    Been there, done that. What helped me was two things.

    1. Finding out nobody cared that much about my beard missing, except some close friends/partner but they also know me

    2. Just saying “I wanted to try something new” which is definitely not a lie :3

    Honestly shaving makes a huuge difference. Even now, a couple of months into hrt and permanent hair removal the difference a fresh shave makes for my self-recognition in the mirror is astounding!

      It’s mostly about my family, especially my mom. She’s a different kind of judgmental sometimes. And she’s the last person I want to get a sniff about me changing in any way.

      I know… I’m happy it’s long pants season again so I can shave my legs and it hits completely different.

      I might shave my face, too, but only when I don’t have to meet with my family for a few weeks so I can grow some of my beard back. After New Year is probably gonna be good time since it’s probably scarf season anyway.
