Glad to hear it Keaira! how's the laser going?

Oooh, that's right, EVERYONE here in the US has a spare $300 dollars or so just laying around. While I'm at it I'll just put SRS on layaway. I mean, silly me, I shouldn't spend all my money on things for my family or a roof over our heads. I'm just blowing money like it's going out of style.

Honestly I think laser is more important than clothes and makeup, maybe even more important than HRT. This facial hair kills my self confidence when it's at that awkward length where I can't quite cover it all up, and can't quite shave it off. Plus those scars and skin irritation caused by shaving don't help either

Yeah you can cover it, but if someone gets close enough to your face, they can tell. Plus if someone is making out with you, they're gonna feel that stubble or roughness. Not cool!!!

BTW I'm not coming down on anybody, so please don't get defensive...

Im not brave or confident enough to try and pass before im finished with laser and ffs, will try and have laser done and ffs monies in next 12-18 months.
Kudos to keira for having the confidence and guts to go full time. Every pic I see shows improvement too.

I've seen ciswomen who have thicker and darker facial hair than I had pre-HRT.
Sure, I want to get rid of this crap as much as any woman. But I don't let it hold me back in living my life. And the first time I went and had laser hair removal, it was only $90 a session.
That's a huge jump in price to get to $300.

But you can go though and have all the FFS done, laser hair removal, SRS, the works and still be clocked. So holding others to their own standards when they don't even know that person is no better than being judged less than a woman by a ciswoman. I know that one thing I am tired of is having to fight for everything in my life. But I will never roll over and give up. I went full time after 3 months on HRT btw

That's about the same as I spend on laser per session (£150.00 U.K money) and I don't have much money. I also drive 70 miles round trip (so there's a fuel cost on top) but it's the best place I've been to for laser.

For me personally laser was very important and getting rid of any traces of facial hair is also very important, especially being out everyday and people seeing you at close quarters.  For me these priorities were and still are way in front of procedures like SRS.

Absolutely my point Alaina! I totally agree with you.

Some of the folks where I live pass in the morning, but the police investigators and the morgue usually have it all tidied up by the afternoon

Oh I get it now!  Lol

Laser hair removal was a lower priority to my name usage at work problem. Now that that is taken care of, I can use the money I was saving for court fees towards hair removal. Besides, I deserve the right to look like hell in the morning.  so neh

Right on, problem resolved     Now let's move forward before the thread gets locked or I have to frighten everyone with one of my just woke up pic.s

Oh, God, NOOOOOO!
