    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 ;-;

          It’s 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.

            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.

            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
