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.
For me, if my beard just grew alright I’d keep it but it grows so uneven that its basically just impossible ;-;
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!

It certainly works but it suuuucks. I wish my hair/skin contrast was such that laser would work.

You need light skin (optional but helpful) and dark hair (necessary) for laser to work properly since the laser heats up the pigment

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

I’m not trans but I can relate with this. I would live very happy without facial hair.
Are you sure? I mean typically dysphoria caused by facial hair is a sign. It absolutely was for me.
I just hate shaving.
I hate shaving too, as well as having a scratchy face with beard shadow 😔
I can relate with that.
In my country, there’s a good humoured way to describe the “beard” I have: half a dozen hairs, playing cards, and they still haven’t found the table. Spotty, thin, uneven, that just passes a sense of being unclean when it starts to grow. And the itching sensation… At least I don’t get that greenish tint on my skin when the hairs are close shaven. Those guys are really unlucky.
Same. Seems some people work jobs that allow for beards, but if you don’t, shaving is a pain in the ass.
Believe them.
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.
i made up my mind as a teen that if i started going bald im rocking the costanza look like my grandpa did
Ah, a classic!
How do you wear your 80s style moustache without facial hair?
I don’t. That simple.
What do you mean, I don’t really understand???
If one does not have facial hair, they do not use the 80’s mustache. So, since my facial hair is, to say the least, lacking, I don’t use th 80’s mustache.
Where did I failed to follow your reasoning? I got that feeling.
But you don’t have facial hair because you don’t use the 80s moustache?
I don’t have enough hair on my face to qualify for a moustache. Even if I let it grow for a month, I look like a balding rat.
Well did you ask yourself once what you can do for moustaches?
And why does scalp hair not? 😭

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
Would you mind sharing the name of the product you’re using? Thanks!!
Edited my initial comment to include a picture.
Thank you! That happens to be what I decided on trying! (I’m impatient so had already started researching :P)
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.
ngl, it feels like a potion I’ve obtained from a witch or something. It’s so weird to just kinda…rub the hair off your face. I’m certainly under their spell, idk what could make me go back to razors for my face ever again.
Hilariously ineffective for my very coarse hair. 🤣 Don’t get me wrong, I really do appreciate the tip, and I’m happy it works for you. 💕 I do plan on giving it another go, but there was no noticeable impact on my facial hair after using it the first time.
I tried on about 1mm stubble. It felt like a cooling agent on my skin. I waited near 7 minutes (the max according to instructions), and while I could see bits of hair on the towel after wiping, there was no noticeable result on my face.
Any recommendations for something full-body?
Have not found anything I like yet. I’ve just been sticking with waxing.
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.
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 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.

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?
yes :'(
mine’s going just as strong as before
how long are you on hrt? it only started to grow slower like 3 months in
1 year a few days ago ! the rest of my body hair has been impacted, but not the beard
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.
The meme was only tangentially relevant. I’m one year on HRT as of a couple of weeks ago.
Thanks for the advice <3 I have a safety razor, I use a special oil and cream, and I pull back skin to get a cleaner shave, but unfortunately if I want a clean shave it always results in tons and tons of blood. Some from cuts, some from razor bumps being sliced off. I can get about one good shave without blood and then if I shave within a week of that I’ll be mostly red from blood :(
I have a good cream that’s supposed to help with razor burns and such. Perhaps the products I use aren’t right for me.
Edit: Oh yeah I maybe already mentioned the hrt thing.
Cause you’re a guy. That’s normal dude.
Fuck off transphobic cunt. No one likes you.
