I think it's just a brain thing: we see beard, we think male. That's what makes it seem more effective. I could put a fake beard, take a closeup selfie, and I guess I could pass for a big-eyed male. EDIT: yep. Just tried myself with a beard-adding photo filter. I looked like a metal singer from the '90s. Shit, I'm a cute man.

That's true, but it changes everything. The beard isn't necessary.

No, it doesn't really change anything at all visually. All it does is give them a beard. And our brain is tricked because beard = man. They simply add breast-chopping. Try to remove the beard and add boobs to transmen, and you'll discover they're women. Add boobs and remove beard to men, and usually they still look like men.

Actual trans men get full-blown skeletal rebuilds, which can't be undone even if desired. But most "trans boys" are girls who have snowflake syndrome or internalized misogyny, who never touched a hormone.

LMFAO!!!!!! Oh dear sometimes I forget many users here are exactly the same as the unhinged TRAs. Yes, yes buddy, sure, that's how the human body works: you take hormones and magically your SKELETON is rebuilt. You never took a single biology class, eh? By the way, if I take a lot of vitamin C, my body starts rewiring as a lemon fruit. It's true.

It doesn't happen for MtFs, only FtM

Ah yes, because biology works entirely differently in that case. Nutcase.

It's because male hormones cause a lot more irreversible changes. Female is mostly the original state of the human, it has to be changed to become male. So FtM is merely starting this process, whereas MtF is trying to undo it.

Ok, on a biological stand point, that much is true. Transmen however are still women with beards. If they don't have breasts either, you think they're men. That's it.

That seems like a bit of a stretch to me. For almost all intents and purposes except fertility, a fully transitioned FtM is a male. Sadly the same cannot be said about MtFs, which is why I'm doomed. I suppose I should at least take what I can get.
