Is there a way to speed up the process?

[cquin1992]

I need to know if there is, my mom is still refusing to call me a male and it makes me furious, when everybody else calls me a male, she said she will not start referring to me as one as long as I don't have facial hair and look more manly, is there a way to speed anything up?

As long as you are taking T, Minoxidil 5% might help speed up the process of facial hair growth

Be careful of going too fast.

There are things you need to learn through experience about "being".  If you pressed the magic button and one day woke up in the other body it would be, in my opinion, a disaster.

How to walk, talk, interact with people, experiment with clothing styles, hygiene, gender specific protocols, etc  Guys and gals are treated very differently in society.  Getting used to those differences is part of the transition for both you and those around you.

Your mom's actions stink and she's putting herself first.  Do remember that this is VERY hard for our loved ones.  You've been thinking about this for years (? Decades?). She has not.

One thing I can say is that once you do have facial hair she will be starting from square one on pronouns. You might want to explain to her that this time is for both of you to transition and if she doesn't start now, she will be a year behind everyone else. 

Let us know how things progress.  I hope it gets better.

This is just an impression based on what you've said, but I think your mother is setting up moving goal posts. Not all men have facial hair, and there is no one version of manly. I would bet that she doesn't withhold male pronouns from other men in her life based on their facial hair or perceived manilness. It seems more like she is just creating a standard out of thin air, for you, because she is not supportive of your transition. If you are able to grow a big bushy beard and crush rocks with your fists, she will likely find some other reason why you don't "deserve" male pronouns.

I hope I'm wrong, maybe she just has a facial hair hang up and she will be pronoun Fonzi once you have one. But regardless, you are a guy, and I beg you not to risk your health trying to speed up the effects of HRT in an effort to reach what is likely a false goal.

I can understand perfectly I am grown and been moved out of my parents home for a while, but my parents are still calling me by my dead name and using wrong pronouns. It is frustrating but, you have to give everyone their time to adjust and accept things. Your mother has known you one way for so many years so this is an adjustment for her. You can't expect an overnight change. Your friends didn't birth you and haven't lived through all your bumps and scrapes. As such you really have to give family a little more time. You may grow a beard or not. I didn't have an impressive one before transitioning so, not all men are created the same. There are many ways to look more manly than a beard, getting buff, presenting as male, and just start doing male like things. So many things you can do to maybe help her along.
