Thanks I know it was in jest as it is quite serious and causing some angst for me as it would to any of us in this situation.

Looks like I cant escape so will welcome you anytime your in Sydney.

Instead of being forced to grow a beard for charity, why don't you say you are dressing as a woman for charity?  :)

Shaved what pathetic growth I now have off last night so now clean.

I will just tell them no.

Thanks Cindy again.

Say you don't wanna, and give money for the cause instead. Even for guys, moustaches are gross, anyway. If you need an excuse, say your girlfriend/wife/roommate/sister/mother absolutely refused that you do such a thing. Most women wouldn't accept the participation of a man close to them in Movember without a frown anyway.

Oh yeah, as for excuses, there's always saying that you get awful ingrowns if your beard grows. It's true for many people.

Yes say  "can you really imagine me with a beard but tell you what I will give a prize (to the charity of course) for the best beard grown." Then every day say "come on lets see whose in the lead"

By joining in the fun you will still be part of the team I clents or customers ask.

O I am the before for them all to be judged by.

Beinging positive is always best

I never heard of work places enforcing to grow a beard. I know uniformed police officers are not allowed to have any facial fair, but undercover ones are.

I don't think the Taliban do it for charity, mind you.

Wow! You Aussies really are very influential! We even have "Movember" here in South Africa as well, though it is not compulsary. We are doing it for the same cause.

I bet Cindy had something to do with exporting it here.  ;D

It happens in the US, but it has a different name and is primarily a fashion statement. Pretty much the same idea as labor day.

Not wishing to hijack the thread, but, Maegan, you look absolutely inspiring in that gown of yours. I'll bet it and the night this photo was taken on tells of an incredible story?

Can't wait to hear.     :o   ;D

Me? I'm just a sweet innocent young lady, who has a collection of jewel encrusted branding irons. A girl has to have a hobby.

Agree about that dress. Sis you look hot.

Did you have a Mo as an accessory?

Well, of you can't grow a mo, maybe you could wear one like the girls, you said it was very funny yourself.

I'm growing one despite the fact nobody else in my workplace is, they're all telling me it is hideous and I should remove it, which is why it's still here because I'm stubborn like that.

I think it makes you look regal, in a Black Adder regal way :embarrassed: :laugh:

I have to report that the girls have gone off wearing their moes after a couple of days and honestly, who can blame them!  On another point, I can say that I actually can't tell who is growing one for Movember, who just doesn't shave much (can't for the life of me think why you would grow hair on your face but it seems fashionable!)....oh, and those not shaving because they have an electrolysis appointment tomorrow!  I think there is only one of those but I could be wrong  ::).

To Jenny07, I hope things are sorting themselves out and nobody is being stupid about this (as stupid seems to describe how unnecessary your situation was).  Whenever I see someone who is participating, I think of your situation, mine and just what if... It has made me think in terms of developing plans in the event something like this arises.

Still getting some grief. The others hate it and want to get rid of their growth.
For me I am glad my facial hair is all but gone now,  ;D ;D
Only a few patches left now and no chances of joining the fabulous facial fungus festival of Movember.
So long and thanks for all the fish

Good on you Girl!!

A little bit of grief for a lot of personal satisfaction in standing against bullying tactics. By the time you are post transition you will have encountered a lot more of this nonsense. Now you know how to deal with it.

Congratulations

Thank Catherine

Still holding out on doing my Baldric slug balancing act at work, I think they have given up as no more grief at this point, we have been too busy. Most of the other are getting sick of it now so I just smile and I have my next laser session next weekend so what remains will be almost gone for good.
Still have to sum up the courage to move forward but one step at a time.
Need to sort out a doctor and a therapist to help as I have no idea. ??? ???
