Thank you <3 I'll bring it up in my next therapy session. Probably a good idea

It does make a lot of sense that I need more energy...

Do you have any recommendations for not too unhealthy snacks? I'd go with cereal bars but they actually are quite sugary/unhealthy and hella expensive :/

Oh that explains why I hate to cut a pill into 4 that only has one breaking line

I should have probably mentioned that the stitch points and some areas of the scars are visibly bulging out a little, which is why I'm so worried...

Very interesting. I'm white enough that I get made fun of for it from my family and my body hair as pretty much as black as it gets but it just didn't seem like it worked...

I also never got any razor burns (tho in all fairness, I only really used it for me legs and face). Maybe my unit was just defective?

If you still wanna get into it the rule of thumb is: The lighter your skin and the darker your hair, the better

I actually wanted to try an epilator too but I'm pretty scared... I've got 4 massive surgery scars on one of my legs and I'm scared that I'll somehow fuck something up (surgery was like 7 years ago but the scars don't go away)

And waxing makes me get more razor burns than a razor funnily enough

The Braun Silk-expert pro 5, probably the most expensive and best reviewed IPL device out there

I honestly have a very bad experience with IPLs. I used one for several months once a week and, not only did mine break after 3 months, it also wasn't really noticeable that anything happened.

No, actually that was a lie. I did notice that, the space that was usually occupied with one hair now occasionally had a second (very thin) hair growing right next to it. It made me effectively have more body hair.

I'm sure that it would have worked better if I kept it up for half a year more or so, but there where 2 more factors that made my stop using it:

  • the IPL impulses hurt my eyes even it had good skin contact
  • doing one session takes fucking for ever

So in conclusion: save your money and save your time (imo)

Edit to clarify: I mainly used it on my legs, I notices absolutely nothing on my face either though

Well, I mean, you're part of us now. You're part of the ridiculously attractive girls club :3

I totally get you tho. I was at a local pride parade 2 months ago and I was literally completely overwhelmed by the amount of people that gave me a "OMG I NEEEED TO GO TO THEM AND HUG THEM" feeling (even if I didn't do it because shyyy). I was literally melting

Oh, I actually might have something useful to say about all of this c:

I'm actually in a quite similar position as (I think) you are. I'm just gonna say the magic word right out of the gate: Agender ✨

I don't really know what it means to "be a certain gender" but presenting more femme makes me happier. I generally think that gender differentiations shouldn't be a thing because it makes absolutely no sense for me.

I don't fit into any gender stereotype and neither do I wanr to but when it comes down to it, being male makes me too disphoric for me to not take HRT
