A woman has proudly shown off her moustache online, hitting back at trolls after being compared to Bigfoot.
Faith Iris, a serving military member, isn’t afraid to bare all, displaying her body hair for all to see.
But, much to her dismay, not everyone loves her natural look, with people online up in arms about the way she chooses to display her body hair.

Now, she’s biting back at trolls who believe her moustache is un-ladylike, wanting everyone to be proud of their ‘natural bodies’.
Posting a video on TikTok (@faithiris13), she gained over 12,000 views and 600 likes, showing off her hair despite the trolls, with viewers leaping to her defence.
“I think there’s so much more that goes into shaving or not shaving, almost like a small protest to say ‘here is my natural body’,” the 24-year-old, stationed in New Jersey, told NeedToKnow.co.uk.
“I really want women to choose for themselves what they want to do with their body.
“Not do something just because they’re expected to.
“I have had partners where I would compromise and shave certain areas of my body if they did as well.
“But, when I’m by myself I prefer to leave my body hair alone.”
Faith’s family aren’t fans of her body hair either, with members even comparing her to the fictional character ‘Sasquatch’.
She said: “My family is a little bit more old-school and conservative.
“It did make me feel shameful.
“But honestly it also really inspired me to take a step back and look at why women shave.
“And why we feel uncomfortable with our natural bodies.”
Social media users have jumped to Faith’s defence and showed their solidarity, taking a stand against body hair views and celebrating her self-confidence.
One user commented: “You’re so beautiful. In ways more ways than one.”
Justin said: “I like hair on women. Idl why, but it’s weird to make it such a a big deal.”
Another user said: “Things need to change in this world if grown men don’t even know that women also grow body hair.”
Chrisanna said: “I wish TikTok added a “disable men” feature in settings.”
Aleesa said “Thank you as a Middle Eastern woman who’s insecure of dark hair. This healed me.”
