When I shave in the shower before going to bed, the next morning at 6 AM, my face feels super smooth and great! 
And then by 9 AM I have velcro-face and my chin is blue-gray.

Oof, I feel that. I shave in the morning cause of this. I’ve had a lot of laser, but I’m sandy blonde naturally, so I need electrolysis to get the rest. I’ll be so relieved when I no longer need to shave daily.

How annoying 
as a guy i hate shaving so i just stopped sometime in my mid 20s. I used to be clean shaven, these days i just let it go wild but thankfully my facial hair grows pretty slowly. For ladies such as yourselves having to deal with the shaving has to be tough

It really is. Even when I was in the closet, I could never stand having facial hair. No denial beard here! I really look forward to the day I don’t need to do it constantly.

I’m curious what a possible future might look like for upcoming transfolks, like someone identifying as a woman but also purposefully keeping a glorious beard and not thinking of it as a masculine trait. I’m sure this is already happening, but with time it could be more acceptable.

I know a few people like that. I respect it, but it’s not for me… neither on the attracted to nor want to be sides of the coin. I do love that more people feel comfortable expressing themselves though. Diversity is wonderful!

I know a few people that are plural. It’s an interesting concept and I’d love to know more about how it works for different people. I don’t think I am, but I can kind of relate to it just from the way masking feels sometimes. (No, this is not trying to talk you into sharing what you don’t want to share, I’m just thinking through the idea a little.)

I did used to kind-of know a woman who grew a beard.
She identified as nonbinary for a while, and then changed her mind but kept the beard, and wrote about how she thinks of her beard as a feminine trait.
(As an enby, I figured that shaving my face as smooth as possible was one of the easiest and socially safest changes I could make in my presentation. I’m fully on board the “nonbinary people don’t owe anyone androgyny” train… but for myself, if I could look like “no gender, only mystery” that’d be amazing.)

Harnaam Kaur is a cis lady, but she rocks a beard and looks wonderful! It would be really great if beards stopped being associated only with masculine traits.

I can honestly imagine that could be the case. Even superficial things like wearing pants were seen as a masculine thing and now seeing a lady with pants is no cause for concern. The future will certainly be weirder, and that’s rad.

Not to the Romans. It’s all so arbitrary.

Me either. Facial hair triggers my dysphoria. I certainly wish I could tolerate having facial hair; it would make things so much easier. I had a problem of redness for a couple months from shaving so often. Luckily, I saw a post mentioning Azelaic Acid helps with redness, gave it a try and it cleared up within a week.

Same. Except even electrolysis was only mildly effective. I gave up after two years of it. Luckily, I never had a full face of facial hair. I did try to grow a beard once, back in college. It was pretty pathetic. Bare patches in various spots, and it grew slowly. My facial hair still grows slowly, so it’s become a minor annoyance rather than a dysphoria triggering one. And HRT took care of most of my body hair, at least on the left half of my body, weirdly. I haven’t shaved my legs in probably 6 months. My left leg has none. My right leg has a few sparse tufts of very fine hair. If I needed to, I could dry shave that off in 5 minutes. I really am lucky, for the most part, in the hair department.

Neither did I, but what’s there is dark enough and grows back quick enough to give me issues.
Same. I only shave my legs once a month or so and my leg hair has thinned significantly and become much lighter in color… The hair on my arms has also thinned a lot, but some hair, especially around my wrists, is still darker than the rest of my body hair. I’ve been consider getting an epilator or an IPL device for my body hair, but they’re pricey and my remaining body hair doesn’t trigger my dysphoria like facial hair.

I had my first experience of a guy asking me if I wanted to fuck, since I’ve transitioned.
It wasn’t an altogether enjoyable experience yet I can’t help feeling some sense of validation
