It's funny, but I get a lot of confidence from my beard, too. Many many years ago (high school), I played an inspector in a play, and I needed a mustache and beard for it. How liberating and empowering it felt! And even now, it still does. I wish more of us knew what a marvelous toy gender can be.

Absolutely that!! The beard and the packing just trip me straight across into a differently gendered version of myself and one that I love!

I literally have never met a man who doesn't look better with a beard. Just imagine Santa clean shaven - yikes. 🎅

Thanks Caroline, I love the pics of your performance and, of course, I also love the song! I never realized how sing-able it is but as soon as you began I was singing along with you. It's interesting that you get immediate confidence from the beard. While I've never tried a beard I get a sense of elevated confidence wearing boots. Also I love your term neuro-spicy!

Ah thanks! I pinched neurospicy, we use it a lot in UK. And yeah, I can understand how your boots transform you!
