I had my first session for my laser hair removel on my face/neck yesterday, it went really well I thought, but it was pretty painful especially in the neck area and around the jaw line, also right under the nose was really painful at times as well, the more and more I do it the more and more it will become easier and less painful. The support staff there were VERY nice and supportive(they deal with a lot of TG girls who come in), One Woman who I was talking with for awhile(very nice lady) asked about some of my past and about if I were on Hormones yet, I told her not yet I am not but very soon I hope to be, she said that once I am on HRT and once I start to transition more down the road that I could EASILY pass for a Woman and really does not think I need any major FFS surgery, it is always incredible to me when I hear compliments like that(I heard the same from my therapist as well) and really gives me so much encouragement. I just wanted to let you all know about how my first session went and how incredibly happy I am now.

Emily, Sweetheart........

How very wonderful!

It sounds as if it is going smoothly (joke...lol)...

How many treatments will you need?

I'm doing the standard electrolysis because Laser won't work for me...my electrologist is licensed for both and told me that I'd be a poor candidate for laser....poo!

Do the hairs start falling out after a couple of days?

Tell us about it.....OK?

Thanks, Hon...

Love ya,

She said about 3-7 treatments but hard to tell after the first treatment and I will have to see after the next. I was really lucky that it worked out for me with Laser since regular electrolsis is more demanding and from what I hear more painful, and yes the hairs should start falling out within just a couple of days~YAY!!!~

I will keep you up to date with everything though, my next session is I believe June 20'th, it is expensive for the treatments($300) but if it has the results that I am hoping for then it will be WELL worth each and every cent.

I thought laser hurt a lot also

Yes the first session was quite painful, actually I had to stop a few times because it was just too painful but I have noticed already with my first session some noticeable changes to my face and neck areas with hair growth and how *fine* the hairs seem to be. My next appointment is June 20'th which I am very excited about.

My first two laser sessions were not too bad but the 3rd and 4th each time she increased the settings and gee what a difference in the pain level and afterward the redness, but i was pretty much back to normal the next day, Monday will be my 6th session, I'm not real pleased with the results all the dark hairs are gone but i do have some gray hairs, going to start electro on those.

Emily,

I had my first treament yesterday. You are right it does hurt some. They let me use an ice pack periodicly that help out tons. They said it would hurt like a rubber band. I think they should have said like a hot curling iron touching your face. Hopefully things will work out will have to wait and see.

Thanks for sharirng your experience with us.

Hugs,

Dionne

      Good morning All. Coffees on.

      By April Marie · Posted

      Good morning, everyone!!   Yesterday was lawn mower battery day. I've been nursing the battery on my Zero Turn mower for two weeks. It gave up the ghost when I stopped to refuel yesterday so I had to run over to the local shop to get a new one. And forgot my wallet so I had to drive home and back again.   Then, I was using the garden tractor with the bagger to pick up the clippings. I cut about 7 acres so it took me awhile. When I was done, I went to refuel it and, of course, it wouldn't start when I'd finished putting in the gas. I'm hoping it was just some corrosion on the cables - cleaned them up, gave it a quick charge and it started right up. We'll see if it will hold a charge now or turn out like the Zero Turn.   House cleaning day today. And then I'm going to just relax outside for a bit and enjoy one more warm day before our temps drop and rain comes in for the weekend.   Enjoy this beautiful day we've been given!!

      Striking your head against the wall, you can lose 150 calories an hour. Blue color attracts mosquitoes in two times more than any other. Most toilet paper sold for home use in France is pink. In 2014, a missing woman on a vacation in Iceland was found when it was discovered that she was in the search party looking for herself. In 2005, Mark Zuckerberg unsuccessfully tried to sell Facebook for $75 million. Back then it was called TheFacebook. Strawberries can also be white or yellow, and some can even taste like pineapples! The Boston Marathon didn’t allow female runners until 1972. Banks have therapists known as ‘wealth psychologist’ who help ultra-rich clients, who are unable to mentally cope with their immense wealth.

      I attend a medical day-centre in Texas for needed medical services. It's religious oriented, so not gender fluid friendly. I of course dress 100% in female attire yet androgynous to keep both "them happy", and I really don't mind.    I of course am imposed rules that no other participant is bound by. The examples are the allowed size of my backpack, or how many visits per day I can see my Representative payee.  The gender neutral restroom use was a compromise that all off us have agreed to.  Not being able to wear tanks tops or shorts that aren't "Bermuda length" are other examples of where I am restricted more than any other participant. "Bra talk" is strictly forbidden, even though their doctor and occupational therapist were the ones that told me I needed support due to neck pain.    I found myself being reprimanded by staff three times yesterday for very petty details, and they have constantly pushed for me to remove myself from the program voluntarily. I am of course someone not welcomed in the program, but federal discrimination laws prevent them from removing me. They instead are just making life miserable with the hopes that I will leave on my own.

      Do you plan to be active during Pride Month? If so, what type of activities?

      By awkward-yet-sweet · Posted

      Nope.  I live in a rural area.  Pride events are for city folks.  The normally quiet LGBTQ+ club kind of changes atmosphere during that time, and things get a bit political.  As a non-Democrat, I avoid it.

      For me, definitely the size thing.  I'm 5'4" on a good day, and 100lbs.  I can pass as a teenage boy, but never for my real mid-30s age.  And since my husband looks older than his age, I'm often assumed to be his kid.  Or folks think there's something illegal going on.      Also, my lack of the typical aggressive "masculine" demeanor.  I don't really desire the typical masculine social role, nor could I do it even if I tried really hard.  I'm usually quiet and kind of timid.

      My size. A lot of guys aren't 5'3" at seventeen. My hands. It's a less noticeable one, but my hands are very "feminine"? If you know what I mean. My voice. Very high-pitched. I don't just sound like a female, I sound like a little girl sometimes My chest. I've had to stop binding due to frequent aches doing so, and it's not nearly small enough to just cover with baggy clothes My family. They still call me she/her, so that's an automatic out. My anxiety. I might be able to pass better if I had the courage to correct people. Instead, I'm too scared to speak up, so I find it hard. My lack of men's clothes.   Anyone else have these problems, or other ones?

      Wondering if I could pass

      From what I have read and heard most people are so.busy with their everyday lives and either looking at their phones or in a hurry to notice you out and about.
