Oh yeah, same here. I had my first session last week - they gave me the anesthetic cream for free because I paid up front. Gosh, this must really hurt, thinks me, starting to get worried because there wasn't time to put it on before starting. The lady kept stopping and asking if I could stand the pain, but it didn't hurt at all (the SMELL though...). That made me worry the laser wasn't working on my hair (I'm dirty blonde, although my facial hair is a bit darker).

I can still see the shadow, but shaving this morning there was a lot less stubble than usual! There is hope!

Haha, alright. I'll try to get a shot with Blåhaj :3

Hooray! Good luck!

Oh! Good idea!

I should get some pretty belts 🤩

Yeah, it lets the cats come in and out of the bedroom at night without having to open the door for them.

The label's in Chinese, but the internet tells me it's 60% Rayon. (I got it as part of my shotgun "buy everything cheap and girly on Amazon" experiment)

Now that you mention it, the collar might be why I don't feel too stupid wearing it. I'm used to seeing my face sitting above a collar, but the whole thing is obviously feminine which keeps the dysphoria at bay.

Yay, thanks for the update!

Same! I know there must be some kind of selection bias, but it's encouraging.

Given that I currently look like a recently-shaved walrus in a dress, if I'm not supermodel-grade this time next year, who do I speak to about a refund?

Hiya, and congratulations! Newbie here.

Now that I'm no longer using junk food and booze to fill the gaping void in my life, I'm slowly but steadily losing weight (for the first time ever) - went down a belt notch today :) I wonder if my man boobs will stay to give me a head start?

Plus, first laser session in a few hours. Bye bye, beard!

There's an important difference between recognizing that things are better / easier now, and ridiculing people who transitioned in a less supportive environment, particularly for their appearance. The latter would seem like a pretty bad attitude to me; perhaps your comments come across with a nuance that you didn't intend?

Hopefully future generations will be more understanding and look at us with sympathy and compassion rather than mockery.

Ouch! That reminds me of one of the episodes which led to my egg cracking...

Scene: me, out drinking with some friends who just happen to all be women (no hint there, obviously). Fairly well-oiled at this point.

Me: Since everyone else is a girl, maybe I should just become one too, ha ha!
Fren (surprised): Where did that come from? Are you transgender? That's cool if you are, I'm bi by the way.
Me: Ha ha no, only joking, just felt like the odd one out that's all, let's change the subject right now...
Me (to self): fuck fuck fuck where did that come from, I mean I do want to be a girl, but cis people don't say that kind of thing, dumbass

Get home; wake up with hangover and gender crisis.

Thanks :)
