                                                Bearded since: 1997. I am a dedicated, permanent beard grower. 
 
Comments: 
Why did I grow my beard? It makes me look thinner and distinguishes me as a man despite growing up with a girl's name. 
 
How do I feel about my beard/ Looks a little thin, but I like the gray and white in it.
