Hold the Burkha! (sp)

That would raise the statistics on how many GN posters are men, which would please some people.

I'm thinking I may have to start identifying as a man.

Balding: check.
Beard: check.
Voice: been told my voice sounds as if it belongs to someone emerging from under a manhole cover.

Why not give up on the epilation front and just tie on a pretty ribbon, like Trickywoo? It would save a fortune!

Erm.... well..... a little bit.

Does your username reflect your appearance, Chewbacca?

I haven't got a deep voice Elegran, honestly.

But there are a few posters who seem to have more testosterone than oestrogen, in spite of their feminine presentation.

I think I'm safe, Phoenix

Uh oh! So might there have been a different reason as to why I was walking like John Wayne for a fortnight? Nothing to do with Immac? I'm really a.......... man? ?

Elegran do go ever feel the urge to stand up to pee? Is so, and you actually do, is your aim spot on? Do you leave your socks on the floor? Do you expect items that you are looking for to jump up and say "Coo eee! Here I am!"

if the answer to the above questions is "NO", then don't worry, you are definitely not turning into a man.

Hope this helps.

My head hair is very thick, my facial hair needs controlling.
However, mid parts seem to have become much less hairy until I get to my legs. I used not to notice until lockdown because I could get them waxed.

30 years after menopause, 15 of those during and after courses of Tamoxifen and other oestrogen inhibitors, I certainly don't have increased facial hair or decreased head hair, and I don't think I am turning into a man. If anyone notices any significant signs of that, please do tell me!

No, reverse that, they should all be like werewolves!

If that is the case, those who have had ten years of anti-oestrogen drugs after breast cancer surgery to discourage a repeat should all be bald?

I did. I thought that when oestrogen declines and testosterone does not, that that may be the reason for more noticeable/ unwanted facial hair.

Who mentioned hormone imblance???

Mine too - thinning hair is not something I have to worry about.

Sorry to bust your theory GabriellaG54 the hair on my head is very thick and grows like a weed! Getting tempted to order one of those thinning/stripping combs that dog groomers use

I can't have much testosterone as I have no facial or underarm hair at all but very thick head hair.
Is there no medication that can stop the hormone imbalance?
Maybe thinning head hair plus excess facial hair means you are turning into men...??

Shall I try it, we just got a bottle in our delivery. For DH not me, I don't like it.

Callistemon, first reading I thought you were recommending SALAD cream

I used the one for facial hair and sensitive skin too...

I know I sound like an absolute doom-monger but just be aware phoenix that if you do use it and it all goes horribly wrong like mine did you’ll be looking at a trip to the Drs/A&E/out of hours to get it treated - and these are not places you want to be at this time.

I have used depilatory creams on my face for years with no problem. I always buy one that is specifically for facial hair and use Savlon cream afterwards.
My daughter bleaches her facial hair, again with a product specifically for this not Domestos Good luck Phoenix

Since all I get is strong dark hairs, electrolysis is the only solution.

I remember that Elegran and it was hilariously funny! Think I'll revisit it today.

Phoenix please, do be careful. It's savage stuff.
