Here is a screenshot of where to find the spoiler button.
A beard can help cover up certain aspects of the face, and I actually unknowingly got dysphoria when I tried a few years back (my head was also shaved for reference). It didn't help that everyone said I looked better with the beard, and so I grew it out again. I eventually started growing my hair out, and I shaved it again. This had a much better result, and at the time this was an improvement, though I still didn't like my face. After starting HRT, the face starts to change pretty soon, and after shaving now it's a night and day difference. I go from looking masculine to looking androgynous (kind of), and I'm only 3 months into HRT. I'm really happy with where I am, and I am excited to see how I will continue to improve. I get euphoria every time I shave.
These are my feelings though, and everyone feels different. You may not feel the same, and U have heard of people (including myself at a point) having less dysphoria with a beard. If HRT is something you are looking into, it really helps change a masculine face.
voice dysphoria
Also voice dysphoria is frustrating. It feels so difficult to change something I have used a certain way for so long. Strangely enough for me, though, it's hardest to change around my family. I already masked so much in public that speaking differently is just another piece of the mask (that doesn't mean it sounds good though). I hate it every time my voice comes out deep, and I wonder if my family had noticed that I try to correct it every time it happens.Edit: Forgot to mention a journal/diary is great, it really helps with not only venting but keeping track of feelings.
Isn't that way this website is? An interactive journal/diary? /halfjoking
