even when i shave the roots are dark enough to be visible through my skin so you can see where I would have hair (⁠´⁠-⁠﹏⁠-⁠`⁠;⁠)

I shave with specific brands of disposable twin-blade safety razor (Dorco, BIC, whatever gets you closest without cutting the skin) and shave gel. Gel seems to work a lot better than Barbasol cream.

You can also use hair removal cream for touch-ups, though my facial hair is unfortunately a lot tougher than hair removal cream alone can handle.

I hear that epilators (basically like an electric razor that goes a little deeper) work well, at least for body hair, though I haven't tried one yet.

I hear that an epigenetic medication (not HRT) reduces the thickness of non-scalp hair to the genetic level you would have without androgens, but other factors like a history of shaving and your specific ethnicity may reduce the de-hairing effect. Many cis women shave.

i have never heard of epigenetic medication! somefin to look into, same with epilators lol. usually i just shave with one those safety razors that are like single bladed n such, with the ultra macho Creamo™ brand shaving butter, so that everyone knows i'm still cis tho.

I'm still figuring out what a femboy is, and to me it seems to be just a new term for a male or enby-identifying transvestite or girly boy. In my experience as a half-slavic 31-year-old in the rural northwest, when I crossdress nobody knows my gender but everyone assumes I have a dick. I could be trans, it could be performance art, it could be laundry day. (Why the short shorts and mascara? Must be a fag.) All queers are the same to folks outside of this community, so to them your choice of gender matters less than how good you look overall.
