A Little About Harnaam

Harnaam Kaur [pronounced, Her-nom Core] is a cisgender woman from Slough, England, who works as a teaching assistant in a primary school. Because of a condition called polycystic ovary syndrome, she has a larger than average amount of hair growth for her gender. Being bearded as adolescent girl caused her a lot of problems, and at first, she tried everything she could to remove the hair. But at age sixteen, she made the decision to keep her hair, and focus on loving herself instead of appeasing society. Now, she proudly lives her life as a woman with a beard. She says, “It's hard being different, but it's well worth it."
