I no longer identify with that group even though I still respect their beliefs,\u201d she told the UK publication.<\/p>\n

She said\u00a0she decided to stop shaving<\/a>\u00a0as it\u2019s a \u201cnatural repellent\u201d for those who believe they have a say over her body.<\/p>
