Quote from: Valerie.Val on June 24, 2026, 04:01:00 PM@KristaFairchild thank you for sharing this memory, I'm so looking forward to everything that's to come!

@all thx for the insights regarding hair removal, incidentally I had my first laser session this week... First step of my physical transition. No regrets. 🥰

By the way somehow my IP range keeps getting banned for spam so I can't log in to Susan's most of the time.

Hey Val... I have had the same problem when using a VPN... try turning off your VPN and delete your cookies/history and then try logging in again... that always fixes it for me

Congrats on the first laser session sister!

Onward!

Hi Everyone

I have written a short paper on hair removal as was discussed earlier in Val's journey and have taken that topic to an appropriate thread namely in "Problems With Hair Removal" as Devlyn suggested.  So that one can continue this hairy discussion there.

Best Wishes Always

I findv I need to connect my VPN to the US. Then it seems to work ok.

Hey Val congratulations for starting laser.

Which areas are you having done?

Valerie.Val

Dear Admins, thank you for getting me back online 💜

And thank you all for the heartwarming words, you are so kind, dear sisters. 💜

It was not a VPN issue in my case, probably I just got assigned IPs that sent spam in the past.

@Petunia I'm focusing on my beard right now. Fortunately I don't have a lot of body hair at all, so I'll wait to see what hrt does to that. I have a fair amount of white beard stubbles already so I'll have to follow up with electrolysis later on.

Petunia

I'm looking at the same. There is a trans friendly place about 4km from home.

I'm not sure about the pain though.😃

davina61

Laser is okay I found, just the top lip bit comes sharp. What chest hair and even my arm pit hair has diminished, chest hair (I was never that hairy) has almost gone and after a shave over a week ago is not noticeable. Just takes a long time for the HRT to work.

@Petunia 4km that's cool! I need to drive 30 mins. The laser lady told me, each electrolysis zap is supposed to feel like a slap in the face 😬 but we'll survive it, like other brave girls before us.

@davina61 yes Laser feels a little prickly but isn't really that unpleasant. I was surprised how the fried beard would feel the next day, it was like sandpaper 😂

Good to know about the HRT, I'll try to be patient 😊

My tries at VPN get refused. Have tried a few different server locations. I guess it is a kind of safeguard against misuse in that bot farms cannot relay via the VPN severs plus it makes user tracking possible (which is both good and bad).
Out to self since March 5, 2026. My wife knows it all since June 25.
Integration ongoing. I'll cross the transition bridge when I get to it.

Different VPNs have their own connection points. If you are connecting to a city in the U.S., you should not be having issues. Some VPNs use dirty IP addresses, which get blocked, but most should work for you. If you would like me to look into it, send me a PM or email me at LoriDee605@outlook. com

Awesome! Congrats!

Mark this day. I still remember my start date, 11 January 2020. My doctors are amazed that I remember the exact date. I also remember the exact date when I legally changed my name in court: 12-12-2022.

Celebrate the day!
