I’ve been anxious about shaving my face completely since I get worried I don’t pass without facial hair (or that I’d look 10 years old). But today I tried it out, and I’m really happy that I can plainly see how obviously my face shape has changed on T. (For reference, here is a photo of me from July 2016, at 19 and a month before I went on T.)
Left is a photo of me from about a month ago, with the length I try to keep my beard around. I’ve had it like that for at least a year. Right is today, right after I shaved it completely. I like having a beard a lot, but I also like knowing that in the future, if I grow one, it will solely be because I like it, and not also because I’m uncomfortable with my face.
