just a general discussion of happy trails. im curious about what your thoughts may be.
my thoughts on mine? i like it. i just wish it hadnt expanded into a giant delta that now ends at each side and the middle of my chest. lol
Want one. But all I have is hair everywhere all over my gut. None above and none below.

I had a happy trail long before T. Before I decided to transition I found it a little embarrassing. Now I don't really have an opinion one way or the other.
What I find interesting is how much I'm growing to like the hair that's sprouting all over my thighs, Never thought I would, before. :icon_confused2:
My happy trail makes me happy :-)
I love walking around the house just in my boxers and having my happy trail down my belly, looks cool and makles me feel neat, lol
Soon you'd start marking territory like tigers! :D
Shush...! ignore that last line :)
I have one and i'm not on T yet. It will make me happier when I lose weight...
When I get one, I will proudly display it for a week. Then I will shave it off; they're ugly. Actually, I probably won't have much of one, so I probably won't bother.
I loved my happy trail when I had one pre-t. Now I just have a forest growing on my belly. Genetic predisposition for body hair FTW ;D
yea, i think im going to end up with a much harier bely the way im going. it started out like a little strip of trees, now its like a reforestation project has baan taken up on my stomach.
I wish I had a more noticeable one. I've always had a slight one before T, now there's a bit more hair but not much. I'm happy, but I'll be more happy when it gets hairier
I noticed pretty much anyone on T gets super hairy, many times they do more than men who are not on this sort of therapy.
Did anyone else notice that?
Seems like anyone I met, and now heard of over here, have a forest at the chests, legs, thighs..
Could it be the double androgen receptors?

Maybe, but I think some FTMs tend to overestimate the amount of hair they get in relation to the amount of hair many cismales have. Since we're born and live with the much more minimal female body hair growth for a number of years, the amount of hair growth caused by T can seem rather shocking - but based on all the FTMs and FTM pictures I've seen, I don't think most of us ACTUALLY grow any more hair than we would have had we been born XY.
And just so you can tick that hairy-FTM-encounter-statistic down to 99%, I've been on T for 5.5 months and I only have slightly more thigh hair (and all of my leg hair has darkened slightly, but it's nowhere near black), blooming sideburns (which are coming in very nicely) and some darkened chin/throat growth (my dad's very big on the throat growth). I have no hint of back hair, exactly five chest hairs (two more than I had pre-T), and - very happily - no butt crack hair. I come from a reasonably non-hairy family (my mom is English, and my dad, despite being Russian, has little chest hair and almost no back hair at all), so chalk one more up to the all-mighty "Everything's DNA".
Edit: And (which I forgot initially, despite the TITLE OF THE THREAD), I have developed a thin, rather cute (and nowhere near foresty) happy trail. And yes, it does make me happy.
I had a slight happy trail and hair on my toes & feet since a teenager. I'm not sure what happened but a few years ago they just... disappeared. :-\ I'm hoping they'll come back soon being on T. I really liked them.
they would... if I had one. :laugh: nah, I'm not hoping for much more hair. I've got some under my navel, that's it.
Lost mine when i gave birth. It is slowly making a comeback, a 21 year comeback that T will hopefully speed up.
So, uh, are you asking us to contemplate the area around our navels? :icon_blink: (Sorry, some days I can't resist the bad jokes. ;) )

Yep they make me happy :icon_dance: :icon_dance: :icon_dance: I dont got a beard :D :D :D but I got happy trails & lotsa hair on my arms. legs & under my navel. 8) 8) 8)
Yes the happy trail makes me happy... Not a huge surprise since I've shared pics of it. :P
I do love my body hair and my happy trail I just wish the hair on my chest would come through darker there is alot of it its just light brown :-(
Need to cover those scars!!

oooh yes my new happy trail makes me very happy! i have always wanted one but was always oh-so-smooth. the cismen in my family aren't terribly hairy, which i'm cool with. i now have the happy trail, thigh hair and my shin hair is a lot thicker than it used to be.
i'm pretty happy that i have fine, light body hair and not body pubes ;)
They would if I had one. Right now they're just a reminder that I'm not male.

3.5 months on T and don't have one yet, I'm not sure if I'll get one, I hope so though because I'd like to have a cute girl follow that happy little trail with her soft lips and find the treasure at the end!
Yeah. Pre-T and I have a happy trail anyway, have for several years now. It definitely makes me happy :laugh:
to share the happy trail joy

One thing I don't like about happy trails...my belly button collects lint now that there's hair there.
Pre-T and I have a happy trail, although it's blonde(because I am). I expect it to fill in more and crawl up to my chest when I get on T.
Hmm I need a decent digi camera! I have a Sony Mavica which is a camera I LOVE but need some stuff to make it "go" which may cost me $100 but may well be worth it.
I also have access to some horrendously expensive thing with a ton of memory and pixels and such, it's just not my beloved Mavica.
And 2 gayboys who'll take pics of me even my happy trail when I get one, and email me the pics, I have to go over and hang out at their place and talk 'em into it though. Kinda a hassle.
I note the hair getting just a bit coarser in happy trail territory but it's stil too early yet for me. My barber tells me my hair's gotten coarser though that's a sign of hope. ::)
Happy trails make me ever so happy <3
I'm pre-T and I have the makings of one. I can't wait to see what happens when I'm actually on T!

heres mine. not really a trait any more. :P you cant see all of it, but it goes to the sides of my belly an all the way up my chest a little past the middle of my sternum.

Same here :D I'm Non-T and I still have one. I'm very proud of it xD
Mine would be more appreciated if it didn't accent my giant gut.

Double androgen receptors? I've never heard of that... but I know I'm far hairier than I ever thought I'd be. However, it's completely in line with men in my family. My little brother has every bit as much body hair as I do, so I don't really see it as being too unusual.
As per happy trails, I had one prior to T. Now I just have a mess of hair that extends from about an inch below my collarbone to... well, I guess it doesn't really stop.

photobucket took my pic down earlier leaving a thing that said it was inapropriate... does anyone know how to dispute those things? are people just flagging "unnatractive" pictures as offensive?
If Photobucket only had that censorship ability over the beaches of the USA and for that matter its Wal-Marts.
I don't understand, it's a tummy.

Same here. I have no hair on my stomach except for the faint trace of a happy trail if you look close. Once on T the hair should be more prominent there. A very happy thought ;D
Ohman, I was a hairy mess before I even started T. Now that I've been on it for 8 months it's just hair EVERYWHERE. It's kind of funny because I don't grow hair on my feet. I've got a -ton- of hair on my legs all the way down to my ankles and then it just cuts off.
On the subject of happy trails though, I think mine is just a tad too much. I had a happy trail before I was on T, which I liked, but now it's like I'm growing a fur coat. My dad picks on me because I'm hairier than he is, by a lot. I got the hair distribution from my mom's side. Heh.

I'm a little less worried about getting too much body hair and more worried about loosing the hair on my head. There is baldness on both sides of my family. :-\
... and baldness is carried on the X chromosome. Yes, we're all screwed. Just remember: there's always Rogaine. I think the statistic is something like 90% of people who use it either stop losing or start to regrow their hair. I'll be giving them quite a bit of business as soon as I get the money.
