With all due respect, how would you know if you were being denied assignments because of facial hair? Many assignors aren't going to admit to a bias. As a member of a minority group, I'm sure that I've been discriminated against, but I never can prove it. It's always too subtle and the person can always come up with other reasons for his actions.
You said it yourself, "Full beards are discouraged." If they are discouraged, you can bet that someone is acting on that bias. Just because you aren't aware of it, doesn't mean that no one is acting on that bias.
