I've never ever ever seen a Transman in any picture with facial hair. I'm almost certain you guys can grow it once your on T I've just never seen it... Not even a moustache...

Any reasons for the universally scarce whiskers?

As soon as I can grow facial hair I'm definitely growing a beard. I just started T 9 days ago so I have a looooong time ahead of me. I think it can take up to a year for real facial hair to start growing on some guys. I'm half spanish so I already can grow a moustache but I don't like the way it looks.

Probably because they shave.

I've seen tons of ftms with facial hair.

I think the reason for lack of facial haired guys on here is because many are still early in transition, but I assure you, there are trans guys with facial hair lol, that's one of the best parts of going on T!  I've met a couple w/ it but I'm not gonna put their pics on here.. look up charlesasher on youtube for one example

Oh and that guy, Thomas Beattie I think? He had facial hair in his pics and I know you must've seen those..

That website, I think it's called something like sucessful transmen, amused me last time I looked at it as about 90% of the guys on it are sporting some form of facial hair.

Personally I'd quite like to have a very neatly trimmed full beard if it suited me, but I'm still waiting for the hair to come in.

Oh yeah thanks ye ^_^ Yeah he's hairy.

And beattie Yeah I had seem him before and your right... I was probably just more distracted by the belly in the pics I'd seen thus missed it.

I've seen MANY trans guys with facial hair including full beards. I don't think there's that much of an over abundance of trans guys that don't have facial hair post transition. The thing is getting to the point where one CAN grow facial hair.

Check out Successful TransMen Photos you'll find most have some form of facial hair.

I beat ya to it MWHAHAHA! ... Though it would have helped if I had read that part of the post and actually responded to it when I posted the link but oh well.

I have facial hair.

I've got facial hair   although its not that clear in the pic. If you look carefully u'll be able to see it.

There are guys with facial hair. When I do finally take the plunge and go on T that'll be my favorite part. Eventually having facial hair! I'm gonna have something different every other week  lol

I don't really want it. I could live without that part of being on T - when I get to that point, I'll definitely be shaving.

I could grow an epic beard if I wanted. My dad is Moses or Santa. About 1 year on hormones. I don't show my face for privacy reasons... If I don't shave, I'm an ape.

I'm almost 3 months, and I'm starting to feel impatient with the facial growth. I know it's going to take a while, but I'm waiting to get more hairs. Right now there's more peach fuzz, but my happy trail and legs are beating my face in terms of hair growth.

It'll happen. Look at your relatives. We really do get what we would've. I could grow a full beard (and almost do if I don't shave for a week!).

I wish I knew both sides of my family. I do know that my bio-dad can grow a goatee but I don't know if he can a full beard, one of my brother's can't really grow anything, and another has a decent beard. It's too varied for me to really pin point, but I'll probably be able to grow something. It looks like I'll be able to grow at the very least a soul patch or a mustache judging by what is growing in.

I need to relearn patience.

At just 3 months in, you have plenty more to go to see the final results.
