So I'm finally getting off my butt and getting the fuzzy ball rolling and I have a consultation at Ideal Image tomorrow at 2p where I'll meet the staff, see the place, find out pricing and get an estimate about how many treatments I'll need and find out more about their March Madness sale!

..how laser hair removal ties into basketball I have no idea but it's their marketing strategy, I'm just here to get a good deal.

Don't you see the obvious tie in - have you ever seen a hairy basketball?

Take advantage of any sale no matter how stupid the marketing may be.

Love ya,

Atta girl, Lizzie!

You're gonna love it...the results, not the procedure. :P

Laser and electro is the one place where we still need to call upon our male stoicism to get us through.

DANG, it really does sting (or burn).

But you know what, I've only had two of six or seven sessions, and I've already noticed a great reduction in

the density of hair all over my face. After shaving now, my face feels really SMOOTH, and my five o'clock

shadow has been deferred to about eight o'clock. YAY!

Good luck, hon. Have fun!!

If you have a pale complexion and dark hair laser will work wonders.

I've had four sessions so far and my facial hair is significantly reduced. I still have hairs coming out from my fourth session but I expect that after my fifth session I will need to switch over from laser to electrolysis to take care of the hairs that where not quite killed off and instead grew back as fine but not that fine white hairs.

Laser hurts but for only a split second and then it stops hurting. The thing is if you get zapped enough in a short time frame the pain just kind of compounds. The best thing to do is keep breathing. Don't hold your breath or you'll pass pout. When the session is over put some aloe on and it will help keep the skin from drying up after the session. By the time you walk out of the building it won't hurt anymore but you'll have a week where the hairs are very dark and pronounced and feel like brush bristles stuck in your skin until they finally just fall out.

Well the people at Ideal Image quoted me a price of about $6700 for the full treatment and 4 touch ups later if needed.

Or I could pay per session at the low low price of $737.

Or I could get in-house financing and put $683 down and pay $243/month for 24 months (I think?).

They really impressed me with their staff, how clean the place looked, that they have registered nurses on-location (maybe this is a requirement? I don't know). Overall it was nice, clean, organized and calm/soothing.

I have a few other places I need to go to and check out (locally owned places) and I have until the end of this month before I have to make a decision on their offer.

It is a bit of a long drive though. :(

      Trans Group Zoom Meeting Tomorrow!!   It’s almost time for another Zoom Meet-up and I’m sure it’ll be another entertaining time to get together with others from our community. As usual, these meeting can last up to 4 hours or longer. Come when you can and leave whenever you want. The start times are listed below.   If you need a Zoom Link, Message me as soon as possible as I will be gone early all day tomorrow (Sat.). I will PM you a link here before I leave for the day tomorrow. See you all next week.   Have Fun! Susan R🌷   From Zoom Host AllieJ: We had 15 at our last zoom of April, with great discussions as usual. When there are this many people attending, we have to be a little stricter with keeping our talking time short and watching for hands up so everybody can contribute. Best is to use the electronic ‘Raise Hand’ so it is more visible.    Trans Group Zoom Meeting Times: May 4, 2024 6:00 PM Pacific Time May 4, 2024 8:00 PM Central Time May 5, 2024 11:00 AM Australia/Melbourne

      Wow, Birdie, I hope you get better soon.  At least the nurses figured out that you're not their standard patient.  Hopefully they treat you right.     I wish my husband would replace our stoves.  Of course we use propane, being way out of town, but they're old.  They are supposed to use a battery igniter, but one hasn't worked in years.  There's actually a hole sawed in the bottom plate of the oven where I stick a match.  And the other one had some sort of valve problem, and couldn't get the parts.  I was hoping for a new stove, but I got to watch in awe and dismay as my husband made a "something" with a piece cut from a roll of bulk automotive gasket material.  It works, no leaks.  But I swear we don't replace anything here until it is absolutely dead.  With my luck, that will be another 20 years on those stoves.      I don't complain much, but I wish I had some nicer kitchen things.  Nobody understands that if I'm serving dinner for 36 people, cooking on sheetmetal plates or using stuff from a 1980s junkyard is a bit....suboptimal.  When I mention it, I get lengthy apocalyptic tales of the deprived life in Argentina or Mexico or "In Soviet Union, stove cooks you..."  Thanks, GF.  Or maybe I'm just too spoiled?

      I do the best I can to 'Pass' and I think I have become better at feminizing my appearance ... But, I have also come to realize that no matter how much I feel I pass, it's more up to the individual I interact with than with my efforts and appearance. If they are self-aware humans they will see me as I truly am ... and then I will receive a compliment, or a 'Ma'am', or just a friendly smile.  That's all I really need.

      In my case, at almost 9 months, most changes have been very subtle. I was 60 when I started, and overweight. Also, I am not very observant when it comes to changes. In the last 3 months I have been on T blockers and breast growth have definitely started having suffered irregular "ouchies", but at the same time I have been slowly losing fat, so Bust measurements have not changed. What has changed in the density, I can feel a difference. Face wise the skin feels softer, and my lashes seem to be more visible. Head hair regrowth is a maybe- maybe not situation.  I do have to select men's clothing carefully to camouflage the change in breast shape. I guess I'm still at the not passable as a female stage especially with no makeup. I'm also over 6 foot and well over 100kgs which I guess is problematic to start with!   Hope this helps somewhat   Kate .

      I started feminizing HRT about 6-7 weeks ago. I began with what I called the beginner's patch. I immediately found myself wanting to level up to the next dose and did that this week (yay!). So far, I am enjoying the ride.   I've read everything I can find on this topic. For the HRT vets on here, what is reasonable to expect in terms of physical changes for someone starting in their 50s? I know "your mileage may vary." I guess I am curious if I stay on my current trajectory for six months, a year, multiple years, how pronounced will the physical changes be? Will I reach a point where it is totally obvious or will I land in a "middle zone" somewhere in which I could pass either way?   Thanks! Like I said I am enjoying the ride so far and always curious to know others' experiences. Not sure anyone else in my life will be excited about these moves I am making, but I have been over that in many places on here already so need to rehash... Love and blessings to all!   Easy

      Being admitted into the hospital after a long ER visit. I started passing lots of blood and they are keeping me for observation.    Nurse came in to see about a condom catheter, that of course doesn't work on me. 🤣   She said, "I guess we will use incontinence supplies on you."  
    • Ivy
      Yeah.  I think this is what it is about.  Since they are not transgender, nobody else could possibly be either.  I'm not sure that a cisgender person can understand being transgender.  But that hardly means that a transgender person's experience is not real - just because it is not theirs. Why is a transgendered person's experience not valid, while a cisgendered person's is?  Why should it be the cisgendered person that decides? Nobody is forcing a cis person to transition.  What I do for myself is my own business.

      Decided to head for Lowes after work early and bought a new stove.Was in stock and put it back of my truck.Luckily a neighbor of mine whom does appliance repair did come to remove the connection and convert the stove to natural gas in the new one.Was set up for propane.Happy with it and the scrap metal guy came to pick up my old one.He was happy to get it,said he needed one more to make it a load in his trailer full of junk appliances

      I've been thinking it is a matter of belief.  They simply do not believe someone can validly be transgender and should not be allowed to practice their beliefs, but should be forced to practice their belief, that is, that there is no such thing as transgender and it is all mental illness/sin/hormonal imbalance. 
    • KatieSC
      I am really kind of sick of everybody who is not transgender deciding on what we need and do not need in the way of procedures. They act like all of this is play acting, and we can just apply cosmetics to our entire body. It might be refreshing if someone asked us directly what services we need in order to transition. I could say more as I am frustrated, but I do not want to violate the TOS.
