Ow. You know, I never imagined electrolysis hurt until I heard it from da ladies :(

Be a big baby afterwards :D but warn Mrs. DeeJay that you're gonna be beforehand. It works best that way . Women will actually give you coddling and "babying" if you tell em before a given day you're gonna be wanting that ;)

I'd tell you to keep a stiff upper lip, but that is where Lizzy is having work done - you're still working from the ears inward.

Just imagine that I am there hoding your hand - don't squeeze so tight! :o

Love ya,

Sally

DeeJay! I'm so sorry! Does it hurt worse than a tattoo? Have you ever gotten a tattoo?

I wish I could borrow any hair follicles you aren't using. Ouchy! At least all that offensive hair will be gone soon enough. :)

Your strength is an inspiration for all of us. I do hope that you don't have to suffer this too much longer!

Oh, my.....you guys are so wonderful...I guess that's what tear ducts are for...and mine work real good!

Well.....

My appointments are for 9:00 am ...so outa bed and drive 50 miles and lay back down and let the party begin!

I was thinking of outing myself to my electrologist...She is a super sweet lady, 54...looks 44...and is also a registered nurse! So when I got there I just chatted and we went right to work...1 1/2 hour session...45 minutes per side. I didn't want to say anything yet because I wanted a last session if she were to tell me to not come back...

We took short breaks along the way...

When all was done we sat at her desk and I pulled the paper out of my shoulder bag that she wanted me to fill out about my medical history...I had it all done, except on the back was one question..Estrogen Therapy? I put it down and pointed to it...I was shaking so bad that she read the question above it...it had to do with pregnancy....She looked at me funny...,

I said No...no....no...the next one!

She read it and looked at me and with out a blink she said.."Well, your skin will be getting softer, so let me know if I should turn down the power". I told her that I am Transgender and it didn't seem to be anything at all...but, I bet I know what we'll talk about next session...

So going out her front door I shook her hand and held her arm and said .."Thanks for it not making a difference.." She squeezed my hand and said..."See you next Saturday!"

I thought I was going to start crying right there....

So, I did it!

I stopped on the way home and bought a Thank You card and sent it to her........

I feel incredible!

Oh, and I got rid of a whole bunch of hairs!

And, Ains...Hon, I don't have any tattoos..so I really can't say if it hurts worse or not!

Love....

It sounds like you had a really positive experience, despite the general ouchyness of electrolysis. :) It makes me happy to know that there are good, kind people in the world that don't seem to have anything against TG people. I feel...hopeful.

Glad you got rid of some hairs!

Yeah, Donna Jean - losing hair and gaining supporters at the same time - Yeah!

I could not be any happier for you sweetheart, you deserve a good break and now you have three - your wonderful wife, your caring electrolysist and all of us here.

You are one luck, if not slightly sore lady!

Love ya,

Sally

DJ .. my surgeon told me not to have electrolysis in the surgical areas.. it can cause deep tissue scarring apparently which impedes the healing process. laser or ipl on those bits is the recommended course from an NHS surgeon (tim terry)

I am right there with on and literally feel your pain. Just came back from my weekly 2 hour appointment of getting zapped. I hate it but like you I want all this stuff gone and being blonde getting zapped is my only choice. So i will make you a deal. I will be there for you if you will be there for me :D .

good luck with it Donna . I'm going wed. evening. gosh darn. I don't have much.

OMG, doodle.....that's tonight!

Well, get it taken care of and it'll be wonderful when it's all done...you'll love the results.....

Get back and tell us how it went.....OK?

And is this your first visit?

Oh...I forgot to mention my visit last Saturday morning....

Nothing exceptional...1 1/2 hour session...45 minutes per side again....I'm trying to get up the courage to tell her to do the upper lip..I'll be doing it anyway...just when?

But, since I've come out to her (She already knew anyway...big secret...) we now have "girl talk throughout the session and it takes mind off of the zots and makes the time go really fast....we talked, family, clothes, secrets...OHhhh it was so much fun!

So, on again for this Saturday again, but I'll take a break for Memorial Day weekend...and then back the following week!

Dee Jay,

I am so happy for you!

I had a great time talking with my electrologist even after we found out that my skin can't handle electro - she help me with the little RF unit and we still got to talk (I'm going to get a new unit and see if I can get back with her and her post op Girl friend who bakes more than I do and it is not virtual!)

Having a girl to talk to that knows about you and couldn't care less about it is one of the great joys in life.

Love ya,

Sally

Good for you, Sweetie!

I haven't done upper lip yet, I'm a big chicken so far, but, you never know what will happen, do you?

You get it all taken care, Sweetheart...you are on your way to being a knockout!

Love...

      Hi @AmandaJoy Welcome, and nice to meet you! Congratulations on your Self-Affirmation!  As you've already discovered you're in great company here on this Forum.  It took me 60+ years also.   I understand your thrill and desire to proceed full-steam-ahead but that you've already realized to meter your Journey.  So, I will just end with what I tell most new Members when they arrive ... Deep breaths ... One step at a time

      @KymmieL do they have you on anti depressants?  Are they certain they are the right ones for you?  Has a psychiatrist been involved?  My physician first put me on an anti depressant and when things got worse for me he added one that was the initial cause of my cancer.  My therapist recommended I had a different need changed things. My psychiatrist agreed with the particular underlying condition and the choice of medications.   everyone is different but if one medication isn’t working there are many different types and different underlying conditions that require different treatments.  No meds mentioned because what didn’t work and what did all depends on your case, not mine.   Willow

      To me loving myself means having the courage to live the way I want and to be me.     I hardly ever really like how I look but I feel good knowing I am trying to be the best version of myself that I can be. It is definitely a struggle sometimes though.  💗Cynthia

      I had a five hour road trip today.  I’m trying to grow my hair out so I just pushed it back with a pink hair band, lipstick and gloss, no makeup.    White spaghetti strap top, short black skirt, white sandals with pink toenails!  A couple of rings and bracelets, necklace and hoop earrings.   I felt like a hot mess but it’s my favorite way to travel!

      Glad you had a good day, @Willow Mine on the other hand sucked. I have been screwing up again, I even got written up. I may have to educate them on major depression and disability. not that it will work.    OH, well. May be another job I lost because of me. Yes, my depression is about down at the magma level   Kym

      This bag is really working out for me.  I had worn out the back on my yin-yang bag so I picked this one up.  It wasn't long before I cut off the flap on it and braided a hemp strap for it.  The zipper is the best feature.  I can spin the bag around and I'm not afraid of losing anything.  I've taught myself to keep all the essential things in it and nothing more.  Here is what made the cut:   Notepad Sharpie Ballpoint Pen Teaspoon Glasses Phone (most of the time) Wired Headphones and/or Bluetooth Carmex and/or Lipstick Flash Drive Current Braiding Project Wallet Hair Clip   And on my keys I have my one inch Swiss Army Knife with scissors and a bottle opener that I like using with mason jar lids.   I don't miss pockets at all now.  The bag is fun and practical.  I can set it on the ground to get everything off my body.  If I need something, I'm looking for a fairly large object.  I always have something to work on with the braiding project.

      Mine was Hatshepsut, an Egyptian pharaoh who had to carry herself as a male in order to rule. I was completely facinated by her as a student.

      Well it was a good day at work I got everything done I needed to do. My audits came out right and everything.  I had to fix the printer on one pump. It wouldn’t cut the paper and needed two parts replaced.  The District Manager left us Thank you bags,  Murphy Bucks and candy.  We can use Murphy bucks to buy things in the store, or pay for gas.  I guess next week the Area Manager will be around to check on things.  He would be the next layer higher.  Well my eyelids are starting to get heavy, time for a nap.thats the only thing about opening the store it definitely causes me to need a nap.

      Interesting point. I was raised Catholic and was intensely intrigued by the lives of saints. Similar to your obsession with Mulan, I was particularly drawn to Joan of Arc, a 15th century saint who took on the guise of a man to lead the French army to victory over the English in the Hundred Years' War. Later, she was sold out by the Burgundians to the English who brought multiple charges against her as a heretic, including claiming she could communicate directly with God (which undermined the church's authority), and wearing men's clothes. At one point, while imprisoned, she was made to dress in women's clothes, which she did, but was later found again in men's attire which she said she preferred. She was eventually burnt at the stake at age 19. Rather gruesome tale, but not atypical of the stories of Catholic martyrs.

      I just read something a FB friend posted about guilt.  I am changing it somewhat for here.   There are things you should not feel guilty about because they are not wrong.  Being transgender is one. People like to send us on guilt-trips about it, intentionally or unintentionally.   There are things you have actual guilt about whether you feel guilty or not.  If you murder someone, you may not feel any guilt.   The FEELING of guilt can be widely separated from objective guilt. All of us need to train ourselves to not feel guilty about things we are not guilty of,, and to feel guilty about the things we are guilty of.  It is not easy.
