Hello Ladies,
I had a cool, gender affirming incident happen to me on Monday and the remarks afterward helped me put everything together. I bought a 6 appt. laser hair removal package deal for my face and neck two months ago. I didn't tell the first two female laser techs that I'm TS, I guess because I figured they'd know from seeing me up close. Both of them did their work at the time in what I considered an extremely quick and shoddy manner, and when I went in on Monday I told the technician, who was my original one, I wasn't happy with either her procedure or its results of or the second tech's. She asked what was wrong and I told her I hadn't had any appreciable change in the amount of growth or texture in either neck or facial area. I said "I need my whole neck done and most of my face, I'm transsexual."
She said, "Excuse me?" with an incredulous look on her face.
I said, "I'm a male to female transwoman. You know, transgender? I have quite a bit of hair growth."
She closed her eyes, smiled and shook her head. "You're serious, aren't you?" and looked at me. I nodded, and she said, "I was with you for several minutes, talking to you before, during and after the procedure and I didn't have a clue. I looked through the magnifying glass and though I saw some hair, I would never have known." She shook her head with a smile again and asked, "What facial surgeries have you had?"
I answered, "None. I plan on getting 'THE SURGERY' though, as soon as I can."
And she told me she still couldn't tell and said, "I believe you because that's what you've told me, and why would you lie about something like that?!?!" So she made sure she didn't do the procedure like before and it took her several times the amount of time as before. Each little zap reminded me I'm getting more feminine all the time. It was one of the nicest compliments I've yet had, and it broke another few straight days of depression over my brother's death. Hugs, Mira
