haven't really tried shaving lately because the last time I did I uh, really didn't like what I saw (year or two pre HRT), and its just not something I can imagine forcing myself to do every day just to see that. I'm hoping I feel better about it the next time I shave.
.
I only started like a month ago, and I'm not out to a lot of people, nor am I really sure what my (realistic) goals are, so I may stop when I feel good about the changes, or I might continue forever lol.
It'd be nice to be androgynous enough to confuse people a little, yknow?
Very relatable. Looking at face in the mirror to shave is annoying. Started almost 2.5 months ago, only out to like 2.5/6 people who I consider it important to come out to, no goals. Confusing people would be cool.
Understandable. Idk since I just avoid mirror either way. :P Dysphoria beards are a thing though.
Its like wearing a covid mask, but without having people ask why you are still wearing one (which I did until April last year, when putting on a mask became a challenge due to an injury)
Yeah I'm basically in the same boat actually,
slightly dysphoric explanation

honestly staring at my bearded face is fine somehow in a way that shaved wasnt. I treat my facial hair like a dysphoria hoodie I think lmao

No mirror needed
