You are so lucky. Laser treatment should do wonders. It works only with dark hair, and works better for lighter complex skin. It's a little expensive, but should be less expensive for you in the long run compared to electrolysis (the other form of hair removal).

Not sure I'd call it lucky. Yes, it's great for laser, but you look like you have stubble all over even when you just finish shaving and your skin is smooth enough to prove it, and laser is expensive.

I've used some veet hair remover cream on my chest this seems to have made me really smooth , so might use that where I can and maybe get my back waxed , I think that will hurt though

I had a ton of black body hair.

I allowed the HRT to slow and rid much of the growth.

I shaved and waxed and used products like nair. Waxing only hurts for a few secs if done correctly

I also have an epilator which I've used dozens of times but have not perfected the correct formula of maximum alcohol pain numbing while still being able to function w/the device.

Mostly what I was doing was delaying any expensive hair removal methods for as long as possible. I figure I saved myself a few thousand by not jumping the gun.

Hi all, I have started using the Silk'n flash and go HPL technology at home. It is a home pulsed light device that will (according to mfg) remove hair permantly with repeated use. They say an average body will need 7000-10000 flashes to remove hair permantly. I have just started using it on my untanned parts of body. As I am heading into winter I will lose the melitonan in my skin and I will use this everywhere. It costs around $250-300 USD, and comes with one 1000 flash head. The replacements are around $30-40 each. You do the math! As an more than average build, 6'8" it will take a few more thousand, but hopefully with HRT on the horizon the hair will not come back as much as I have heard this occurs, fingers are crossed. Just so you know it is almost painless, just a little heat but very minor and then tingling for about twelve hours afterward. I have high hopes as this is so much cheaper than electrolysis. If it only works partially then I have a head start at being hairless, what a great thing to look forward to. Just shop around for the best price with combinations of multiple flash heads included. Got mine on Amazon. Yes FDA approved and Canadian FDA approved. http://www.silkn.com/flash-and-go/

      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?

      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.

      Leadership and Management, the differences and similarities between the two as well as the applications of military leadership principles across the spectrum of professions.

      I have read numerous accounts of trans folk no longer being welcome among evangelicals.   I am here for help and fellowship not to rebuke anyone.  I can take a pretty high degree of insult, etc., and you haven't insulted me, to my recollection anyway :) and I usually let it go.  But I thought I would let it all out there.   I am sure I disagree with you on numerous issues.  I appreciate other people's viewpoints, including those who radically disagree with me.  Intellectual challenge is good. One thing I appreciate about @MaeBe.

      Congrats!
