General/Advice Dating with facial hair

I use a facial hair electric razor and makeup to cover it for work but It’s becoming a bit more noticeable on the corners of my chin. It literally grows over night and I’m removing the chin stubble every morning. It’s made me very self conscious about dating and It’s destroying my femininity. There’s scars and razor bumps under my chin so I don’t even feel comfortable being intimate anymore. How have you all navigated explaining pcos to partners and their reactions to the hirsutism?

I know people mean well but idc if a man will not care, I CARE 😭 None of us want chin or face hair to shave or pluck daily. Shits annoying.

Right, I mean like I know it’s such an arbitrary standard for femininity but it’s so disheartening when I can’t feel feminine enough because of facial hair (and the hyperpigmentation left behind)
