If you aren't comfortable doing so, just say no. Your body your rules.

I agree my body, my rules.

I just hate when family says things and sometimes they are hurtful.

Remind them you are the boss of your life, not them. They can come along for the ride or hit the curb as they wish. They don't get to be master of your life. Now you may think that harsh, but for me I'd rather not have family around me who don't respect me and my life. Your mileage may vary.

I don't see it as harsh, I appreciate all feed back!

Tell them it's your winter pelt and to back off or you'll shave them.

Or do what Corkey said.

Have you taken any steps to get on testosterone? I know you were looking for information on it. Reality is that if you go on T, they will for sure have to get used to body hair!

Working with a therapist here right now. I have seen how hairy some guys gets lol, look like Grizzlies! I am used to it but they aren't and I think they are in denial about me being trans.

Yes, it's hard. Good luck to you.

For me it took about 3 years before I could even grow facial hair and leg hair....I wish I was born with thicker hair on my head but I had thin hair....
Now I'm bald but I don't care.....I'm a man and I embrace that with all that I
am.....

I know I was born the wrong sex so shaving now and getting to choose if I want a mustache, beard or be clean shaven, makes me feel great..

I don't mind at all shaving, that's what men do...

JeanPaul · 09-20-2017, 10:54 AM

so envious of all who can grow facial hair...i am nearly 5 months on T and painting my face 2x day with extra strength Minoxidal, all I have to show are 6 black moustache hairs...I have a crapload of vellum-hairs all over my face. Hopefully 1/2 of the vellum will turn coarse and black and I will have the facial hair I desire. Is so important to me to help to pass as a man....getting mis gendered is very exacerbating, hoping mounds of facial hair will help folks to see me for the real me.

So it's been a long time now that I have been on hormones and I am still growing a patchy beard and light mustache. I have started using Rogaine basically on my face and have noticed a difference in doing so, especially on my sideburns starting to finally grow more.

I could grow a full mustache and a heavy beard on the bottom of my chin and under it. The sideburns are coming in and the other areas are patchy.

I shave the fuck out of it. I find myself obsessed with a soft face. I am the only trans guy I know who wants to be clean shaven. Don't misunderstand, I am looking forward to the ability to have a full beard, but until that can happen (a year or so), I want every inch perfectly cleared and smooth. I can't stand the feeling of stubble. I am a member of the Dollar Shave Club. $6 a month and I get 4 cartridges a month. That means a fresh razor every week.

It has become an obsession. Super lighting, magnifying mirrors...lol.

In terms of Rogaine, I heard it works, but only if you keep using it. I guess in the same way that it works on one's head... you have to keep using it.
