I have hair on my legs, arms, armpits and my head. Tiny hairs on my chest. None that you can see in the nose or on my face yet!

The only problem is their either too small or light for people to see. When the sunlight shines on them you cant see them(they just look white and blend into my skin). I'm hoping T will make them more 'full' and visible.

When I get face hair(when it comes in thick) I want this:

fffffffffff.jpg

I always groom myself so I'll keep my face pretty clean.

My hair(head hair) and I went through alot of stanges but I like the 'full head of hair, long bangs and short back' look. I think I can pull it off until I become a old grey man when I'm 40+. Then I'll start shaving or something if I don't go bald. :lol: Or just get a really short haircut - I think they look good on older men.

Oh god, I'm so worried about going bald. My grandfather had male pattern baldness and so did my father, so hopefully I can dodge that bullet.

My hair I prefer to keep long, but I'm currently sporting a short cut. Hair all over my body (Eastern European :P). I prefer to be shaved though so should I grow more chest hair than a happy trail I'll be waxing.

Actually, that's true for all men. Baldness is carried on the X chromosome, and since the father contributes the Y chromosome to a boy the mother is responsible. I know something else must be involved though, since we have two X chromosomes and women with baldness on one chromosome don't show signs of balding. Otherwise we'd bald regardless of transition.

All the same, I know I'm at high risk on both sides of my family, and I don't want it. XP

My main fear was going bald so I slowly trimmed my head hair short.. just incase that happened so that no one would notice as much. I mostly wear hats so having it short on the sides and bald on top wouldn't have been a problem. But instead of seeing any sort of hair lose <_< I see gray I mean come on! I haven't hit thirty yet but I've the shade of gray on the side. Not even the few pieces here and there but patches. I'm extremely vain about this so most likely I'll be dyeing soon. Truthfully I would like to have the patience to grow my hair long enough to wear in a tail... which I never have had the patience to do. Having long hair is a pain and way too much work.

I'm pretty much with Zabrak on this one. I have hair on my head, arms, legs, stomach, armpits and downstairs. My arm hairs are very light and not visible usually. My leg hair is getting there, but I can't seem to grow much above my knees. Weird? My armpits actually look really good, my bio male boyfriend is quite jealous. :D I have a happy trail, and it's dark but thin. I prefer to groom downstairs. The thing I'm the most excited about once I start taking T is chest hair!! I can't wait for that!! :lol: The hair on my head...I've pretty much had the same haircut my entire life. I get it cut about once every 2 months and then just let it get shaggy in between cuts. You can see my hair in my picture thing over there.

Do you think Michael Jordan looks weird with no hair or Bruce Willis. Come on not every one is going to have Brad Pitt Locks. You will be perfectly masculine and perfectly handsome with or without hair,even when you are old and "forty".....

You guys sound like Wally and Beaver Cleaver..You make me feel good and light hearted,,,,,,Old people squeeze to you all....Mia B)

I didn't mention other hair my pits are the same sparse except for the line... I never grow hair anywhere normally. Before T I only had hair on the front of my legs nothing on my tighs or calfs. Now after T it looks like I have been playing with a razor and have bald patches still behind my legs. Finally fuzz is showing on my tighs and you can actually see hair on my arms without me pointing out that I am not naked! Lip hair is growing in nicely I'm actually proud of that the men on my fathers side just don't grow much hair anywhere. And a happy trail has formed though I like to think of most of it as ring around the belly button. No chast hair I do have back fuzz but it won't darken at all. Anway off to bed now.

P.S. I had nice groin hair before my hysto now it looks like I butchered myself and just can't grow the hair even. I really hopes that goes away...

Some men -and- woman(yes some can pull it off) look good with little to no hair. I just don't want to go bald myself. I'm lucky there, though, no bald men I know in my family. They all have thick, full heads of hair. I wont roll out my chances, though.

I'm just hairy, I always have been even b4 T. But wants T came into the picture it won't stop growing. I can grow a beard, my stomach is full of hair, my chest is filling in now but I shave the top of it cause it itches, I have hair all over my legs and arms, thick. I even have hair on my fingers and toes. And I wouldn't change it for the world.

my heads shaved bold, with just some fuzz on the top of my head. I have as long as I can possibly grow it arm pit hair... which is almost as thick as my dads... and pubic hair... which isn't all that thick... I have arm, leg hair, but it don't grow really on the upper parts of my limbs, YET and I have some small hairs on my belly... I want to be as hairy as possibly though when I go on t

I keep my hair clipped short. I occassionally shave my head, but I have such thick hair that I find it really difficult to maintain. I don't like my hairline and was hoping that it would receed a bit when I went on T, but so far no luck. I must be the only man ever that wants his hair to receed! lol I was always extremely hairy before T, even my stomach, so now the hair on my legs, arms, and stomach is emense. I've recently started developing little hairs on my chest as well. I would really like a hairy chest. My facial hair has developed well, and I let it grow out over chrismas into a rather patchy beard (some of you might have seen the pictures on here) but I've started shaving again recently to try and encourage the hairs to grow back thicker. Eventually I'd quite like a moustach but I plan to experiment with different facial hair styles to see what suits me when I can.

Armpit hair is totally independant of T unless you're 100% immune to it, or are amongst the less than 1% of the population who doesn't grow any at all (regardless of testosterone levels). It's androgenic hair, yeah, but both men and women grow it equally.

Same for pubic hair, only the pattern differs. And that's Tanner V (fully mature) where it differs, Tanner IV and under is more or less the same between boys and girls. The "happy trail" is a sign of Tanner V in boys/men.

Tanner stages are a measure of puberty advancement starting at 1 (pre-pubertal) and ending at 5 (adult), it concerns pubic hair, phallic length, testes size and breast growth. Not everyone reaches Tanner V, though most do.

For the record, I have no armpit hair and have never had any, not a single hair. Even though I had average (plain middle range) adult male testosterone levels...at 24. At 26, I still don't have any.

A testosterone increase should affect legs hair, arms hair, grow chest hair, perhaps back hair, the "happy trail", perhaps tummy hair, facial hair and make the skin texture coarser.

      Thanks, Mindy. It has been so far. Tomorrow, work some more on the wife's grand monkey. Got the right side of the hood primed, just need to do a little more work on the left then I can prime it. Then a 600grit wet sand.   I promised the wife we would take out the bike this weekend.   Kymmie

      During my last visit with my psychologist (who has agreed to provide required letters of recommendation along with a colleague to provide the second) we discussed the shift towards my wife's acceptance. It was a long discussion but one point I mentioned was how much the two of us sitting down and watching this documentary helped:  The Kings | A transgender love story (2017)

      Oops, I did not mean to post that comment yet! I was going to also say, having read a mountain of commentary on the Review, I think Julia Serano’s response (linked by Vicky above) is the most accurate and thorough. You can also read a non-paywalled version at Substack: https://juliaserano.substack.com/p/the-cass-review-wpath-files-and-the   To me the three key areas in which the review is deficient are:   1. As has already been said here, its views on social transition;   2. Its attempts to give credence to the “ROGD” theory (without ever actually mentioning ROGD because presumably a canny editor knows that would be too transparently transphobic);   3. To me, most crucially, its claims about trans youth and suicide, which are dealt with summarily in about five pages and do not stand up to any deeper scrutiny.    I will be writing about each of these issues in isolation over the next few weeks and appearing on a radio show and podcast to discuss them late in the month. I will post links to these on TP later if anyone is interested.   All that said, I actually think it’s dangerous for us to respond with outright vitriol and condemnation to the review since, like any effective piece of disinformation, it does actually contain some factually based and even helpful recommendations. The Tavistock Gender Identity Service really was underfunded and understaffed and certain staff were not adequately trained. Trans kids really were funnelled away from mental-health support once they started gender-affirming care too. So yes, more investment in youth psychology services would help, as would a less centralised model of care, more training in treatment of trans kids, and more research.   One last thing for now: beware the claim that Cass ignored 98% of studies. That’s not strictly true. She seems to have taken other studies into account but leaned heavily on the 2% that met her standards. Nor does she ever claim that only randomised controlled trials are good enough evidence to justify the use of blockers for kids; just as with ROGD, she strongly suggests this, but is too canny to say it, because she knows such trials would be impossible. For now, I think the best response to this comes from the Trans Safety Network: “[…] we believe there to be systemic biases in the ways that the review prioritises speculative and hearsay evidence to advance its own recommendations while using highly stringent evidence standards to exclude empirical and observational data on actual patients. “ (https://transsafety.network/posts/tsn-statement-on-cass-final-report/)   To me, the scariest aspect of all this is that, if it follows Cass’s recommendations, the NHS will very likely follow Finland’s recent model of trans care, which seems to amount to a prolonged form of conversion therapy. I can’t find the link right now, which is probably lucky for anyone reading this, but I bawled my guts out reading the testimonies of kids who had been mistreated by that system. Truly horrific. To me, at least from my Australian perspective, the Cass Review is the most frightening development in trans rights in recent years. To me, the safe care of trans kids is THE number one issue in politics atm.   Ruth Pierce has a good summary of responses from trans folk and their allies sk far: https://ruthpearce.net/2024/04/16/whats-wrong-with-the-cass-review-a-round-up-of-commentary-and-evidence/

      Welcome to the wide, wild world of transgender, M.A.  It can definitively be overwhelming, but everyone here is amazing, so no doubt you'll get bunches of wonderful support. I think you'll be happy you found us.   
    • Sally Stone
      @Ladypcnj  This is so true.  I think all of us here have had a post or two that didn't get a response.  Sometimes, it's as simple as adding to your original to post for a clearer explanation, or re-reading what you wrote originally, and rephrasing it.  But don't despair, we aren't ignoring you.   Hugs,   Sally

      What season are you?  If you don't know, look around on the internet. Or ask a girl friend..  Maybe someone here is even a color consultant?   And there are guides on figure-flattering clothes for all shapes that you should look into.    Abby

      Just know that your kids will probably turn out OK, in spite of the chaos.  One of my partners was widowed in her very early 30s, left with 3 kids.  They're teens now, and one graduated a year ago and is working, but still living at home.  A few bumps in the road, but the three are turning into responsible young adults.  It is amazing how resilient kids can be.  They should be able to handle your changes as well.

      I've been transitioning now for eight months but have been wearing women's clothing for 2+ years. I am over weight and approaching my 72nd birthday. I have purchase my solid color clothing online and recently graduated to 'V' neck tops. I have been hesitant to get anything more girly due to family issues, though with my hair style I am able to totally pass when dressed in a skirt and blouse.   About two  months ago I finally went and got my nails done (which I truly which I had done long ago) though not red nor pink (again family issues). To date I don't think I am having problems with being trans unlike others seem to have. The biggest problem I am having is with my clothing. Any suggestions my girl friends might have would be greatly appreciated.   Cindy

      Umm.... if a post is ignored, live with it?   My stuff gets ignored sometimes, and its OK.  My life is different, and may seem kind of wacky to others.  Some folks just can't relate, or if I'm needing advice they just don't have it.  Diversity is like that sometimes.  If your post gets missed, don't take it personally.  Also, stuff that is new on weekends seems to get ignored more, since most folks are busy with family or other stuff during that time.  Overall, I think people here are pretty helpful.

      I'd really love a professional stove.  There's actually one I want at Lowes, but its like $6k.  I've got plenty of money, the issue is that I'm not the queen (king?) of my den.  Or even of the kitchen.  My partner (husband's wife #1) owns that territory, and she's very attached to what she's got.  One of our stoves has 6 burners and a large oven, the other has 4 burners and a regular household sized oven.  And of course, there's always the wood-burning equipment.    Today was interesting.  We had the first campaign fundraiser for our sheriff and my sister.  My sister is running to be constable of our township.  Pretty sure she'll win, as her opponent is an old dude who is mostly running on "Don't elect a woman for a man's job"    What's weird is our sheriff is running as a Democrat, but he's conservative.  And his Republican opponent sounds like a leftist.  Welcome to Upside-down-ville   And of course all the kids got the chance to sit in a sheriff's car, and play with the lights.   We had a barbecue lunch and a dessert auction.  I baked three apple pies for it, and I was shocked that they sold for $20 each, since my cooking isn't that great.  My partner made her famous "Chocotorta."  It's like a chocolate layer cake with cream cheese, sweetened condensed milk, and it tastes amazing.  Usually we have it for Christmas and other really special occasions.  Two guys got into a bid war, and it sold for $175!!!    Yep, this is politics in the South.  Barbecue, pies, and police cars.  A great way to spend a Saturday

      Yes. That report is part of a conspiracy to torture and murder trans people. It is a lie. It is evil.
