How I learned to love my "lady-beard"

Harnaam Kaur was driven to self-harm after being bullied over her facial hair. She said she tried to tackle the beard, but it grew back every single day. She was tormented about her appearance, and considered ending her life.

But she said that one day she decided that if the hair "wanted to be on her face" she would turn "all the negative energy into positive energy"

She said she now "loved being a bearded woman" and had "found herself".
