Fuck, does that lizard even make content these days?
Ok but what are these trans people taking for those beards? Cause I'm Cis and I've never been able to grow such a majestic beard, mine cuts out after like an inch in length.
Minoxidil
Is that strictly prescription?
No lol it’s over the counter and you apply it topically. The liquid is more powerful than the foam, but the foam is better for sensitive skin.
Couple of things:
- Wash your face before use
- Apply it topically to the area 2* a day
- Wash it off after an hour then apply moisturiser
- Use sunscreen and wear a hat. Minox makes skin more sensitive to sun damage.
It was originally a blood pressure medication with a side effect of growing hair. Don’t take it if you have blood pressure issues.
I’ve been applying it for a couple of years and I went from not being able to grow a single hair to having a pretty decent beard— still needs some improvement though, so I’m applying once per day.
Just a note to anyone considering minoxidil, it is extremely toxic to cats even in very small amounts.
As a cis man with a big bushy beard, what happens if I use this?
If your body has the ability to grow more hairs, it will grow more hairs.
Apparently you have to take Minoxidil for life? Seems like there are pros and cons
No lol where did you hear that? You take it for a couple of years then stop once the hairs have become terminal hairs
I watched a youtube short from a "doctor". That's the extent of my exposure to the subject
You have to take Minox until your vellus hairs develop into terminal hairs. That’s it. Once they’re terminal, you keep them.
And a shitload of testosterone
it is just genetics for the most part I am trans, been on T for years, and my beard is really shitty/patchy

Dude turned out fuckin hot. Helps that he's wearing a Nasty Pig hat.
I just googled what nasty pig is and if they have some cool stuff. Hoooo weee their hompage ia wild
Yea, producers of LGBTQ+ stuff tend to have some insane homepages. When you include adult clothes and toys into that? Delectable.

Like a just add testosterone chia pet. That boy was made for manliness.
Could be why sad little men tend to care so much about their t level. They think that this one little hormone will do thr same for them. While I'm here not even 30 yet, terrible beard growth and growing bald. Kindly normalize less hairy men, trans or otherwise. :)
I am a cis male. I am so freaking jealous you guys can do that! I grow thin little stragglers. They're red too, which is weird because I have brown hair.
Mine are blond, even though I have brown hair.
Mine are grey - but that's because I'm old as fuck.
