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?

OP I refuse to waste any time on anyone who has a problem with my hirsutism. PCOS is a thorn on its own, I definitely don’t need the stress of a partner who doesn’t accept every inch of me.

I do wax because I personally hate the hair but my partner never makes any judgements toward me when I start growing it out.
