Shaverists

These activists are made up mostly of female dwarves who wish to express their gender earlier than the traditional dwarf age of adulthood. Additionally, they also express a desire to cut or groom their hair in styles similar to that of women in other societies. The Shaverists are opposed by more conservative groups, particularly the leadership of the Dwarven Foundation who endeavor to restore the glory of traditional dwarven society.

Some notable Shaverist slogans are:

"Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow"

"We Don't Fear the Beard"

"I Want A Smooth Transition"

Contrary to what their opponents claim, Shaverists do not wish to outlaw the practice of female dwarves growing their face and body hair out, but instead desire greater freedom and autonomy over their own bodies and the way they may style them.

A commonly repeated rebuttal from conservative dwarves is "... next they'll want us to start washing ours!"
