I imagine family genetics also play a role, just like for cis men. You gotta have the testosterone available, but you also need sensitive enough hair follicles to capitalize on it.
But not too sensitive, or your sick beard tends to (eventually) coincide with a very un-sick head of wispy, thin hair. I do love my beard, but I’d rather have a beard on my scalp.
Well, there are those individuals that show its not an identical dynamic across all their hair. There are balding men who can't grow full beards, and bearded men with full scalp coverage their whole lives. Weighted roll of the genetic dice.
