Hey guys... I read that to pass better pre-T u can shave your face getting rid of the girly peach fuzz that is all over. I was curious to if any of you do this? Does it really help? And if so, when it grows back, does it come back the same or does it get thicker or darker or anything where you would look weird if you didnt keep shaving it? I don't want to start doing it if it will ruin my face if for some reason I never start T, ya know? Thanks

Without "T" it will not come back coarser. 14 year old natal males shave their "peach fuzz" and it makes them look no more or less masculine (they just look wanabee), but gives them the pleasure of complaining about shaving. :lol:

I heard that if cis guys shave at a young age the hair goes all crazy and it would of been better if they waited to shave. Until they actually had a beard.

Known natal girls who shave to look smoother and better with makeup and they had no negative effects. I never notice peach fuzz on anyones face but if you have a lot and look older then maybe it would be a good strategy -otherwise I'd leave it. Shaving can really irritate your skin and when it is growing back could get itchy as well and I doubt anyone really notices either way. I am a people watcher and as an artist kind of a natural observer and I never have

Shaving doesn't effect hair growth as far as i know. I shaved a bit and then in an attempt to "man up" let my beard grow. When i shaved again years later it was as if i had always shaved. It is just a pain to remember and another chore in a daily routine. Give it a try and see if you like it. I doubt it will cause any change at all.

Hugs,

i shaved my peach fuzz the other day...just to shave my face. to see how it felt. no one noticed besides me. it felt really cool to do it and i felt like my face was smoother. It has not come back thicker...and without T it won't. but i completely understand where you are coming from. If it is as fun for you as it was for me then do it. but if it is a hassle don't worry about it. it doesn't seem to help or hurt with passing

I never shaved my fuzz before I went onto T, didn't seem much point but I think its something most F2M's long to do for real - until the novelty wears off - me, Im lazy, I don't like beards but cant be bothered shaving every day so I keep a short stubble and have one of those stubble trimmers to keep it neat so I only have to do it once a week...............

I started shaving as a novelty and because, like you, I read that it's easier to pass without it. In my case, I know I pass better by shaving but I guess that differs from people to people. As of now (I'm pre-T) I shave because I like the smooth feeling of my face :P

One change I've noticed due to shaving is that my skin is rougher than it used to be, and a few hairs (barely 4-5) are thicken and longer. I shave every 2-3 days so maybe it's because of how often I do it.

I have been shaving above my lip for about 10 years and my face once or twice a week. Above my lip has come in darker for about the last 2 years, dark enough that I have a five o'clock shadow going on and other people do notice it. with my face I am starting to find some darker and coarser stray hairs coming in on my chin and side of my face but nothing noticeable except to me and my girlfriend. For some reason my body hair in places is thicker than my dad and brother. My legs have more hair on them than most cismen. My cismale friends have always been jealous of my leg hair ever since I got up the courage to start wearing shorts out in public without shaving my legs.

It really does not make any difference. If you pass, you pass for a prepubescent boy. This is generally going to be the case for anyone who's no/pre/early T.

Again...YMMV buuut.

I'm very hairy (pre-T) and I have found that, yeah, shaving at least will make the hairs come back in bigger numbers and more noticeable. Coarser? Enh. For me at least that seems to be the case. In no way, shape or form is shaving your peach fuzz (or any body hair) going to make it come in like you were on T...so you can't shave your way to a beard.

It also depends on your body chemistry and hair tendencies.

I'm fuzzy and got dumped in prenatal T as a fetus, I'm also pretty pale with black body hair.

I also come from a hairy as heck family bloodline (both sides and both sexes).

So it's status quo for me already to have treasure trails, thigh hair, lower back hair, shoulder fuzz, and some pretty impressive upper lip and jaw hair. Not to mention everywhere south of the belt and even my knuckles and toes. Not as bad as my brothers...but certainly enough to beat the 'status quo' and then some.

Shaving for me made it more noticeable, longer and more 'concentrated'...but mine's a little more potent than peach fuzz.

99% of the time no amount of shaving is going to help you pass prior to T. If it makes you feel psychologically better to shave, do so. I personally don't bother and I feel better *with* my werewolf fuzz than without.

      Greeting & welcome to you, Bobbi! What's your latest good recipe find?

      P.S. Also noting that the synopsis given for the Saslow book was before Black came out and began using they/them pronouns. No disrespect meant.

      Also, before posting any comments here please remember this is the news forum, not the politics forum.

      https://www.them.us/story/former-white-nationalist-kkk-r-derek-black-memoir-trans   According to the article, Derek uses they/them pronouns.   I read the book about Derek Back called "Rising Out of Hatred: The Awakening of a Former White Nationalist" by Eli Saslow when it came out a few years ago. Absolutely remarkable and inspiring story. Now Black has a new book coming out, "The Klansman's Son, My Journey from White Nationalism to Antiracism".    This is the synopsis of the Saslow book which gives you a snapshot of Black's journey.    "Derek Black grew up at the epicenter of white nationalism. His father founded Stormfront, the largest racist community on the Internet. His godfather, David Duke, was a KKK Grand Wizard. By the time Derek turned nineteen, he had become an elected politician with his own daily radio show—already regarded as the "the leading light" of the burgeoning white nationalist movement. "We can infiltrate," Derek once told a crowd of white nationalists. "We can take the country back."   Then he went to college. At New College of Florida, he continued to broadcast his radio show in secret each morning, living a double life until a classmate uncovered his identity and sent an email to the entire school. "Derek Black ... white supremacist, radio host ... New College student???" The ensuing uproar overtook one of the most liberal colleges in the country. Some students protested Derek's presence on campus, forcing him to reconcile for the first time with the ugliness of his beliefs. Other students found the courage to reach out to him, including an Orthodox Jew who invited Derek to attend weekly Shabbat dinners. It was because of those dinners—and the wide-ranging relationships formed at that table—that Derek started to question the science, history, and prejudices behind his worldview. As white nationalism infiltrated the political mainstream, Derek decided to confront the damage he had done.   Rising Out of Hatred tells the story of how white-supremacist ideas migrated from the far-right fringe to the White House through the intensely personal saga of one man who eventually disavowed everything he was taught to believe, at tremendous personal cost. With great empathy and narrative verve, Eli Saslow asks what Derek Black's story can tell us about America's increasingly divided nature."

      The sports thing is problematic.  Whenever a trans girl does well it just hits the fan.  Just this morning I saw something about it again.   I live maybe 10 miles from the SC border.  I suspect the people here are similar.  When I'm out and about most people are polite, and don't seem offended by me - and I don't pass well.  I believe if it wasn't for the GOP fanning the flames this wouldn't be half as big an issue.

      My applause and congratulations to them from a member of the Episcopal Church of the U.S. who's beliefs for full Trans inclusion at all levels of the church  were established by our General Convention of laity and clergy in 2015 are in full harmony and congruence with those resolutions you have reported.

      I am very familiar with this event. Last year there was a fairly disjointed effort by the ACLU in SC to derail the legislation. There was so little notice about the hearing. I have predicted they would do this. The R super-majority is prototypical of other states. The Governor of SC is a piece of work. I warned of this potential last year. The chair of the state senate medical affairs committee runs a lawn and garden center. He has no medical background. There was no chance they were going to listen to any LGBTQ group, and in particular, anybody transgender. Nobody listened to medical experts about this matter, and many other transgender health issues.    It is crazy because the everyday population, really does not seem to take any hard stance. I have friends who are just as conservative, but have been very supportive when I announced I was transitioning 2 1/2 years ago. I took a very different route than some in that I was stealth until I could blend in with other women. I think that helped tremendously. I have to wonder what the crux of the issue with transition is beyond all the rhetoric pulled from the Bible. Clearly, the issue of transitioning children playing sports has become a horrendous pain point. In speaking with some folks, the feedback I get is that they feel as though acceptance is forced down their throat.    One thing is clear, the pendulum for acceptance has swung hard I the opposite direction, and could take the rest of our lifetime to correct. We are on a ledge and being pushed close to the precipice.

      Good morning    @Ivy I hope you have a wonderful time with your meeting and after dinner.    My morning started early letting the puppy out to take care of business. While he was doing that I brewed my coffee.    Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      I'll be going up the mountain for my VA support group today.  It's a bit of a drive, but worth it for me.  Some of the people up there have been eating together with me after the meetings, and it's been really nice to be around other trans folks of both genders.  I don't have that around here.

      The full report and debate is available to watch on the Church of Scotland YouTube channel, but it is 50 minutes long, and other than a few uneducated comments from folks with obvious agendas it was overwhelmingly positive. The forum committee is made up of ministers with deliberately wide/opposing doctrinal beliefs so a unanimous statement is rare, as part of the consultation process it gives me hope that there will be a place for me and my voice.   "First, building on the Church's existing statements on transgender people, we believe that transgender people should be loved, and respected, and welcomed in our congregations. "It is the foundation of Christian ethics that all people are made in the image of God, and are worthy of our respect and love, and this is true of transgender people also. "Yet second, and based on our exploration of gender in the Bible, the Forum is also unanimous in believing that transgender people should not only be welcomed in our church, but allowed to serve in our Church. "That the Church should not treat transgender people differently from others, but after considering their giftings and callings, should admit them to office if we believe God wills it. "By focussing on the importance of welcome, and the ability of God to use every Christian for service, we believe our report offers the Church a route through a debate that has, at times, become toxic, and allows us to model a better way of engaging with issues of gender. "Because in these days when we as a Church are building for the future, we need to make sure that it is the Lord that is building the house. "That it is the Triune God of Father, Son and Spirit - confessed in our creeds and confessions, yet experienced most fully when we live in love - that is building us up.”
