But can you imagine how terribly embarrassing it must be to her? For the rest of her life? I think a little mercy is in order.

Perhaps we need a thread/poll on when its acceptable to seek hormone therapy? (I'm being serious)

Please tell me I am not the only one disturbed by this.
I admired their consistency.

But it seems if men should cut their head hair, trimming their beards is also appropriate.

It's kind of like men growing breasts. Which is not all that unusual any more, just a little easier to hide.

If someone who is male or female has low levels of male or female hormones due to a medical problem, taking those hormones might be a good idea.

I am opposed to male people taking female hormones and vice versa when the person is confused about whether they are male or female.

The women I was thinking of had no church to give "guidance" on facial hair. But yes, mercy is always in order.
