    Ok but what are these trans people taking for those beards? Cause I’m Cis and I’ve never been able to grow such a majestic beard, mine cuts out after like an inch in length.

      Minoxidil

          Not a shitload. All hormone takers are supposed to be regularly tested to make sure they dont contain excessive hormones.

          If your body has the ability to grow more hairs, it will grow more hairs.

          No lol it’s over the counter and you apply it topically. The liquid is more powerful than the foam, but the foam is better for sensitive skin.

          Couple of things:

          • Wash your face before use
          • Apply it topically to the area 2* a day
          • Wash it off after an hour then apply moisturiser
          • Use sunscreen and wear a hat. Minox makes skin more sensitive to sun damage.

          It was originally a blood pressure medication with a side effect of growing hair. Don’t take it if you have blood pressure issues.

          I’ve been applying it for a couple of years and I went from not being able to grow a single hair to having a pretty decent beard— still needs some improvement though, so I’m applying once per day.

            Just a note to anyone considering minoxidil, it is extremely toxic to cats even in very small amounts.

        Apparently you have to take Minoxidil for life? Seems like there are pros and cons

          No lol where did you hear that? You take it for a couple of years then stop once the hairs have become terminal hairs

            I watched a youtube short from a “doctor”. That’s the extent of my exposure to the subject

              You have to take Minox until your vellus hairs develop into terminal hairs. That’s it. Once they’re terminal, you keep them.

    Could be why sad little men tend to care so much about their t level. They think that this one little hormone will do thr same for them. While I’m here not even 30 yet, terrible beard growth and growing bald. Kindly normalize less hairy men, trans or otherwise. :)

    I am a cis male. I am so freaking jealous you guys can do that! I grow thin little stragglers. They’re red too, which is weird because I have brown hair.

    Y’know it’s nice to see memes about trans men since you barely hear anything about them

    The fact that most discussion is about trans women just kinda shows how little people care about men.
