Oh, I did no know that one can have hair on the hands and on the feet.  Some other areas of my body that are hairless!  I am slowly feeling really as if I am a freak of nature!

Not at all. I have almost no hair at my hands and feet and barely any on my legs, arms, chest or back, to the point that other cis women are envious. Unless... we are both freaks.

Must be the superior German genes that inform our body that hairless is the name of the game!

I have some German blood in me from my mama.  I also get French from her. 
Wait'll they get a load of me!

i hate to admit it, but German seems to be my smallest amount in my body.  I did that genetic testing thing, and found out that 33% of my genes are Greek!  I have no clue where I caught those, but it might explain why I like to eat Greek food.  The rest is a mixture of Dutch (the second largest amount, that allows me to officially go Dutch, or?), French, and German.  I know that I got the Dutch part from my mother, after all, she was Dutch, but who knows what the family of my father did to get all the other stuff?

Yes, it is amazing what you find out, (some I wish I would not have known).  Here I always thought, I was that very Nordic Viking hero, with my given name very Nordic, and my family name as Viking as they come!  My stature is also more Nordic than Greek and French!  That shows how well it works to have stereotypical ideas about people!  The very Nordic looking person is mostly Greek, who would have thoughten?    ???   :embarrassed:

That's Greek to me.

Do you people up north have speech impairments?  Calling a good old box wrench a spanner wrench!  The Brits did leave the country, for good, long ago, you don't need no spanners anymore!  (one never can have enough 1/2" sized ones, they seem to develop legs over time)

We could sing a nice duett in mezzo soprano together, might drive the vermins out!

Well, I are be a Texan.  Snow is a foreign object to me.  I called it a spanner wrench because, for some reason, I thought you lived across the Pond.  Part of my wonderful short term memory disconnects I have thanks to the Navy and the VA feeding me every drug under the Sun to shut me up about my physical nerve pain.   I know about British terms from being an avid British TV comedy watcher on PBS and as a World War Two history buff. 

For our less mechanically inclined Family, we do have spanner wrenches here in the USA.  They are still used on steam locomotives and marine engines.  We have spanner wrenches in the automobile and aviation industry.  Of course, they are not the same as an open or box end combination wrench.   

So Dietlind, whom is your tool maker of preference; Mac, Snap-On, Craftsmen, older (USA made) Kobalt?  I have a 1/2" Snap-On combination wrench that belonged to my Dad.  It was his Dad's back when he owned a single ethyl pump (hand pump) and a dirt floor mechanic's garage in the 1930s.  That tool has taken a beaten and still is in near perfect shape.

Guess you haven't been to an NYC Italian Pizzeria where the guy that is hand tossing the pizza dough has hair on his knuckles that looks like armpit hair.  Oh, and Sweetie, you are cherished Doll, not a freak, by any means.  Your significant other is a Blessed person.  So are your tools!

You look like you have some Native blood.  My two youngest are half Houma Native from their Mom and the Luck of the Irish from me.  My maternal Grandma's Grandma was full-blood Native.   Not sure if she was Choctaw, Creek or Cherokee.

There was a joint genome study done by a Mexican and Californian university that was conducted on about 100,000 plus people with Hispanic surnames living in both Southern California and Mexico, sometime around 2009.  The halotypes clearly demonstrated that less than 3% had any Indigenous DNA. Only 3 of that group were 100% Native.  The other 97% are mainly a Berber/Iberian mix, which is what you would expect to find of a person whose ancestors were from the Southern part of Spain.  Many Mexicans were dismayed.

My son, the master ASE certified master mechanic uses only Snap-on or Mac tools (a lot of the Mac stuff is made in Germany),  I have to say that, except from a "base layer" of Craftsmen, I am happy with the tools from Harborfreight  They are good enough for that little I use them, and they, too, have a life time warranty!

I used to live across the pond, but I live now in in south west Florida!  Texas is way north for me!

No, I never had a pizza in NYC, I actually try to avoid to have pizza anywhere, because I don't like the US version of them very much.  I have some Puerto Rico handymen working at my house once in a while, and I am astonished to see that they inside of their arms is as hairy as the outside!  These people really look as if the wear a fur coat, definitely if I look at my hairless arms in comparison.
Sadly enough, my significant other left me 15 years ago, because she did not want to be in a lesbian relation with a very angry (me) person.  We are pretty good friends now, and once in a while I ask her questions about certain feminine things, because she knows me best.

Sorry about that.  I thought you were in a current relationship.
As for hairy men, that has been a big turn off as I found it yucky as a girl in a boy's body.

I have the same feeling, and I also don't like the muscular Rambo type males.  Interesting enough, my wife did also not like either.  And I don't care for facial hair of any version. 
For the time being, I think a man who would be interesting for me should be pretty feminine.  I would have no problem with a pre op trans woman, in fact this would be the type of partner I would prefer.

I have a set of Snap-on box wrenches I got from my uncle, who was an aircraft mechanic.

Hang on to them, they are more expensive than a bar of gold!

My son has close to $15K in his tolbox, and the toolbox alone is close to $8k, but it is strong enough to have  350 V8 sitting on it!

I have been more of a no-sexual in the past year.  Not at all asexual, just in a destructive relationship with my kids mother.   It has been sort of a master/slave relationship where she lords over me like I'm her slave.  I was just there to service her needs, if you know what I mean. .......

Ok, I'm back.  I literally just got called away to come outside to be screamed, belittled and ridiculed by that loathsome cis-woman for a huge paver stone that has been in the back yard for 6-7 years that had a small chip off the corner!   Never mind that my disabled self struggled to carefully move those heavy pavers out of the way so that I could labor with a shovel and pick axe in black expansive clay, by myself, to lay out her new French drain.  Never mind the fact that this slave is saving her thousands of dollars and doing a fairly correct and high quality job to boot.  No wonder I find her few sexual advances a year to be revolting.  It makes me feel cheap and dirty.  When I come out to her about being transgender, I can only expect the worse of the worse to happen.  She is that unhinged. 

Then there are her 3 daughters that still live at home.  One just graduated from the local state university.   They are Houma Native and claim to be open minded and inclusive. I look forward to when I tell them and on my reveal day as my true self.  As I said in another thread, everyone had their prejudices, in one shape or form.  It is going to be an interesting life lesson for them when they discover that their open-minded, accepting character is fraught with the very prejudices that they claim to be above.

Enough of that.  Britney is a positive gal with  positive star guiding her to a bright horizon!   So, I have been sort of turned off by women in the past two years.  Only recently, as I stopped suppressing Britney to a dark corner, that an interest in men has started to flourish.  Unlike a lot of transgender women, I am not particularly ashamed of or disgusted by my male self.  Don't get me wrong, I wished I was born female or, at the least, transitioned around puberty.  However, the old me is me.  It is 50 years of my past that cannot be denied nor does it need to be repressed into a dark corner like Britney was.  I see myself as two halves of a whole with my female side the actual dominant and very feminine.   It was wrong for me to suppress my female side for so long.  I am planning on not repeating that mistake.

I am still in that flux between my old persona and my newly liberated self.   The male in me was pure heterosexual.  What I thought were once homosexual thoughts of my neighborhood best friend and the sexual exploration that we shared, turned out to be Britney step'n out.  I had assumed that she was  heterosexual, as well.   Lately, I have explored the possibility that I am possibly Bi, Lesbian and now, pan sexual!  I really won't know who I am till I get out of this current toxic relationship and strike out on my own.  That will happen as my transition progresses.  All I am sure of is that I was meant to be a woman, but random luck dealt me an odd hand.  So I am open to where this journey takes me.

Sometimes I wish I would have been able to find myself earlier in life, and try to imagine how that would have been.  On the other hand, I had almost 36 years of an almost dream like marriage with the love of my live (until I blew up), and I would not have had this experience.
I think we have to play with the hand of cards that was dealt to us, and try to make the best of it.  I m now a lonely, but pretty happy individual who feels as if life is a ball, and I am playing with it as good as i can to have all the fun I can muster!
To be honest, the only piece for me missing to make my life perfect, is a partner who would want to share it with me!

Oh well!  ???
And I still don't have hair under my arms pits.  Sometimes I wonder how it feels to have hair on all those different body parts?  Is the skin underneath the hair oft and very sensitive?   Would it be softer than my skin (I have pre-puberty type children's skin), because it is always protected?

Coming to the post late... so let's get the irrelevant stuff out of the way first... I am Nordic stock... I carry the Norwegian viking gene. Ironically (because he's a massive homo/trans phobe) my father has no body hair. I, however, have hair from nose/ears to toes and it is the bane of my life right now.

Shaving my legs gives me a chickenpox look for weeks after from ingrowing hairs. And the itching is just unbearable. I tired sugar waxing and that worked really nicely except that by the time I finished it had took all the skin off my finger tips. So that took a couple of weeks to heal by which time the hair was coming back.

At the moment I am just letting my skin heal from the last shaving... so I am back to hairy for now. The chemical solution is going to be next. I can more or less tolerate it on my body, legs, and even face because I don't see it all the time. It only really bothers me when I use the bathroom or look in a mirror. But my arms and hands are a constant daily battle. I epilate my arms daily and when it gets too much I just have to shave them because I just can't stand seeing just one hair on them. I spend hours just battling the hair on my arms.

Arm/hand hair is a major point of dysphoria for me. Not as bad as ticking the male/female box on forms but probably my third biggest source of dysphoria. So no laughing matter for me.
Don't hate the hate... Start spreading the love.

Honestly when it comes to the boxes on job applications or anything like that where it says male female or no preference or do not specify I pick what I identify as I identify as a female so therefore I am a female and that's what I check
