Any general advice? Don’t try x, or definitely look into y? Be aware of Z?

    In time it thins; but never stops. Body hair is a burden among transfems, but don’t let that be what stops you. Honestly, if you’re considering HRT to such a degree, it’s well worth trying. I can’t describe the mental clarity I experienced within the first week.

      Mine stopped. My body hair just went away with HRT.

      It’s a roll of the dice of course. You can’t guarantee that it will go away, but it is possible!

      It’s just so thick and continuous, head to tow 😓 definitely disheartening.

      Almost literally painfully disappointing to hear.

        Body hair can disappear on HRT. You can’t rely on it going away, but it sometimes does

        This was my experience

          That’s good to hear it does happen sometimes, but uh, I am working with a lot more than that unfortunately

            Ultimately, you can’t really know what will happen until it happens. It’s a roll of the dice :)

              Makes sense to half my brain, but the autistic side is like “I need to know what will happen first!”

              Gods,the though of chest hair on breasts… 🤢

              Other than that, landing androgynously nonbinary is an option? I guess?

                Oh, don’t sweat that. There’s a lot of different ways of dealing with it. Waxing, shaving, laser, electrolysis…

                Other than that, landing androgynously nonbinary is an option?

                Only if you’re non binary…

                  🤷‍♀️

                  3 months ago I didn’t give being cis a second thought 😅 who knows really. I do have a book about identity I really need to work through though.

                    Heh, yeah. There is no easy road here when suddenly you’ll have all the answers. But ultimately, the whole point of the journey is to give yourself permission to find who you are, however long that takes :)
