J'aime lire le francais ici! There are so many great expressions in French, maybe because they're "foreign" to us "tetes-carrees" :-).

Thanks for your cheerleading Vicey!

Brenda sweety,

I had no idea that you spoke french! Bravo Cherie! Hihihi!

So girls, is it therefore possible for Lucky to do Laser for her beard? I told her that for the legs its just TOO damn expensive, but I can always lend her my painful hair ripping machine MOUAHAHAH!

As for percoset Kathryn, i think ill just buy EMLA, its OTC here :)

I dunno about Laser, but i know for electrolysis you need to buy *time* here, so they have plans for say 2hrs, and they just take time off your card as you use it up... you don't need to pay everytime... so something like eyebrows, which takes say, 10 mins, could only take a full hour in the 5 sessions you may need to clear it completely... its not that expensive for that part of the face...

LEGS on the other hand take something like an hour PER leg PER session.. a friend who did it told me it cost her 2000$ for her two legs... ill keep using my 30$ machine thank you!

again... *il faut souffrir pour être belle!*

xoxo

It's totally possible for Lucky to get laser done on her beard. Mine took 8 sessions before my tech said "No more laser for you, from here on out we'll do electrolysis to get the white/grey hairs and whatever few dark hairs that are left. I dunno how good Lucky is with pain. Laser hurts, even with the cream on. Granted I think it will hurt more without the cream. I have heard if you do laser after you've started HRT it kinda hurts more because your skin is more sensitive and softer from the estrogen. I got all my sessions in before HRT and I muscled through the pain.

I was talking to my Gender Therapist about electrolysis and found out she was a licensed Hypnotherapist and she is going to record a hynotherapy session for me with a trigger to numb my face to pain. I go back in two weeks to see her and I'll be able to keep it on my iPhone.

On another bright note, today my face looks like a train wreck from yesterdays electrolysis. I had some stops to make after my appointment and didn't go right home and put ice on my face. I'm paying for it today. I've had a couple people comment on it.

And if that wasn't the only thing I've had to deal with today, my girls have been sore all week. I arrived at work before I realized that I was wearing a form fitting shirt today for the very last time. I got to work, stopped by the rest room and looked in the mirror and had an OMG moment. That was when I realized that my development was showing. And I've caught a couple people obviously staring at my chest. It has been a long day. Quitting time is taking on a whole new sense of urgency.

Knowing my famial genetics, I may be reaching male fail pretty soon. The woman in my family were blessed by chest development. I suspect I'm not going to need augmentation surgery after all. My daughter is so going to give it to me the next time we get together. Little Miss Eagle Eye will notice.

Sighhhh........ Kathryn having a happy Thursday NOT :banghead:

Ice does feel good on the face afterwards Kathryn. I go to band after electrolysis sometimes and i wonder if others see the redness, gawd this is a long process !

Male fail happens in many ways, hang in there, actually getting kinda tired of hiding the girls and went out for exercise in a form fitting top today it felt great, a few gawkers from cars and guys in trucks, oh well, just smile....

Hi Cindy

I grabbed a half dozen cold packs after work today that one of the labs was tossing out. They receive reagents and they are shipped cold. I'm going to take them with me on the electrolysis days so I can ice down my face. My face is a little better today. KJ

Yeah cold packs work nice too and less messy then ice cubes in a baggy.

Glad your skin is feeling better Kathryn, just in time for the next cook off ;-)

      I have read some of it, mostly in areas specifically targeted at the LGBTQ+ peoples.   You also have to take into account what and who is behind the words, not just the words themselves. Together that creates context, right? Let's take some examples, under the Department of Health & Human Services section:   "Radical actors inside and outside government are promoting harmful identity politics that replaces biological sex with subjective notions of “gender identity” and bases a person’s worth on his or her race, sex, or other identities. This destructive dogma, under the guise of “equity,” threatens American’s fundamental liberties as well as the health and well-being of children and adults alike."   or   "Families comprised of a married mother, father, and their children are the foundation of a well-ordered nation and healthy society. Unfortunately, family policies and programs under President Biden’s HHS are fraught with agenda items focusing on “LGBTQ+ equity,” subsidizing single-motherhood, disincentivizing work, and penalizing marriage. These policies should be repealed and replaced by policies that support the formation of stable, married, nuclear families."   From a wording perspective, who doesn't want to protect the health and well-being of Americans or think that families aren't good for America? But let's take a look at the author, Roger Severino. He's well-quoted to be against LGBTQ+ anything, has standard christian nationalist views, supports conversion therapy, etc.   So when he uses words like "threatens the health and well-being of children and adults alike" it's not about actual health, it's about enforcing cis-gendered ideology because he (and the rest of the Heritage Foundation) believe LGBTQ+ people and communities are harmful. Or when he invokes the family through the lens of, let's just say dog whistles including the "penalization of marriage" (how and where?!), he idealizes families involving marriage of a "biological male to a biological female" and associates LGBTQ+ family equity as something unhealthy.   Who are the radical actors? Who is telling people to be trans, gay, or queer in general? No one. The idea that there can be any sort of equity between LGBTQ+ people and "normal" cis people is abhorrent to the author, so the loaded language of radical/destructive/guise/threaten are used. Families that he believes are "good" are stable/well-ordered/healthy, specifically married/nuclear ones.   Start looking into intersectionality of oppression of non-privileged groups and how that affects the concept of the family and you will understand that these platitudes are thinly veiled wrappers for christian nationalist ideology.   What's wrong with equity for queer families, to allow them full rights as parents, who are bringing up smart and able children? Or single mothers who are working three jobs to get food on plates?

      Well yesterday didn't work like I wanted to. I met a guy and started talking and he was wanting to be in a relationship. I asked my kids on how they thought of me dating a man and they said gross and said no. I guess it's time to look for women. I think that is going to be harder. Oh well I guess.

      This topic reminds me of the lyrics to the Beatles song, "A Little Help From My Friends."   "What do you see when you turn out the lights?"   "I can't tell you but I know it's mine."   Carolyn Marie

      @Ivy have you read the actual document?   Has anyone else out there read it?
    • Abigail Genevieve
      I am reading the Project 2025 document https://www.project2025.org/policy/   This will take some time.  I read the forward and I want to read it again later.   I read some criticism of it outside here and I will be looking for it in the light of what has been posted here and there.  Some of the criticism is bosh.   @MaeBe have you read the actual document?

      Old topic, but I gotta say my favorites are: "Stop hitting on minors" (doesn't work if you're holder tho) and "Sure as [squid] not you"
    • Carolyn Marie
      Abigail, I think we will just leave the other posts where they are, and the discussion can start anew here.  It is possible to do what you ask, but would disrupt the flow of the discussion in the other thread, and would require more work than it's worth.   Carolyn Marie

      I am in too good a mood to earn my certificate today. I am sure something will happen that will put me on the path to earning it.

      It's likely most cis-women consider a fitting unnecessary "because they know what  they wear" and get used to the wrong size.  The instructions for what your size is are simple and why go to any further effort?  You measure your bandsize and you measure your max and subtract the two to get the needed info for the cup size.  Then you buy the same size for years until it hurts or something.

      Congratulations Lorelei! Yes, it is a powerful feeling to have the documents that say "you are you".
