Woman’s Beard Makes Her Feel Sexy

A woman with excess facial hair has ditched her razors and grown a full beard – and claims she’s never felt sexier. Rose Geil, 39, first noticed her excess hair when she was just 13 and started shaving immediately. The devastated teenager, from Oregon, America, quickly realised she would have to shave every day to keep the stubble at bay. But after years of shaving, plucking and expensive laser removal procedures, Rose has now decided to accept her whiskers – and couldn’t be happier.

In fairness, it's a pretty solid beard.

Okay I know this is about her appearance and acceptance but let’s take a minute to listen to her lovely soft and beautiful voice.

It's sooo refreshing to see someone who doesn't care about people's opinion and just live his/her life ♥

[TT-zjiy]

I couldn't imagine going through that. She seems like such a sweet person

[zoegoodall]

Ok but just imagine how easy her transition would be if she was transgender....

Personally I'll be honest I would have to get some help as I would not want a beard as a woman, but I like how she doesn't let it affect her self confidence or let anyone else make her feel insecure and embarrassed, that's being comfortable with who you are, and we all need to be more like that.

Man...you gotta admit she looks good for over 40 though 😂😳😳

[AbigaleKirsten]

I need a friend like her. I myself have facial hair that I’m scared to show others. I need a spoon of self acceptance

[hiraeth]

No offence, but at first glance she really does look like a man until you see the titles.

[rania]

this makes my few hairs on my upper lip, which are barely noticeable, feel like nothing

[YviefromtheUK]

She looks male in her stature. Is that a hormone imbalance? I’m not being salty I’m trying understand what the possible cause is.

[Philo_Fanous]

You people are hating because she could grow a better beard than you

[Attosegundos]

She's just lovely. I wish her a very happy life from now!

[valemiaomuu]

I also have Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, and I know how frustrating is to shave and to see that your hair has already grown the next day. You go girl, you've taken a path that I will never have the courage to follow.

*"she has a better beard than my husband does"* wow... that must hurt. 😆😆😆😆😆 (ps: joking aside, its great she is finally able to be happy!)

[melissabgz]

She's very soft, feminine and confident even with her "beard" ...but guess what women come in all shapes and types and colors, that is just amazingly beautiful ❤️❤️

[humdinger]

I went to school with Rose.. She was always the kindest, sweetest, genuine person and everyone I knew loved her for it. I'm glad to see that she's comfortable in her skin now.
You are a amazing person Rose and you have an amazing beard.

[zainalex]

She’s so strong, courageous and has reached a level of maturity that most people die without ever knowing.

[perfectfae]

I'm not understanding the negativity. Who exactly is she hurting? All she's doing is being herself. Isn't that what we all should do? She is inspirational because of her bravery & she seems really sweet. There's something very wrong with society if they have a problem with this & feel the need to make fun of her...Sad! Stay jealous of this woman's bravery. You wish you had half of it! The men who are hating are probably pissed they can't grow a beard.

[peps]

She has more testosterone than I do...
