I'm not trans but I hate this as well 😭 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
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.
I'm not trans but I can relate with this. I would live very happy without facial hair.
Same here. And it's not just for to shaving. Why do I have hair on my shoulders, back, etc. I'd be happy if every single person was bald. Nobody can complain then, no judgement on hair choice, colour, etc. knowing us humans though, we would fine ways to make our skulls look different.
Tattoos or scarification comes to mind. Weird piercings. Or funny hats.
I made up my mind very early that if/when I get bald, I'll just shave my head. Makes no sense to me to hold on to half dozen hairs on my head. But I wouldn't like to see everyone bald. I like seeing how people use their hair to express themselves. When I see someone with their hair dyed a wild color my only concern is how bad it may be for the hair and if I'm crossing that narrow line between looking and staring. But the look? Really not my concern. Makes the world a more interesting place to exist.
Its simple. Have an expert stick a probe into each follicle and zap it painfully with electricity. All it takes is a shit load of money, time, and pain!
I will say if they're skilled you shouldn't feel the insertions, they will tune the settings to your pain threshold, I often doze off while getting mine 😅
The insertions don't hurt, yeah :) I certainly can't doze off, its quite painful even with tattoo numbing cream. It has to be some minimum threshold to actually be effective so I just have to bear it.
I am jealous of your pain tolerance. It is absolute agony on certain parts of my body, but at least just stings for others.
Or you can spend $1200 on a home unit and spend a shit load of time and pain both learning a new skill and destroying your facial hair in the comfort of your own home! You won't get discouraged by the magnitude of the project at all...
Hahahah oh no! :') good luck

And why does scalp hair not? 😭
My older brother told the excited me that was beginning to grow facial hair that it's a curse cause you keep shaving and the next day it's back. I basically agree now.
Some races are really cursed like persians, middleeasterns, indians, and some serbians. It's crazy monkey shit. extensive hair growing in the middle of your neck every fucking day. Your knuckles and arms look like that of a wolf. I swear one day you'd slit your throat with the razor you're shaving with because this shit wont stop. Or how about in the middle of your upper back, physically unreachable area of your body. And wtf is the pointing of that hair while I'm balding I need it on top of my head.
That's a pretty terrible thing to say.
Started using a facial hair removal cream, and holy shit what a difference it has made. My face is so much smoother now, and it stays smoother for way longer! Highly recommend for any femboys or transfems looking for a good facial hair solution.
Edit:
For everyone asking, I use this! Not sponsored, I do not claim this is safe, but it's worked well for me the last few times I've used it and I haven't noticed any longterm issues. I apply it on heavy and let it sit for a little over 4 min, then I can just wipe away all the beard hair.
GIVE RECS PLS I NEED
Edited my initial comment to include a picture
This is awesome, I will try this out. I always hated how shaving made my face scratchy and very close shaves often gave me cuts. This seems almost too good to be true, I guess I'll know if it is or not when I get it.
Any recommendations for something full-body?
Have not found anything I like yet. I've just been sticking with waxing.
Nair works fine but it smells funky af and you definitely don't want it on sensitive areas..

I got a nood flasher laser (light?) hair removal device for my wife a few months ago. It is safe to use on faces, but it does not work for all skin and hair colors.
A few laser sessions seem to have not made a difference to me sadly
Damn I was considering it.
I think it just takes a lot more than a few. I also have light colored hair so it's less effective on me
I'm not sure if you're actually asking, or expressing the emotions involved in meme form, and I don't want to possibly make those emotions worse by bringing up the physiology of it without asking first. But, I do know a little about that specific subject, so I'm willing to type that out, if you're interested.
Not what I'm asking, but share your knowledge friend! perhaps behind a spoiler as another catgirl suggested
Another catgirl did have a great idea :)
I'll add that if someone wants to avoid mentions of the various chemicals of the body, probably best to not uncover the text
so, part of how hair gets turned from the delicate "peach fuzz" called vellus into a beard is testosterone. That's pretty obvious, I guess, but it bears saying.
T, and DHT spike during puberty. This leads to us growing thicker hair across our bodies, even for those folks with ovaries and no testicles. The combination of DHT and T moves into the follicles, into the actual cells involved in growing hair.
Now, I'd have to go back and re-read a bunch of stuff to be accurate and detailed about the changes inside those cells, and it sound be jargon anyway. But the gist is that the way the keratin is produced, and the cells layer is increased, leading to a thicker and tougher hair. This change is to the cells themselves, the cells of the follicle that produce hair. This means that once those follicles are exposed to androgens, it becomes permanent, within a given range of permanence.
Even when you take anti-androgens, they can't undo the changes already made. And, unfortunately, estrogen and other feminizing hormones don't cause the kind of changes that could completely undo the effects of testosterone.
What the feminizing hormones can do is decrease the effects of those changes. The good thing is that those changes tend to be equally permanent, within a given range of permanence. The hair will be thinner, softer (as in less coarse) and may be able to get longer (largely genetics). Until and unless testosterone is returned to the system whatever changes do occur from HRT will remain, even if the HRT is discontinued.
Which means that it takes a combination of efforts to eliminate the thicker, coarser hairs produced under testosterone. You have to eliminate or suppress the T itself, while applying a feminizing agent, then use methodology to either further reduce the thickness from there (like repeated plucking/waxing as one example), or use a mostly permanent removal method line electrolysis.
!There's always edge cases, though. Not everyone that goes through male puberty ends up with the same degree of hair changes. So there's people that just anti-androgens will cause enough reduction in the effects that it would be comparable to someone that went through female puberty. For some people, they can have massive testosterone doses and never grow a beard at all, they get a slightly thicker version of the vellus hairs; genetics can be weird like that.!<
I think spoilertext could also be appropriate.
Now my beard is going bald too, and I'm like "finally, useful baldness". Good riddance.
That's about the time when the ear and nose hair suddely start to grow like crazy.
Perhaps some people never actually lose their hair - rather, their hair just keeps migrating across their bodies. Roaming from land to foreign land, traveling into new territory with every season of life.
Rip and tear. Rip and tear until it is done.
(I wouldn't recommend this but I can't stop doing it)
Actually you can! Gently with tweezers or if you like to feel like a thousend bees sting you at once, you can use an epilator.
Ouch
I hate it too, facial hair sucks. I wish I could just get rid of it. Sadly it might be a while before I can get electrolysis.
am I the only one whos facial hair started growing extremely slow after starting hrt?
Laser hair removal
That's both expensive and not available where I live :P It is the long term goal however.
There's also creams that remove hair, but it isn't available here so I cannot attest to efficacy.
Sorry, didn't know considering there was no context whatsoever.
For a good shave I recommend baby oil, shaving cream and a good deodorant which you can use to both smell nice and kill bacteria after a shave. Be sure to pull skill back to expose further the hairs for a cleaner shave (It can easily cause a cut however, so be extremely careful).
I'm not pre-everything, but I'm not exactly rich either, but my long term goal is the same as yours, and unfortunately Laser Hair Removal is the only way for it to not grow back.
