Yeah, hearing a trans man in California complaining a while back about not being able to grow a beard even with testosterone, I was thinking, "dude, if only I could give you mine."

Several years ago I heard about a trans man and a trans woman coincidentally scheduled for bottom surgery at the same time in the same hospital, who even more coincidentally were a good tissue match for each other, and the surgeons were all, "Hey, let's transplant her testes into him, and if it works he won't have to inject T for the rest of his life," but the insurance companies involved said no, that's experimental, thou shalt not. I don't think opportunities like that will come up very often.

I kinda started doing the gradual beard shortening thing, but then I'd not get around to doing maintenance for a while and it would grow out, or it would break (every so often I suddenly get a whole lot of, like split ends but in the middle instead of the end, and a bunch of hairs break off over several days) and suddenly it would be much shorter all at once instead of gradually for a while (and then grow out again...). But what you suggest is still an option.
