I've been doing 2 hour sessions of electrolysis every month since June 2025. I'm now finally seeing more noticeable results. It, unfortunately, just takes a long time and persistence. Facial hair is thick and wirey and notoriously resilient. Laser and electrolysis sessions have to be consistent as to treat as many follicles as possible that are in their new growth phase.

It's a dysphoria that I mostly just try to live with and understand that it'll reduce over time. I have a pretty new throat tattoo so that helps mask the color gradient caused by facial hair shadow on my neck. I mostly just try to shave as close as I can using tge shaving attachment of my Braun epilator, followed by a normal men's electric razor, and finally dry shaving prominent areas like my chin or upper lip. If I put makeup on, I use a peach color corrector (since I'm white) under foundation and concealer.

I love my electrologist and I'm glad that I'm finally seeing results and that they'll be permanent. But I would probably opt for laser if I had to do it over again.

I love this shot, Tanis!

Kimberly, the pink Power Ranger, was my first "do I want her or want to be her?" conundrum.

It was both.

O hai cutie! 💜💜💜

I have a crocheted opossum named Ester and a blahaj named Genny. They're fantastic cuddlers.

I would love this honestly.

I use queer as well when talking more broadly. I think, as a whole, it is appropriate especially since "queer" has been fairly ubiquitously reclaimed. Although I'm sure some pockets of the LGBTQ+ community may disagree.

No problem. It typically depends on the context but I'd say a safer alternative to use is just "trans folk" or "trans people".

Just a heads up in case you're not aware, "trannies" is typically seen as a slur.

 

Took a random spam call on my work phone because I am tired of getting multiple a day, and the guy on the other end ma'amed me twice :D

To the girl with the nice nails who sold me a battery tonight at the auto parts store.

If you happen to see this, feel free to DM or email me. And thank you for not deadnaming me when my old rewards account came up!

For bottom surgery in December! I'm super excited, especially since I was originally staring down a 3 year timeline back in July. Had a consultation earlier this week and it went amazingly well! I feel decently prepared, but please share any tips for the lead up or recovery. Eeeeep!

Just wanted to say hi and introduce myself a little. I had started getting more active under a difference account but decided to start a new one as my old username could potentially be traced back to some defunct pre--transition social media.

You can call me Cily (pronounced like "silly"). I am in my mid thirties and started coming out a little over a year ago. I've been on HRT since December and am excited to be more active on Lemmy and get to know y'all more. I've been so impressed and happy to see a lot of folks sharing photos. I doubt I'll get to the point where I feel safe enough to post my own photos but I still hope that I can share some of my experiences and feel like a part of the community.

Feel free to ask me questions or introduce yourselves! Thank you for having me :)
