Transitioning without losing yourself?

[Dena]

Just say you have issues in ingrown hair or if your beard alway had 5 o'clock shadow, say you were tired of looking unshaved half the day. You can also use the argument it makes you look younger not having the beard showing. Men sometimes get their beard removed for the above reason so there is noting unusual about this.

Today I made my first appointment for hair removal. I'm starting with my back and chest and hopefully working up the courage to do my face. it's my first official step towards transitioning!

does any one have experience living in Guy-mode after having facial hair removed? I fear it will be difficult to explain before I am ready to come out

:-)

I always hated and I still hate to shave.
This is what I will tell if someone will ask before going full-time.

Your body hair should change with HRT, so currently I only use standard hair removel products like creams and wax.
I save the euros and invest it in other things instead, like removal of the beard and speech therapy for example.

really? I have very heavy back hair and was told it would no go away with HRT

I understood from others that the hair vanished (back) and that it changed it's texture (vellus hair) on other body parts like arms. It might differ from person to person.

I give it a chance and hope that l'm lucky.
