"Alex Drummond said she kept her beard to 'widen the bandwidth of gender'
This psychotherapist and photographer says she wants to "widen the bandwidth of gender" so she kept her beard and partakes in traditionally masculine activities.
Alex Drummond, of Cardiff, began to transition six years ago, and has since written a book and appears in YouTube videos.
51-year-old Drummond said she "was aware that I was unlikely ever to pass as natal female, so what I wanted to do is to see if it was possible to create another space"."

I think she's absolutely stunning and looks amazing with her beard. I love androgyny. ;D

That's really brave. I couldn't do that myself, so I admire her courage.

To each their own, but if i couldn't pass I would get rid of my beard just to feel better.

There have been a few people on these forums who have presented as bearded ladies.
I admire folks who use their gender presentation to try to win acceptance for those who don't conform. Not something I'd ever do myself. I want too much to fit in.
