Something Weird...or Maybe It's Nothing?

So for anyone who doesn't know I'm not taking T. Last night in the mirror I saw two hairs under my chin. I don't know if it means anything or if it's something some biological females have anyway...but then I also started thinking about how where sideburns would be I kinda have "fuzziness." That I've had for awhile; I noticed it maybe a year or two ago, maybe even longer. But the two hairs on my chin I just noticed yesterday. Is this unusual? I know a lot of women get that when they're older but I don't know much about people who are my age. lol

Not knowing your exact age and family history (genetics, ethnic background, etc.) I can't be sure, but only two hairs -probably very coarse and dark - is normal for women. And so are peach fuzz sideburns for some.

Sorry, I know how we all fawned over Evan's chin. :blush:

But you have to get onto your T before you can hope to catch up, besides some of us girls like 'clean shaven' men just as much! :wub:

Give it time - I didn't get facial hair until I was almost 20 (now I wish I never had).

Love ya,

Sally

yep, that's normal. but also your natural T levels may be increasing on their own. I've heard of guys whose bodies become more masculine once they start to live their life.

Definately get your natural T levels checked. I dunno what your age is but if its at least 25 they could fluctuate a bit on their own. I actually suspect I was perimenapausal at 27 judging by the nightsweats. And there have been folks who were at that age even if professionals hate to have to go admit it. I also had those same two hairs for like ....well, till I started T actually.....and even if yours aren't about to become a full beard they may very well indicate that once you do start T you'll have an easier time. Who knows. And, like Ben mentioned, some guys saw an upswing on natural T when they lived male (maybe thats why I had the two hairs and nightsweats?).

I had fuzzy sideburn areas and a couple of hairs on my chin since my late teens and my T-levels were totally normal (like 44 mg/dL) for a female. so maybe it's just genetics... but I don't know if my sisters got any of that. I'll have to ask them when I see them next week.

I'm your age or a year older. Its not always due to Testosterone levels, but rather hair growth pattern levels as well as later teen fluctuations (not just T or E) in the body. However, T levels can also contribute, but they're often not the main reason. Two hairs and some side burn fuzz is pretty normal. My mother's really hirsute (lots of body hair), my father has barely any, I got more of a mix of the two and had two hairs which would routinely grow back longer than the others a few inches below the chin area. The hairs suddenly appeared maybe two years ago. I also had (long before T) some 'almost sideburn' growth while still having a somewhat androgynous/feminine face. Also, because I wore my hair medium length, the side lengths showed (if I lifted them) that I had a slightly more masculine pattern of hair there at the sides of my face which had a little fuzz close to where sideburns would be.

In my case, the hair and the fuzz was pretty much due to a hair growth pattern thing more than anything.

Most biofemaless get at least one or two random hairs in odd places. Most girls....pluck them out!! And most would never admit that they are actually there at all. I remember going into the locker room at school (I went to an art school, so I was in the locker room usually 4-6 times a day) and everyone was in the mirror plucking random eyebrows or chin hairs. One girl had a full belly of hair.

I'd say you're pretty normal! But use that mental power to get a goatee!

      Mae, you are so sweet for making this comment.   Desert Fox, you are so right.  I always knew that even though I was part-time, my motivation was way more complicated than a simple desire to wear women's clothes.   Your question is a timely one because in my next post, I am going to talk about how compartmentalized my life is, and the short answer is yes.  I have friends who only know Sally, friends who only my male persona, and a rare few that know both.

      @EasyE With my background in Behavioral Sciences I do go to actual conferences for the medical and psychological professionals that deal with Trans Youth, and in those conferences, the ethics of "too fast" versus "too slow and restrictive" are a heavy concern.  There is very thoughtful sharing among the participants for making professional judgments that the therapist is comfortable with without being afraid of what is "too soon" or "not soon enough" to advance to medical prescription therapies. The ethics of what constitute reasonable caution or unreasonable delay are deeply at play in those situations, with the idea to prevent harm while alleviating the patient's stress and other issues.  This type of conference fulfills Continuing Education license requirements that most states and other areas have.  From them the therapist may seem to "speed up" their evaluation process, but it is based on the accumulated experience of colleagues, just as is true in other professions and yes, even trades.

      That's wonderful news!! I took our pup in for her Vet check today - perfect. She slept 7 hours last evening and is coming along really well with her house breaking and crate training.   I know you'll have some excitement with a new Boxer!!

      Surgeries are drastic, and indeed should be a last resort for minors.  As indeed they are.  It is very rare for anyone under 18 to get gender-affirming surgery.  It is typically only done if the person would be suicidal without it.   Puberty blockers are a way to avoid the "drastic measure" of forcing the person to undergo the wrong puberty.  They should not be prescribed lightly, and I don't think they are.  They are a way to go slow until the person can truly make an informed decision.

      My Endo keeps track of several trace chemicals in my blood system that can be affected by our slightly different hormone balance, keeping in mind we have had both hormones all our life, just in different balance.  I did have to change one diuretic I was taking that was crashing out one chemical that does affect energy levels, and it turned out that Spiro was the alternative to that one for the way it works there.  I was never on Spiro for the hormone issues per se.  Let your doctor know about the fatigue sometime today or whenever you read this.

      Hmmm .  .  . if I only had a ten-word description that completely described my identity. That would be great, but one doesn't exist. "I'm a girl—and a boy. And neither—and both?" There. Now you know, right? Maybe not. —Davie

      I think you should discuss it with your doctor.  I know you are 'asking around' but experience probably varies.

      This one is behind a pretty heavy pay-wall, for me $50 US/per year.

      I completely relate to this.  My partner of 5 years has made it clear she won't be going with me if I go down this path. I feel like I wasted her time with my own fear and procrastination.  I visit my elderly parents (my mother has dementia) and my first thought is there's no way I can put them through this. I think the same thing when I see my adult daughters.     Nobody is holding us hostage but us.

      I do get this, really.  However this is part of the reasoning behind the blockers.  Without them there will be "irreversible" changes, only not the ones wanted. No, I don't think this should be done lightly, but I have a problem with forbidding it by law in all cases.
