I did something kind of stupid

So I have been unfortunately cursed with stupid amounts of body hair and yesterday I tried to shave my chest and abdomen (albeit poorly), it made me feel mentaly happy but physicaly uncomfortable because of all the little stubblies pulling on my shirt fabric. :/ I still feel happy about it but it's such a mixed feeling of comfort and discomfort.

Ah yes, that stubble regrowth can be really uncomfortable at times x_____x But it is a very nice feeling getting rid of the hair :3.

A quick google offers little, but that it may be worthwhile getting an undershirt.

I want to let you in on a secret :)

The more you shave, the easier it gets. Over time, you will finding yourself shaving less and less because your hair will not grow back as fast. Keep on top of shaving. You will know what I mean.

Love.

my hair is still too thick to have most of the time so I know how you feel... the last time I shaved my legs was over two months ago and I am still dealing with bad ingrown hairs and red spots all over my legs though I dont seem to have that problem on my chest. So right now I just wear jeans all the time.

P.S. have you tried veet? it seems to be a bit better than shaving for me but it only works well on my arms for some reason... sigh hair its the bane of my existence lol. Hope you find something that works... I recently picked up a sensepil ipl machine but still havent gotten a chance to really give it a shot Im hoping to write a review for it at some point.

Hey all! So thanks for all the tips it was totally a "I am passionatly angry" sort of thing with an electric clipper. I also have 'shudder' back hair, and no idea how to safely remove it myself.

I heard waxing works better,

Not that i would or will ever know, I can take a lot of pain but waxing........no. Though I knew a lot of women who did and in more painful places to boot. There is also sugaring and buffing and if your skin is not sensitive some hair removal products for short term.

Whatever you decide I wish you all the best with it, One of the joys of my life now is not shaving below the neck anymore.:D

I so love Estrogen HRT. Today was the first time shaving my chest and abdomen in two months. Because I wear an insulin pump and the plastic canulas have stick on tape, for years I had to remove body hair so the tape would stick and it would come off without pulling hair. Now my body hair is almost non existent or very, very thin. And body hair grows really slow.

Too bad it doesn't work on facial hair that way. sighhhhh..... I so do not enjoy electrolysis, but I'm in it for the long haul. I'm too blond for laser hair removal. Kathryn

      In my last session my therapist is starting to suggest that I need to start exploring my gender identity in a more tangible way through wearing feminine clothing at least during sessions.  I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around her seeing me actually en femme.   I love and trust her, but the thought of being visibly feminine is scaring (and thrilling) me.  Is this a common thing in gender therapy?  How do I get past the fear?  More importantly, what should I wear?

      USA doctors denounce Cass Report, support trans folks.  The Endocrine Society And American Academy Of Pediatrics Respond To Cass, Reject Bans. In recent weeks, the Cass Review out of the United Kingdom has been used to argue for bans on care.

      Congratulations on your new family member!

      I felt the urge to date and felt just like a teenager again. I have recorded my journal titled Ashley's Life From Start to Present. I was very moody and agitated and happy. I think it was my body's way of being in shock. After about two months it got better. Remember that you aren't the only one transitioning because your wife is too. Consider yourself lucky because I lost mine because of it and so have many others. Just enjoy the ride.

      I'm sorry for asking so many questions about your situation. I'm in your camp and believe you should be able to be whoever you feel you need to be. I guess it the Union Shop Stewart coming out in me. I want you to be treated fairly as well as respectably. You're human, you're a client of theirs. Especially if you're paying money to be there.   Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      I'm not sure the time frame.

      Views, terminology, and aspects of how events came to be....aren't those directly related to the news item?  If not, I'm rather confused.

      Second warning, this has gotten far and apart from the NEWS item that it started out with and is becoming a flat out battleground over political leanings and terminology.

      Welcome to Lefty Land.... a festive theme park full of sparkles and unicorns, a perfect place except for one evil orange dragon wearing a blond wig.    I'm always amazed at the "flexibility" of definitions.  One person's f@scist seems like a centrist to others.  One person's "moderate" looks to others like the 2nd coming of Fidel Castro.  A normal marriage a century or two ago is now a criminal offense, and relationships that used to be a criminal offense are now open, normal marriages.  Pedophiles now want to be called "minor attracted persons" and teenagers are now defined as children.  A Republican in NY or CA would be a Democrat just about anywhere else.  I'm certainly no advocate for relativism, these are just observations.    What I find interesting about this Australian candidate is the attitude that he shouldn't be allowed to run for office.  Why?  Just because his views are different, or even offensive?  Who makes that determination?  Can an election really be open and fair if it is barred to candidates who are not "politically correct?"  Here in the USA, we can openly have candidates who are f@scist or any other thing they want to be, no real restrictions aside from eligibility requirements related to age, location, citizenship, and criminal record.

      @Birdie You certainly have more patience than I do.  I don't take it well if I get scolded.  Either I sulk or I get nippish.    We had a good Mother's Day here yesterday.  Quite an event, since 4 of my partners are mothers.  GF enjoys it a lot, because she's very (excessively?) proud of having produced her 5 kids.  Her eldest starts school this fall.  Amazing how time flies...
