I've worn a beard for a VERY long time (since 1970 - that's over 30 years) and wore a 'stash before that ('66-'70).

There was a short window in the early/mid '90's where I did not wear face fur as I had shaved it off to see what I looked like (I had no idea).

BTW: Nail polish can be a problem, but ladie's shoe styles aren't. Heck, buying men's shoes is a bigger problem for me with small, narrow feet. Most men's shoe departments/shops start one or two sizes too large for me, and too wide. I usually wear women's shoes in a unisex style because that's what fits well.

Your endocrine status/treatment makes sense to me. Of course, if you are off T and on E--and you are a nullo--you have pretty well transitioned youself from male to female.

Well, I am a eunuch, off testosterone, and taking estrogen. But I do NOT regard myself as female, do NOT regard myself as transitioning, and solidly identify myself as, and dress as, a male.

So why the estrogen? To supress the hot flashes and (as Tomas noted) to hopefully ward of osteoporsosis. Currently on 2.5 mg of Premarin, taken every morning after breakfast.

Do I have some mild feminization, including gynecomastia. Yes. Is it a big deal in my life? No. I do not wear female clothing, I do not wear nail polish, I do not wear high heeled shoes, and I don't wear panties.

O yes, and I shave once a week, which is all I need to do nowadays.

My avatar was taken last February. If I ever do an update, I am sure it will show me to still be a male.



O yes, and in case you were wondering, I started the estrogen after 13 months as a eunuch not on any kind of HRT. I had developed "The Eunuch Calm", which did include "mood swings" like crying jags. After 5 months on estrogen, I have not noted any personality changes whatsoever that could be attributed to the estrogen.

Hi Andrew,

I noticed that you said, "I do not wear female clothing." But then how come you wear a kilt (which. I recall has nothing under it)??

Seriously though, since you are so active here, what can we do to convince you to update your photograph--just for some diversity?

On the one hand, a kilt is NOT a female garment.



On the other hand, I am not quite sure why you think we need some diversity. As I recall it, I was the first to have an avatar that showed someone as they really were.



On the gripping hand, I would like to have a new avatar, to include both me and Pearly the cat. But I don't have a digital camera and have no idea how I would send a picture to BBoy anyhow. My current avatar was taken by someone else, and posted on the CORFLU 19 web site.

Perhaps somebody in the EA, with digital camera and a way to send pictures to Bboy, could stop by my apartment in LA and take a few pictures, to be rotated as my new avatars. Just a thought. I think Pearly would go along. Pearly, what say you?

Those look rather bulky and uncomfortable. Why not just wear a skirt as they look a lot more comfortable?

Actually they are comfortable, fit better, and are much more durable than any skirt I've run into.

Some of the Utilikilts are rather bulky and stiff, but not all are.

Doesn't having a beard tend to scratch when you kiss someone?

Actually, It has seldom caused any discomfort while kissing, but it has caused thighburns . . .

I tend to keep it a little longer and very well conditioned so it it smooth and silky rather than bristly. I've only rarely gotten any complaints or left any marks.

I love those kilts. I am surprised that I haven't seen them on the streets here, living as a do in New Scotland (i.e., Nova Scotia). Thanks, Thomas, for pointing me to that website.
