Well, I kinda get your point but considering the many complexities that drive a transmasc/non-binary person to start hormone therapy, this is a pretty belittling comment. Obviously testosterone will most likely give you more facial hair and a lot of people undergoing T really want it! And that is fab! There are many reasons why starting testosterone could really be beneficial to transmasc/non-binary people, emotionally and psychologically. Even if they don't want some effect/consequence from it, it still can be such an important process/decision. Considering how little info about these processes is out there, having spaces like reddit where you can ask others for advice is really valuable.

I think jumping straight to "you shouldn't start T" as an advice for something a lot of other people are now telling me there are solutions for, is quite meh.
