A lot of us experience dysphoria about a lot of things. Personally, one of my biggest points of dysphoria is my facial/body hair and masculine sounding voice.

We believe this should be a community where all trans people are welcome to give and receive support on their journey.

Feel free to rant about what's been bothering you and try and comment on someone else's comment with some encouragement! It can really go a long way to brightening someone's day!

Love to all my trans brothers, sisters, enbies and all other flavors of people who live as they are ❤️

For what it's worth your presentation sounds awesome to me and curled moustaches have always had a somewhat gender ambiguous or nb vibe to me. Like they're beards which read masc but they're curled which reads fem to me.

Well, hecc. I guess I've been talking it up around here for long enough I might as well post it~

That is a mighty well behaved 'Stache you have there! My beard/stache resembles Davy Jones from pirates of the Caribbean; unruly groups of curls/coils resembling tentacles. And in literally every color in the rainbow (I combed through it in the shower this morning and snagged a single pure white hair).

Why, thank you, and that sounds like an awesome beard!

12/10 thank you for sharing 🥹

It's my pleasure! 😄

Beautiful. Majestic. Delicate. The mustache does not disappoint.

I am so glad I got to see this gorgeous mustache!

Do you have to reapply hair wax or something through the day?

[–] knightly@pawb.social 3 points 5 months ago

Not usually! Any sort of high-hold product can manage it, but the trick is in the application technique. Contrary to the popular image of the moustache-twirling villain, twisting messes up the alignment. You've gotta spike it out straight and then bend it for the curve. 🤓
