Crossdressing & Transgender & A̲L̲L̲I̲E̲S̲ Discussion v. Thread Reassignment Surgery - General

[QUOTE=Clovis;52579750]my legs get super irritated when i shave them. its happening less since ive had a few ipl treatments on them, but its still weird. like i shave my arms no problem but legs, no mstter what i do always end up so itchy within a few days[/QUOTE] Do you use any creams or soaps for the legs? And are your blades sharp? Could be the culprit(s)!

I just use like. Jergen's lotion after I shave. Keeps me from being itchy.

[QUOTE=lintz;52579665]i've never cut myself once since shaving everywhere but i suppose my hair is still delicate enough to do that[/QUOTE] Having a good razor has a lot to do with it, too. I've never cut myself with my Gillette Mach 3, but one time I cut the shit out of my lip with a Bic disposable 3-blade. I think I still have a small scar. Stay away from Bic.

[QUOTE=Kiwi;52586011]Well. Have to lose weight. Do blood tests and see my real therapist in September. Anxiety over but I still can't believe that it's happening.[/QUOTE] Congratulations Kiwi!!!

another cutie has been initiated, the queer agenda furthers, t̶h̶e̶ ̶w̶o̶r̶l̶d̶ happiness will be ours!

[QUOTE=gtanoofa;52587198]I finally started to work on my voice after months of depression(i've been recovering for some time now) this is what i have so far 3 days into voice practice and people have been telling me that i'm doing better than others at the starting stage. I personally think that my pitch needs to be raised.

your voice is cute :cat:

do any of you have ways of slowing down facial hair growth? Or am I gonna be stuck with it unless I get it lasered off? I can't go a single day without visible facial hair growing again.

I tend to bleach it because mine grows pretty quickly too. The bleach keeps it from being visible and I can skip more days without having to pluck it off. You can still feel it a little bit but not a whole lot.

if you have male facial hair growth facial waxing is a terrible idea the same reason plucking is a bad idea it can cause scarring and reduce the effectiveness of laser/electro

Sup, first time poster. I have been approved for HRT providing I lose a little weight (just a small amount, I was just over the doctors limit and I am expected to meet the threshold in 2 months) but the caveat is that as my treatment is from Scotland and I currently live in the Netherlands doctor wants me to do my own blood tests with a kit she provides. I am familiar with performing blood tests as I used to work in emergency care (still do as a volunteer) but I was wondering if anyone else has experience with taking their own blood?

who knows where one would buy heels in a US Men's 13

[QUOTE=inebriaticxp;52602315]who knows where one would buy heels in a US Men's 13[/QUOTE] You'll need a women's 15. I just checked, and Amazon actually does have heels in that size.

Hi, I never really post here but I want to share this. A few months ago I had hit an extreme low. I had almost attempted suicide while at work. I was lucky enough to get my senses back to me before I did it, and take a step back and realize what I was doing. I decided that I couldn't have it be put off any longer, and I talked to my family about what happened and why it happened, and I finally had gotten through to them. I'm now on the fast track when it comes to transitioning. Its still been rough at times, but I finally feel happy after years of just feeling depressed constantly. I don't know if its of any help to anyone here, but I just want to say even when things seem the lowest they can be and there's no hope in sight, things can and will get better. I know it's cheesy but I mean it, and I hope all of you can stay strong even when things get rough, sad, or scary. You all deserve to be happy, and don't let anything take that away from you. That's all I really have to say, but I just hope it helps someone else get through their rough times. Not really sure how to end this post so... yeah :v:

with ipl you just have to be properly shaved. be it the day before or on the day itself

after 6 months of being on a waiting list, i had my appointment at cinci children's a few days ago. went really good. will finally be able to start hrt in a few weeks they had to check my pulse a 2nd time before i left because it was so high from the nerves when i first went in :vs:

Still makes me hate how long our health system takes to do anything, hearing all these stories of 3~8 months. Meanwhile me, been on waiting list for [I]3 fucking years[/I] and only just going to get the final yeah or no next month, with how everything has gone so far I'm hoping its the final yes.

Crossdressing is pretty cool

Also in other news, first time since getting back in the country I've been able to actually fully shave. I've missed this feeling, fuck work taking up most of my time and screwing with my sleep patterns, doesn't help I'm running around after my parents as well since getting back. Can't wait to start college next month, gonna be hard work but at least I'll have more free time.

when buying women's clothes, (shirts/sweaters/hoodies/ in particular) what size would generally fit me? most medium sized men's shirts fit me, for reference

Chew Trident! It uses Xylitol mostly. Nowhere near as much Sorbitol as other sugar free gums. Sorbitol messed with my IBS so I had to toss all my minty gum and start chewing Trident. Haven't had a stomach issue related to gum since then.

Took about 6 months.

[QUOTE=Mr Kotov;52621312]That is why I went private, although that's obviously not an option for everyone.

Does anyone know how many appointments with an endocrinologist it takes before you start hrt? I've already had my blood drawn so I think I've done everything that needs to be done on my end. I have my second appointment coming up next week, and I'm really hoping I can start soon.

Cis here trying to understand gender dysphoria and the decision to transition: Do you think you would still feel the need to transition if your society as a whole had more broad definitions of masculinity and femininity (i.e. not associating certain traits like gentleness as exclusively feminine or assertiveness as exclusively masculine)?

i want to be cute but it's my own definition of what i find cute whether that's been influenced by society i don't know but i do know that i won't find it on this side of life

I'm not taking hormones and changing my body because of what other people think, I'm doing this because it makes me feel better.

the dysphoria has returned and its been more prevelant with me than it has before, i dont get it. i thought i was perfectly fine with who i was but thats apparently not the case if these thoughts keep coming back to my mind. i sometimes wonder if im in denial and am just lying to myself.
