Title: Where to put money next
Post by: Piaprincess17 on October 16, 2018, 05:57:11 PM
Hi everyone!

So I'm trying to figure out where I should put my time/energy/money into next, as I continue with my transition. I just had an orchiectomy yesterday, and although I feel great, it made me realise just how much I need full srs to feel complete.

In addition, I have a LOT of dense facial hair that needs much more electrolysis to complete.

I know its a very personal decision, but if you had to prioritize electrolysis or vaginoplasty, which would you choose and why?

Thanks,
Pia

Welcome Pia! 

I started electrolysis a month prior to going full time and I wish I had done it sooner.  When I have "grow out" days before hand, I don't go out in public as I cannot tolerate being seen with any facial hair.  Having GRS was all about me as no one else sees that part. ;) 

If you can do hair removal while still presenting male, do it.

I started electrolysis two years before HRT when I was undecided on transition. 
I figured even if I didn't transition I wouldn't have to shave every morning. 
Good decision.
