so. been looking at getting, i believe it was the one touch, for slowly working on handirs i can reach... starting with body/leg/arms/etc for practice first. as laser and electrolysis is kinda out of my immediate price range. however i have relatively ample time to devote to it (for reference i once plucked the entirety of my face, arms, legs, and pubic area over the course of a month ... till i realized it Was growing back in fster than i was plucking. anyways. how effective could/can it be even pre-hrt.

Hair removal is a long, slow process. The folks at E3000 tell me even some straight guys come to them to get rid of facial hair. It's going to take a long time doing it yourself.

I have done DIY electrolysis with the one touch system. I worked/works fine for me, but the fact of the matter is many hairs are at such an angle that I couldn't competently remove them. It's also quite slow. 95% of my hair removal has been though professional services, both laser and electrolysis.

we'll it looks like ive got about 6-9 months still before i can start hrt, and im waiting till i start that to get professional electrolysis done on my face and hard to reach areas, i had everything on my legs and arms waxed, and my one-touch has been ordered and will be arriving in about a week. lets see if i can try to keep up with stuff as it grows back in maybe. ill have bout 10 hours per week for using it. then after end of january like. 20-30/wk to practice and mess around with it. see if i can get good enough. anyways.

i figure i can prolly have almost 750 hours with the one-touch, before i even start hrt. practice with it and kill off what hairs i can. im usually pretty good with small delicate details. used to paint miniature models, and i do embroydery. and alot of small detail work in the past.

even if the 750 hours... or by the end of 1yr of hrt. will be up closer to 2000 hours maybe by my calculations?

we'll see what happens. got alot of things going on i gotta work on first. need to pay off grandparents. asap =.= hopefully one of these interviews this coming week will get me a 2nd source of income. even if its only a seasonal temp spot.

      @Abigail Genevieve, that is not an appropriate question, IMO.  This isn't the Army/McCarthy hearings.   Carolyn Marie

      Don't think Americans would go for the "compulsory" part. We kind of like not being told what to do ... Amazingly, there is great pushback on voter ID laws. The opponents say it discourages voting, especially among the poor and minorities. That is really a smokescreen IMO for those who want to harvest ballots from as many places as possible, including folks who don't exist or don't hold citizenship...

      Pretty soon I think I might be ready to talk about gender-affirming care for kids, possibly w/r/t the Cass Review and its shortcomings.

      She was a beautiful young woman ...   "What we do know is that the offender was a very violent individual and should not have been on our streets.”  Whether gender related or not, the mental health and incarceration issues in our country are incredibly bad and need to be addressed.

      April,   I'm glad my entries are interesting to you.  TransCentralPA is a great organization with so many caring people.  I would strongly recommend you find a way to attend the Keystone Conference.  I guarantee you'll find it an amazing experience.     Hugs,   Sally

      Dear @Sally Stone.  I think you should author a memoir based on these posts (maybe you're already working towards that?).  You could decide at a later time if/when you might want to publish.   I appreciate you sharing your deep connection with your friend Willa (and I am sorry for your loss) and the benefit of having a Trans friend and mentor in our Life and Journey.  I was fortunate to have found one also in our TGP friend @Kasumi63.   As you know we share many common Life themes in our stories.  Drop me a PM if you'd like to chat about it.  Looking forward to the next 'chapter'.

      Voting is compulsory here, for better or worse. Would doing the same in the US snap people out of their apathy?
    • Abigail Genevieve
      I am noting you use CRT terminology.  The comment is not out of the blue.  Some of your remarks on religion suggest atheism.  So it is believable that you are a Marxist, knowingly or not.  Are you?

      Congrats to your family on the new addition!

      Funny you think that I would be able to get through more than two sentences with how bad my stutter gets (joking, of course)   My topic would probably be mythology, random Japan factoids in my mind, or a favorite story   (Best option would be a fave story of mine including a lot of factoids on Japanese myths-)

      Congratulations @ivy. Nothing beats a family growing two feet at a time!

      I read each of your entries and learn so much. Thank you, especially, for the TransCentralPA info. I have been looking fora group and activities where I could express myself safely and with support. I missed this year's conference but next year might be possible and I am going to look at their other events, too.
