beauty by letting her facial hair grow.Morgan Coleman started to notice hair on her cheeks, chin and neck when she was 11 and spent her childhood and teen years trying to hide the hair.She says she was hounded by cruel people who would call her ugly, a freak, a man, and say she was transgender.READ MORE: Heartbroken mum of dead cop says police officers beat him to death in ‘mob’ trainingThe bullying damaged her self-confidence so much that Morgan tried everything she could to remove the hair including - permanently removal through electrolysis, which all failed.Morgan says that doctors dismissed her concerns until she started to experience menstrual issues and headed to her GP seeking help in 2019.An ultrasound found a cyst on her ovaries.Morgan was finally diagnosed with hirsutism (excessive hair growth) and Polycystic Ovary Syndrome in January 2021.Now, the 26-year-old had decided to embrace her natural self after more than 15 years of hiding.Morgan said: "It's time to embrace my natural face and, surprisingly, people aren’t as judgmental as you’d think!"I do struggle with self-confidence - after many years of bullying, it does have an impact on your self-confidence, but I am definitely feeling much more confident since I’ve decided to embrace my natural face."I am really at peace with it now. It’s difficult to explain, but I feel free - I wake up and that’s now the last thing I think about, it’s wonderful!"It was horrible and isolating.
