For World Beard Day: On Women with Beards

Today is World Beard Day! Many, I suppose, will be celebrating beards in general, which is all well and good. I think right away of ancient Greeks, men of the 19th century, men of the 1960s and early ’70s, and certain dandyish millennials. But such have never been extraordinary enough to constitute a performing arts category in and of themselves. However, women with beards have. I’ve written…

Wow, this "gender free" fashion brand sure doesn't have any AMAB models.

I think there’s also a conversation to be had about how people think androgyny is waify and thin and wolf cuts and eyeliner. like some people are butch. some people have crew cuts and body hair and tits to the moon. or beards and hourglass figures.

i feel like everyone is all uncomfortable seeing people who are androgynous in a non tiktok kind of way but thats most of the androgyny i know! i know normal people who arent put together 24/7 who are androgynous in sweat pants and sundresses and first thing in the morning. there is more than one way to be androgynous and it isnt always a choice.

The gendering of facial hair does not get talked about enough imo. If you want to pass as a man, one of the most sought-after characteristics is a beard, often BECAUSE of how conclusively it solidifies you as a man. If you to want to pass as a woman, you better remove even baby hairs lest you are deemed having not tried hard enough.

I have never been particularly feminine. I don’t like dresses on me. I only learned how to do more makeup than eyeliner in 2021. I like presenting masculinely. But if I wanna pass as a woman, forget about 5-oclock shadow, if I don’t wear makeup, I’ve got dark stubble showing by noon no matter how closely I shave.

For men with long hair, it’s such a frequent experience that if you get mistaken for a woman, the moment you turn around and reveal a beard, the person corrects themselves because the presence of a beard CLEARLY means a man and not a bearded woman or secret third (or 30th or 152nd) option to everyone.

No matter that men can have long hair without a beard and not be women, and women of both AGABs can and do have facial hair to some degree—with its presence becoming more prevalent when the woman is not white or perisex.

Every woman-adjacent person—cis, trans, or other, who doesn’t shave their facial hair is like a beacon of hope for me that facial hair can be further separated from rigid binaries and association with (only) being a capital M Man.
