        The picture on the left is from October of last year, the picture on the right was from last night. So almost 1 year. My egg broke 4 months ago and i’m exactly 3 months on HRT!

            Thank you! I’m a completely different and much happier person now. That pic on the left was a good one for the time and I was doing better than usual.

          That’s incredible, all that from just 3 months of HRT. It’s really impressive. I wish I were that lucky, it took me more than 3 years to get much progress on HRT myself.

    Wow, I saw this on my all/Top/6hours feed and thought, “I don’t get it, why did the lady steal his hat?” until I realized what instance it was from.

    (Editing to add, as a cis woman myself I have to shave my chin daily, good thing it’s all gray now and less noticeable. Epilators and laser didn’t work for me, so I just shave. There’s more of us than you would ever know, so don’t let unreasonable female beauty standards give you gender dysphoria,[further edithonGIRL!])

      seeing this 7d later the “hon” at the end just killed me (hon is actually a term used to describe unpassing transwomen who are percieved as ugly, mostly used on 4chans /lgbt board)

        lol 4chan can eat shit. Hon, short for honey, is a widely used term of endearment and I don’t think anyone should stop using it because of some 4chan weirdos. Don’t spread their culture.

    If it’s not indiscrete to ask. Did the beard go with the hormones or is there still the need for you to shave? (If it indeed is to indiscrete to be answered, then please just ignore the question. 🙂)

      i think that’s what this comm is all about!

      My beard continues to grow although the rate of growth slowed a bit. It is the only thing that really gives me dysphoria.

      On the daily i shave it, on the weekly i zap it with IPL to make it grow even slower/thinner.

      In the near term i’m looking into epilating the parts that are safe to.

      In the long term i intend to get electrolysis which is how you permanently (i think) stop the facial hair growth!

        It might be the communities main purpose, but even then different people might experience the same thing with different levels of (dis-)comfort. Therefore my careful question. 🙂 Thank you very much for the copious response!

      Not the OP, but I am transfem myself. No unfortunately beard doesn’t go away with hormones. It grows slightly more slowly and the hairs are finer, but it’s still there. I haven’t had laser or electrolysis to remove the hairs permanently so I still have to shave. I hate it so much, I wish my beard would just go away 😭
