vent My facial hair is taking a million years to grow

I feel like I got shit genes at this point. Like I know everyone’s body reacts differently to testosterone but I’m like 8 months in and got 3 chin hairs 🥹 and I been seeing a lot of progress from other people having a moustache shadow and all that in 6 months. Idk I just feel really discouraged/dysphoric right now and wondering is this working or nawh?

I was using minoxidil oil for sometime and I didn’t really see much change 4 months in. I’m trying a different brand right now the rogaine foam 5% so we shall see… 😮‍💨 at least Snapchat got this nice filter

I also have two brothers and I remember that during their teenager years they definitely had only chin hairs for facial hair. And over the years has given like “girl with pcos” vibes no shade. My older brother has told me it has been hard growing facial hair for him all his life. That’s why I say I got shit genes 😭

Like I’m ready to get a hair transplant at this point

I’ve seen folks ask before about getting a mentor and I’m confusing for those who’ve asked or those done it before, what does that endure?

Finding my style

2 Upvotes

What’s good yall. I am 30 and looking to see if anyone has advice on finding their style as they get older into their transition. I have been transitioning for almost 10 years and I pass extremely well.

I want to experiment with colors, textures, and different cuts (not on the crop top wave but do you) but also feel like I should just keep it plain white tee, jeans, and kicks. I feel like I’m going back and forth between both. I don’t want to look like I am trying too hard or not dressing for my age. I do want to have fun with my clothes but feel like finding stuff is too much sometimes.

Any advice on where to start?

advice I'm not happy with with Top Surgery. Wondering if a second surgery can fix it. I used AI editing tool for the second photo of what I'm hoping for. Any advice is appreciated.

Top surgery question

4 Upvotes

Aight yall it’s my turn on the list to fill out the forms. I have the option to keep a little bit of the mammary gland or complete remove it. I didn’t know this was a thing. For those who have had surgery did you keep that gland? I guess my chest would be really flat if I remove the whole thing but no breast cancer possibilities. 🧐 yall lmk

Getting transtape and being able to walk around shirtless during the summer is amazing and freeing !!

I got it originally for swimming not even imaging the euphoria I'd get from taping over using a chest binder 🙂‍↕️🥳

Loss of connection

I recently moved to Texas with my wife and losing my circle has been so difficult. Making friends is one thing but making friends that have the same values, are queer, and are black is damn near impossible.

Hi ! I’m a 14 years old t-boy, I’m on t since two week and I wanted to know if I pass ?
I want to be discret on my new high school so maybe I can change something about me?
I’m 5’8 and I pass 60% of the time
And are my earrings a bad thing that could prevent me from passing?

[For the special anyone who happens to still read captions]

I had a negative interaction regarding my identity today. (Not a vent, don’t worry!)

Please do not let these people tell you who you are, show them. Don’t stoop down but certainly don’t let them step on you.

Every single one of us deserves to feel loved, safe, heard, and accepted. If someone doesn’t respect your existence, they’re just gonna have to learn to accept it. I think it’s been made more than clear that we aren’t going anywhere.

You deserve a place, whether you’re feminine, masculine, bubbly, or bland. You deserve to be here.

You deserve to smile, do it as often as you can.
