I'm not trans but I hate this as well đ my beard grows uneven so I can't even leave it on if I wanted to
Meanwhile my hairline loses land faster than the netherlands would if they didn't build dams
Oh damn hitting close to home today
Dikes, not dams :) Though I guess we also have dams?
Anyway, fuck facial hair.
I've only lived here for a few months still learning, thanks for the correction I'm learning!
Oh wow, I didn't know that. Welcome!
How are you finding it so far?
I hope you'll have a good time living here :)Moved from just over the border (Belgium) so not a huuuuge change in life but liking it here! Actually signing tomorrow to buy an appartement so here to stay :p
The only thing I got a heart attack about was my health insurance costs being about 14x higher than Belgium but more net salary made up for it xD
Thatâs not much of a culture shock, thatâs for sure :) Still, I hope youâll enjoy your new home.
And yes, health insurance isnât cheap. I mean it isnât US levels, but I wouldnât mind if it was a bit cheaper :)
Its mostly the little language differences (je/jij instead of ge/gij is my most painful one) but that's minimal haha
Thanks! We'll see how it goes in the long run I guess, no plans on returning anytime soon tho
Yeahh, a high monthly cost + a deductible is quite insane
Now this is relatable
I'm lucky I don't have the hair thinning problem. The beard sucks though, I always hated having a beard. It's one of the first signs looking back that I wasn't anywhere near as cis as I thought I was.
For me, if my beard just grew alright I'd keep it but it grows so uneven that its basically just impossible ;-;
Itâs partially the itchiness, but also allergy season that keeps me from having a beard. Too hard to blow your nose with one unless you want to look like Abe Lincoln.
Edit: trout? Wtf autocorrect
Totally understandable! The faster growing / thicker part of my beard also tends to be a bit itchy if I let it grow for too long (sometimes I have hope it'll finally look good ok) but not that bad that I would shave it because of that so for me its luckily not that huge of an issue.
