Hatshepsut only wore the beard because it was a symbol of the authority of the Pharoah...not because she was cross-dressing.

i'd heard some where that the egyptian rulers never used the word "pharoah" to describe them selves. what word did they use, and why don't scholars use the word that the egyptians rulers would've used to describe them?

It was a fake beard....and as I said, it was a symbol of her being Pharaoh.
