    I get wrapped up in things and fixate quite easily. Beards and stubble are my thing at the moment and I can't stop thinking about how mine will come in. I'm fairly dark haired and have thick hair, so I think I'll be lucky in my facial hair being dark too. I'm worried it may come in patchy and wirey.

    Does anyone else google celebrities with perfect stubble / beards? Or search for people on IG? It feels a bit compulsive at times. I search and search and go through a mix of admiration and depression. It's going to be ages before I can even start to look like that. I mean, by the time I actually get in to the GIC, I won't be far off 29 and then it will take time for changes to happen...so 30. That freaks me out.

    Beards take time, and they all start off patchy. My partner is a 31yo cis male and his beard is still filling in, but his younger brother has an insane duck dynasty beard. When I went through male puberty, mine came in thick in the mustache and chin strap and the rest took another 12 years to fill in. My brother started shaving at 15 and still has thin areas at 24. Keep these things in mind as your face warmer fills in, you handsome devil.

    I couldn't grow a beard until about my mid 20's. It was too patchy, and to be honest I never wanted one anyway. Then I gave into pressure to grow one like everyone else. I finally just shaved it off.

    It will probably be patchy at first, and it may never actually come in fully. I know guys who can't grow beards.

    We just need to find a way to switch bodies with other people. Then every trans girl can just find a trans guy and switch bodies. Everyone's happy, no more messy medical procedures.

    Awh thanks all for your responses. I guess my head space makes me impatient, being HOW down I am on hearing my voice and seeing my smooth skin. It drives me crazy knowing how far away all this is and how long a journey I have to travel.

    But yeah, body switching would be ideal wouldn't it!

    I know how you feel. It's the exact same as I feel when I see/touch my body hair. And oh god my voice....I always hated it. We'll get there both of us. I'll trade you my hairy pecs for your boobs. :lol:

    And seriously, why are we not funding that!?

    Of course! What kind of a girl do you think I am?!:icon_wink

    There's only ONE area I'm jealous of Cis men. I want to eventually play hockey(girls can play too, even ones who were born boys!) in a rec league. I'm jealous of the guys being able to grow playoff beards.(That is the only context in which I'd like to have facial hair, after that I wish it would NEVER grow in ever again...)

    We each have those things that we admire and like don't we? I love seeing muscular women, but I don't want to be seen as one. I do have some facial hair coming in, I noticed last night. The amount I work out, my hormone levels are spiking. And for another reason, but I've already got told off once for mentioning it so I won't again. However, it is not steroids and it is entirely legal. Anyway, all this fixating and such has started me thinking that I may go privately to transition. I can't wait for the fucking NHS to pull their finger out.

    See, I'm the opposite, I don't like muscular women. Lean, yes. Muscular no. To me a woman just has to have some fat to look feminine. But that's just me.
