    After spending ten minutes on the toilet pondering, I think „growing facial hair“ is the best counter-example I can come up with.

    Or I just don‘t know enough women who like growing facial hair.

      That’s simple. Growing facial hair isn’t cool, it’s facial hair itself that’s cool.
      Someone with a big walrusy Wilford Brimly moustache is cooler than someone who’s working on growing a moustache.

        Well groomed, long hair, like well-maintained, thick, stretched earlobes, communicate patience and the ability to finesse your way through difficult, potentially uncomfortable situations in service of a larger, long term goal. Unfortunately, you can be very patient at becoming an asshole as well as becoming a decent, well rounded person. Facial hair doesn’t make you cool. Being a cool person makes you cool.

      As an enby I respectfully disagree. I personally don’t enjoy the stage of facial hair where it looks like crap but I like beards and if I could make it past that stage without chopping it off I think I would very much enjoy letting it grow.

      Very good suggestion though.

          I’m not a woman and wasn’t claiming to be. People can be only partially female I think there’s labels like demigirl and genderfluid which are relatively common and can fit the partially/sometimes female if you want to do further research. (Also Sometimes I do feel rather fem myself)

          So enbies can be “women lite” but it’s an umbrella term for anyone that isn’t just (not meant in a negative way) male/female.

          The problem here seems to arise from the assumption that non male people would be women.

      I think you have to expand to a wider topic. I and many other women really appreciate and like beards.

      I know someone who has given up on figuring out what their gender is. They’ll happily accept any pronouns but hear “she/her” most often due to their appearance. She wants a beard so bad, and already grows a tiny mustache.

      So basically your 10 minutes were for naught

        Tell them to watch some YouTube videos on growing facial hair with the use of minoxidil. The foam kind is best.

      as a man I hate facial hair, so there must be a woman who loves it, for balance

      I’m very glad for my eyebrows and eyelashes, and there’s that Sikh woman (relevant because of the religious ban on cutting hair) whose wedding picture went viral like a decade ago. She had a pretty full beard and had styled it beautifully with small flowers woven into it.

      I would really love to have a beard. I have joked that I am clearly wishing I were a dwarven woman, because besides this, I am very happy with my assigned gender at birth

      I also have a friend who, due to hormonal stuff, naturally grows an extremely thick and impressive beard and wishes that they didn’t have to shave it (if they don’t, they get hate crimed :( )

        Some of us were doing facial hair before it was cool…

        … And some of us started going bald in their teens and wanted beards to help cover up double chins and a tiny mouth but did enjoy a brief period of looking like white Jesus before that happened 🧔‍♀️

          Personally I come from a long line of hairy fuckers. Clean shaven is not an option because it literally grows back in less than a day. Plus I like the beard had it for decades.

          As hairy as my face is, I’m thankful I didn’t get the hairy back gene. My legs, chest and ass though, I’m kind of like a satyr without hooves.

        Yep. It’s always ‘in’ in many parts of the world but I only know about the West.
