Thanks! I wasn't sure how understandable the beard thing would be to people. Even I didn't foresee it being the scariest part, before I started this latest leg of my journey.
That shaving the beard is scary makes sense to me. As we talked about briefly in email a while back, the beard is what confused me about your gender identity for a long time, and since identity is obviously very important, the beard must also have a strong pull or you would have eliminated that apparent dissonance by now.
I first met you in the mid-80s, I think. I've never known you to *not* have that big beard. It's part of you.
But when you're ready, it can also be part of your history.
