yes :'(
mine's going just as strong as before
I'm not trans but I can relate with this. I would live very happy without facial hair.
How do you wear your 80s style moustache without facial hair?
I don't. That simple.
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!

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.
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.
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
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 ;-;
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
Oh damn hitting close to home today
Now this is relatable

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!
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
My wife has been having this done and it has been successful so far. About 2 months in. Once a week. Noticeable difference especially with darker hairs around mouth.
It certainly works but it suuuucks. I wish my hair/skin contrast was such that laser would work.
Guessing that laser works better when the contrast is not so different?
You need light skin (optional but helpful) and dark hair (necessary) for laser to work properly since the laser heats up the pigment

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.

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.
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.

And why does scalp hair not? 😭
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.
Check it out, this gal's posting noods!
