You are different. Freak is a judgment. Others make the judgment. Do you accept the judgment? Do you buy into it? Does the judgment run you? See, this is what you have in common with the men on this site--we all are different. Granted, we are choosing to be different, and yours is body-produced, but we all, then, have to decide what to do with the social judgments.
Apart from that, have investigated with a supportive physician what is going on in your body? Does facial hair run in the female side of your family?

Post a Picture and let us see. Many women have facial hair. Just shave it off or consult a doctor about permanent hair removal.

It's hard for me to imagine that with you being female that you would want to keep it that way (maybe I'm wrong), but obviously shaving has a tendency to make it thicker as it grows back, so check your doctor on any options to permanently remove this hair, that is unless you like it this way. GOOD LUCK and GOD BLESS!!!!!

Many people are cruel enough to laugh at anybody who is different to what they in their (very) small world expect, especially if there is a gender aspect to that difference. Because they don't expect to see a woman with a beard, they find you alarming and that's whay they react as they do. It's their own inadequacies which are at fault. Many of us long haired men get similar adverse reactions from time to time, although we also get very positive reactions too.
The difference is that we have chosen to have long hair, although nature has dictated how fast it grows, whether curly or straight and so on. Your beard has been wished on you by nature. The important question is whether you want to have a beard or not. If not, there are ways in which it can be removed permanently or on a regular basis. If you do want to keep it, then you will still get adverse comments, but better people will respect your choice and there may even be others who find it attractive. I saw a site once which showed that a significant number of men find women with hairy legs sexy, but it said nothing that I can recall about beards.
Good luck and please report progress to us.
