    If it’s not indiscrete to ask. Did the beard go with the hormones or is there still the need for you to shave? (If it indeed is to indiscrete to be answered, then please just ignore the question. 🙂)

      i think that’s what this comm is all about!

      My beard continues to grow although the rate of growth slowed a bit. It is the only thing that really gives me dysphoria.

      On the daily i shave it, on the weekly i zap it with IPL to make it grow even slower/thinner.

      In the near term i’m looking into epilating the parts that are safe to.

      In the long term i intend to get electrolysis which is how you permanently (i think) stop the facial hair growth!
