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.

      Hi all!    I’ve been here numerous years and followed discussions in the shadows. I began my medical transition in 2018. Lost a lot of friends and family, but grew so much along the way!    Fast forward to the surgical journey.   August 2020 - Vaginoplasty  I underwent my vaginoplasty in Austin TX during the start of COVID. It was a rough recovery. I suffered some separation of stitches which landed me having physical restrictions. I then began suffering from hypergranulation within my canal which led me to seeing the GYN twice a week for 13 weeks for silver nitrate treatments. The silver nitrate ended up causing stenosis which led to my next surgery.    April 2021 - Surgical Revision I had a revision of my vaginal canal which helped with dilation…for only 3 weeks! I underwent about 10 months of pelvic floor therapy to no avail. Dilation was near impossible. So this led to my next revision.    April 2022 - Revision and Breast Augmentation   This surgery I decided to do my breast augmentation concurrently. The breast augmentation went phenomenal, no pain, 575cc Silicone implants. Awesome results.    The vaginal revision, both my primary surgeon and an additional surgeon with expertise in complicated pelvic disorders performed the revision together.    immediately I felt amazing after with no issues dilating! I am now 2 years post final revision and have no issues dilating once a week and have sex with no problem!    March 2024- Facial Feminization Surgery   I decided to have FFS after much thought. I had it done at Duke University.  I had the following done:   -Type 3 forehead reconstruction and sinus setback -Cheek implants - Orbital contouring  - Sliding Genioplasty -Submental liposuction    Recovery was not bad. First 5 days were a tad sore and uncomfortable- but honestly minimal pain.      Surgeons Vaginoplasty- Dr. Ashley DeLeon Breast Augmentation- Dr. Gerhard Mundinger FFS- Dr. Elda Fisher    I’m happy to answer any questions!   Kylie

      Contrary to some recommendations we make for members, the Vicky part is just my legal FN and the SGV does give my home location within a few hundred square miles.  When I joined here the Vicky all by itself was taken so I had to add something else to it.

      Vidanjali is a combination of the Sanskrit words "vidya" and "anjali". Vidya means intuitive knowledge or divine knowledge (where its antonym is ignorance) and anjali means offering. For example, in yoga, anjali mudra is the position of hands in prayer at the heart center. So, Vidanjali expresses my desire to be an instrument of illumination and goodwill in the world and to be of service to others.

      My pleasure. I am looking forward to reading it too. I also recommend the Saslow book. Amazing story.   For all, here is the synopsis of Black's new book. Any you'll notice the use of they/them pronouns.   "When coded language and creeping authoritarianism spread the ideas of white nationalists, this is an essential book with a powerful voice. Derek Black was raised to take over the white nationalist movement in the United States. Their father, Don Black, was a former Grand Wizard in the Ku Klux Klan and started Stormfront, the internet’s first white supremacist website—Derek built the kids’ page. David Duke, was also their close family friend and mentor. Racist hatred, though often wrapped up in respectability, was all Derek knew.   Then, while in college in 2013, Derek publicly renounced white nationalism and apologized for their actions and the suffering that they had caused. The majority of their family stopped speaking to them, and they disappeared into academia, convinced that they had done so much harm that there was no place for them in public life. But in 2016, as they watched the rise of Donald Trump, they immediately recognized what they were hearing—the spread and mainstreaming of the hate they had helped cultivate—and they knew that they couldn’t stay silent. This is a thoughtful, insightful, and moving account of a singular life, with important lessons for our troubled times. Derek can trace a uniquely insider account of the rise of white nationalism, and how a child indoctrinated with hate can become an anti-racist adult. Few understand the ideology, motivations, or tactics of the white nationalist movement like Derek, and few have ever made so profound a change."

      I am always fascinated and curious about the names we choose for ourselves on this forum.   Many have me very curious as to the history/reason behind them.  If it's not prying too much and you are willing to share, it would be great to hear the why behind your choice.  I'm actually a little jealous of the creativity here, as my name is anything but creative.  It's just my actual girl name.  Very boring, I know.  But so many of you out there have such unique and thought provoking forum names.

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

      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.
