Facial Hair Dysphoria

[Chic]

Very upset. Not sure if there's anything to do about this since my father won't let me laser much less transition until I'm 18 when he has no control over my decisions. Puberty has a few last tricks up its sleeves and I'm staying true to my Italian genes by having very, very dark facial hair on my neck and it's slowly advancing up. I had some for a few years but it was easy to shave. Now no matter what I do I can't shave it all off, and there's just permanent stubble and it keeps growing quicker and quicker after every shave. Now it's almost entirely pointless to shave because it does nothing no matter how long I shave for

Point is, I have to wait until 18 to do anything about this. I'm stuck until then

Sigh only a year and two months left

Would he allow at least anti androgens? That would suspend things until you could start HRT.

Nope, he's against those too =/ He wants to get me into therapy to make me feel comfortable in 'my own body', or as my biological gender, basically.

Ugh...I'm sorry you have to deal with such ignorance.

Thank you, it's fine though. I'll probably have to move out and be homeless when I'm 18 though.

When I can't afford laser, or the Tria is charging, or not around I have become a bit addicted to plucking. I just cannot stand stubble, what is worse is that lots of my stubble now has got finer, and clear or white once I started Bicalutamide. This is good in the fact it minimizes appearance, but I still want it gone, and lots of it seems to be far too light for the Tria now, and some of it too light even for professional lasers.

Honestly, I think I am bothered by facial hair more than having a penis. I plan on fixing but, but my remaining facial hair is basically top priority.

So true!    Alien tendrils growing out of my face that everyone can see.

I totally agree with you girls I have also hated my facial hair but have been to poor to do much about it until last Friday that is I had my first laser session and paid for 3 more so hopefully it will start to decline.

I really feel for you chic it's never nice having someone else controlling what you do with your own body I hope that one day you will have the freedom to become who you really are.

You could look at it this way Chic, having real dark facial hair against your light skin will make them easier to remove permanently with laser. I know it would be better to not have it at all but if you do have to put up with it for a year or so thank gosh it;s dark hair that can be easily removed. Also, Hikari mentioned plucking. It's what I used to do at your age. I hated it so much I plucked each and every last one of them.
I truly feel for you for I know all too well what it's like to have a father, or, an adopted one inmy case, that blocks your every attempt at being you.

All my best.
