You women are really starting to sell me on hormones, Holy shit! One of my biggest concerns is what about body hair? I’m a fuckin bear right now, would that just stop, or does it require full body electrolysis?
In time it thins; but never stops. Body hair is a burden among transfems, but don’t let that be what stops you. Honestly, if you’re considering HRT to such a degree, it’s well worth trying. I can’t describe the mental clarity I experienced within the first week.
My patchy back hair stopped after 16’ish months. My body hair stopped and/or thinned to where its either translucent, villous hair on my tummy or a few dark hairs across my breasts.
The only place currently needing electrolysis is my face and later the groin area for GRS consideration.

Mine stopped. My body hair just went away with HRT.
It’s a roll of the dice of course. You can’t guarantee that it will go away, but it is possible!
It’s just so thick and continuous, head to tow 😓 definitely disheartening.
Almost literally painfully disappointing to hear.
Body hair can disappear on HRT. You can’t rely on it going away, but it sometimes does
This was my experience
That’s good to hear it does happen sometimes, but uh, I am working with a lot more than that unfortunately
Ultimately, you can’t really know what will happen until it happens. It’s a roll of the dice :)
Makes sense to half my brain, but the autistic side is like “I need to know what will happen first!”
Gods,the though of chest hair on breasts… 🤢
Other than that, landing androgynously nonbinary is an option? I guess?
Oh, don’t sweat that. There’s a lot of different ways of dealing with it. Waxing, shaving, laser, electrolysis…
Only if you’re non binary…
🤷♀️
3 months ago I didn’t give being cis a second thought 😅 who knows really. I do have a book about identity I really need to work through though.
