The Hirsute Community / Bearded Ladies - Women creating Identity and Community from their Facial Hair

[multiverse]

As someone with PCOS, I can confirm that this is true. As I lost weight, I noticed that I had less spots on my arms (the only visual symptom I had), and eventually they went away completely. It's not a surprise to me at all that most of the women in the OP are obese because of this. I assume that the heavier the woman, the more hair that will grow, and those who don't even care enough to lose weight wouldn't shave that shit anyway because of laziness or just not caring.

PCOS causes insulin resistance, which in turn causes the patient to have a slightly lower metabolism than another woman of the same size; roughly a TDEE of 50-100 calories less.

One can see how this could turn into a weight gain of 10-20 lbs easily over the course of a couple years. However, all it takes is being mindful about not burning as many calories, and cutting out one snack or a few bites of food per day in order to maintain a regular body weight. It's not the impossible task most fats would have you think.

Being fat in and of itself can cause PCOS, because excess body fat acts as an endocrine organ and excretes estrogen, as others have mentioned. So because fat women who develop PCOS already overeat, they're now in an ouroboros of weight gain. They are already eating more than most women of their size, plus burning calories more slowly.

The hair growth, well, that happens to most people with the condition. You can take hormonal birth control nonstop (no week off for a period) to help control the hormone surges and cysts from developing. This will also help reduce the hair growth. If you're unlucky enough to have dark hair, shaving or waxing is gonna be your only option. A lot of hairy women without PCOS live like this.

The subjects of this thread are being gross to get attention. There's literally no reason to self flagellate and make yourself as unattractive as possible, then complain about it while preening like it makes you special.

As you said, making careful and conscious choices about what you eat and the amount of activity you get in a day is crucial for anyone to remain at a healthy weight. When not medicated, those with PCOS very easily fall into the "ouroboros of weight gain", and they just become, for lack of a better term, fucked. Especially since PCOS can cause depression or symptoms that are very similar to it, which could then lead to "stress eating", and once they gain more weight, they are more depressed, carrying on the cycle.

I assume that most of the women in the OP are very depressed and seem to "go hard or go home", by letting themselves become not only obese, but hairy beyond comprehension. It is exactly as you said - they are looking for attention by making themselves look like carnival freaks, which seems really bleak once I think about it more

I find shaving to be annoying, and don't have to do it to my ass and chest. It really sucks to be them.

Showering, brushing teeth, shaving, there's a whole laundry list of things every decent person does to stay social, including the laundry. Sure, shaving is your choice to do or not do, but you've got no one else to blame but yourself if people find it repugnant. Same as with every other daily routine we do because we're not living in caves anymore or eating ticks off each other's hair.

if the fat ones pulled screaming faces in photos they could easily pass for soy boys/impending troons
then again, why would you want to do that?

You know she'd probably look pretty fucking stunning without the beard and shit

 

[W00K #17]

Theres a lady (I think?) who works at a gas station near me who has a similar thing going on. I honestly go there less often because of it, like you dont want to stare, but also it's hard af to avoid staring and not look like you're trying to avoid staring at the same time.

Like I know your eyes are up there, but how am I not supposed to stare at your chin when you look like fucking trans Hagrid.

She has way better Beard genetics than he did.

Being a bearded lady is a bit weird, but not lolcowish. Excess hair just makes it harder to keep clean, so unsurprisingly, most women choose to shave it.

If someone makes it the cornerstone of their identity, though, that's definitely getting into cow territory. I lol'd at the "your Halloween costume appropriates my culture" thing.

 

[BoingBoingBoi]

just think of how the beards must smell on these carpet-munching dykes.

 

[Troutsmacked]

Holy Hell. That's just nasty.

Hey look TJ finally cut his beard.

If excess hair makes it harder to keep clean, why don't more men shave everything (especially since they almost always have significantly more)? The reason most women shave is because that's our cultural norm for women.

I KNEW she was familiar

Looking at their photos makes me percieve some kind of very odd smell.

dont swimmers shave, though? plus there are plenty of guys that shave, it's just trendy to have a beard right now. most dudes that grow them out don't really care for their beards, though, so it just looks like a scraggly mess.

Honestly, though, I think that more men should shave their legs. I think everyone should, it just feels cleaner and nicer to be clean shaven. Maybe that's just me, though

Most Western guys shave their face, sure, but outside of swimmers and drag queens, men don't shave their legs. Are you gay or something?

Can someone settle the chicken or the egg on obesity and PCOS for me? Any woman I've ever known who was overweight or obese has PCOS. This has always made me think that woman have PCOS because they are obese, but the OP makes me think I have it backwards and you get obese because you have PCOS.

OP is right, you get obese much more easily if you have PCOS, and someone who doesn't have it won't acquire it just by getting obese. That said I think the diagnosis causes a lot of girls to give up and go HAAS.
