This woman has grown out her beard, and has never been happier

An Oregon woman discovered the hairiest secret yet to self-confidence: growing her beard out.

Rose Geil, 39, spent her teen years trying to bust her beard, shaving her stubbly mug every day.

“It was exhausting trying to keep it hidden,” she said.

At one point, her mom took her to the doctor, who put her on birth control in an effort to stabilize hormones that may be triggering the hair growth.

She even invested in laser removal procedures, which can cost thousands of dollars to zap out the hairs, but her whiskers just kept coming back.

“I was emotionally drained from trying to hide my beard every day and feeling like I was failing miserably,” Geil said.

But about eight months ago, she ditched her razor — and sported a large beard in just six weeks.

“I definitely feel womanly, sexy and sensuous,” she told Barcroft Media. “I feel more feminine and it has very little to do with my appearance, it comes from my attitude and giving myself the freedom to be who I am.”

“People on the street do look at me and do a double take, but their reactions are either positive or neutral,” she said. “I have had people approach me in public and wanted to meet me and shake my hand and tell me I’m brave and courageous and even an inspiration.”

Now, she opts to wear low-cut shirts that show off her shaggy chest and has been hitting it off with men, who have tried to propose and sent her sexual pics.

“I feel pretty with my beard and I never felt pretty before,” Geil said. “Growing my beard has made me more confident.”

Hirsutism
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hirsutism is the excessive hairiness[1] on women[2] in those parts of the body where terminal hair normally is absent or minimal, such as a beard or chest hair. It refers to a male pattern of body hair (androgenic hair) and it is therefore primarily of cosmetic and psychological concern. Akin to the modern day hypertrichosis (werewolf syndrome) or the historical figure wild man. Hirsutism is a medical sign rather than a disease and may be a sign of a more serious medical condition, especially if it develops well after puberty. The amount and location of the hair is measured by a Ferriman-Gallwey score.

apparently not that unusual,but can also be a Sign of Medical Problems.

Assuming she has XX chromosomes - props to her for accepting herself, embracing self determination, rejecting the judgement of others and taking responsibility for her own happiness.

But if she has XY chromosomes... WTF? There isn't anything to this story except a wierdo that 'identifies as a woman' but actually wants to straddle the line seeking attention and affirmation. Oh, wow, so brave of her to call herself female while wearing a dress and facial hair /s
