I don’t shave every day. It’s not that I don’t “need” to; I have very dark, dense facial hair that grows quickly and remains pretty visible after shaving. When I do shave, I don’t try to cover it with makeup (beyond some powder to reduce redness). In most other ways I present very feminine, but I always have fairly obvious facial hair.

And it makes me feel terrible.

I started electrolysis a couple months ago. It’s excruciatingly painful, expensive, and it takes forever. In an hour-long session, my electrologist is able to remove hair in only a small region (about 1 square inch). A few weeks later, much of that hair comes back. I am told that it will take two to three years of regular treatments to remove it entirely. On top of that, I apparently have a condition called Post Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation, which causes the skin in affected areas to darken after treatment. For nearly two months after completing a single pass over my upper lip, my mustache was more visible than it had ever been, despite having significantly less hair.

And it made me feel terrible.

I know this is the best way for me to permanently remove my facial hair, but I just canceled all of my upcoming sessions and at the moment I have no plans to begin again.

If I could pay to have my facial hair instantly and completely removed I would empty my savings account. I am intensely aware of it any time I go out in public. If it makes me so uncomfortable, why do I not do more to hide it?

I feel incredibly privileged for a trans woman. I have a loving, supportive family. I have a well-paying job. I live in a very accepting area. I have never had a single person say anything negative to me about my gender identity, which was certainly not what I was expecting when I came out. It is important to me that I be visibly queer, and in my privileged position I am able to do that without fear. A year ago I didn’t think I would ever transition; now I want people to know that I’m trans.

I am disappointed with myself for wanting to remove my facial hair, for changing my voice. I am determined not to have to do more work than a cis person does. Cis women don’t have to shave their face every day. Cis men don’t have to shave their face every day. Why should I? This is who I am, what my body does. Shouldn’t I be proud of that? Am I not supposed to love myself the way I am?

But by that logic, why am I even transitioning in the first place?

I am doing more work than a cis person does. Cis people don’t transition, and transitioning takes effort. I know that there are cis people, both men and women, who do shave every day. Am I lying to myself? I’m a trans woman; aren’t I supposed to want to get rid of my facial hair? Shouldn’t I be trying harder? Doesn’t this give me dysphoria? Am I pretending not to have dysphoria so I don’t have to put in the effort? Does the fact that I’m not trying harder make me… I don’t know, less trans? Non-binary? Is it ok for me to call myself a trans woman? Am I lying to myself?

As a woman who was a man until thirty, there are things about my body that I must accept, that I won’t be able to change no matter how much money I dump into my transition. I’m tall, I have broad shoulders, I have large hands. No amount of surgery or hormones will change these things.

But there are many things that I can change, and while none of them are requirements for being a woman, they may still be changes that I want to make. Where do I stop? Am I finished transitioning when I’ve done everything that is physically possible? My goal isn’t to “pass,” at least not in the way that word is generally used. In a time when cis women are being assaulted because people think they’re trans—because they don’t “pass” as women—the idea of what it means to pass becomes blurry. Often when we say that we want to pass, what we really mean is that we want to be conventionally beautiful.

I am a woman. Therefore, I look like a woman. My transition goal is to pass as myself. I’ve spent the last year trying to figure out who I am so I can look like her. I don’t care whether people see me and think “that’s a woman.” I want to be able to look in the mirror and think “that’s me.” But it can be extremely difficult to separate your own image of yourself from society’s idea of what you should look like. Am I self-conscious about the size of my body because it doesn’t feel like me, or because I’ve been told that women should be smaller? There are tall cis women, there are broad-shouldered cis women, there are cis women with large hands. Those traits don’t make them less womanly.

For the aspects of my body that I do have control over, I am stuck wondering whether I am changing things to become myself, or changing them because I have internalized that the way I am is wrong. At the moment, facial feminization surgery is something that I think I might like to do. But how do I know that I want to do it for the right reasons? I don’t hate my face, but when I catch a glimpse of myself from certain angles I can’t help but think that it isn’t feminine enough. What I should be asking is if it’s Emma enough, but how can I know that? How do I know who I’m supposed to be?

I feel like I was supposed to be a cis woman, but… why? Who am I to say that I wasn’t supposed to be trans? That I wasn’t supposed to transition at thirty, to have both a male puberty and a female one? Being trans has made me more self-aware, more open-minded, more empathetic. The totality of my experience is what makes me who I am. Maybe there’s a world in which I was assigned female, maybe there’s a world in which I was put on puberty blockers as a kid. But the girl in those worlds isn’t me.

Loving yourself and wanting to change are two feelings that can coexist. I tend to think of body positivity as simply accepting yourself as you are, but it is more nuanced than that. As a trans person, who I am inside is not the same as who I am outside. Which one am I supposed to love? I do love myself, but I also love who I could be. I’m transitioning so that someday they’ll be the same person.

Over the past year I have become both my biggest supporter and my biggest critic. I constantly tell myself how pretty I am, how brave I am, how fucking cool I am (hey, nobody else is saying it and it’s true). This forced positivity has been fantastic for me. I can confidently say that I truly love myself for the first time in my life. But I sometimes feel guilty that I don’t love myself more.

I can’t help but stare at myself in the mirror all the time now. I actually bought a new mirror so I didn’t have to walk as far to do so. I’ve taken more selfies than I did in my entire pre-transition life. After many months on HRT, I finally see myself in my reflection. But my eyes refuse to focus on my stubble. Sometimes I catch myself thinking “I’m going be so beautiful once I get rid of this facial hair,” and it feels like a betrayal. Fuck you Emma, I’m already gorgeous.

[transfaguette]

this might be insensitive but I really envy transmascs as a transfem, it seems so easy for transmascs to pass since the effects of testosterone are permanent for transfemmes and it sucks how my voice will be deep forever and i feel so ugly

the thing is, the effects of estrogen are permanent for us, too. i will always have boobs unless i get them surgically removed. i will always be 5’3. I will always have wide hips. etc. these are the things that make *me* feel ugly, and like I will forever be seen as a freak. it is absolutely not easier for trans men to pass, i literally have facial hair and I do not pass. people who have been on testosterone for years sometimes don’t pass. but heres the thing that is true for the both of us: we can and will find happiness, love and acceptance. And, we can both do things, including HRT, to transform our bodies into something we love. if it really seems that much easier on our side, im sorry to say you just dont know that many people on testosterone. its as simple as that. So please, focus on what you can do to make yourself happier, I know trans women who have transitioned so gracefully, it isnt an impossibility in the slightest. I know you are hurting, but it is possible.

[mosasadogs]

hrt.cafe, /diygen/, plume, folx, tria 4x, electrolysis, use fucking concealer and foundation if you gotta

you have options to help your dysphoria. nobody's coming to save you so save yourself

What is wrong with you? You didn’t help anyone by sending this message. You know very little about me. I have been on HRT for three years. You’re such a smug asshole. You’re not enlightening someone who doesn’t know estradiol exists, but you wrote this in two seconds out of frustration with some post of mine lamenting being forced to undergo male puberty. I have bad news, just messaging me the word “electrolysis” doesn’t help me at all. Are you really incapable of understanding that HRT won’t get rid of facial hair? It only makes you grow it permanently if you’re a trans man, trans women who have been forced through puberty and take HRT don’t suddenly not have facial hair. My only option for removing it is thousands of dollars worth of electrolysis. Do you feel less smug now? Thanks for doing literally nothing with incredible arrogance. God I hate people like you, thoughtless ignorant people who are incapable of being polite.

PSA about hair removal

This post is for anyone who's seeking hair removal, but especially for the many other trans women / trans fems I see being given misinformation by laser or electrolysis technicians, especially in the US and UK 🥺

Laser hair removal

* Permanent hair reduction.

* Always shave the area closely beforehand. Laser is less effective if you do not shave.

* Ideally look for a clinic that uses something like a Candela GentleMax Pro or newer. Such machines are less painful & more effective than ones like any of the Alma Soprano devices.

* 6-8 sessions will typically be the sweet spot before moving on to electrolysis.

* If the technician or clinic tell you not to use numbing cream, that's a massive red flag against their knowledge. A technician does not need pain feedback from you to know they're using safe levels!

Electrolysis

* Permanent hair removal.

* You must let the hair grow at least a few mm before a session.

* Ask your electrologist for an estimate of how long it will take to clear an area, as their expertise and speed will vary. For example, NHS Scotland estimates it can take 250-400 hours to fully clear a face of facial hair. My own highly-experienced electrologist estimated 100-150 hours max for me, but has nearly cleared my face in under 25 hours. She's not yet taken more than about 120 hours to clear someone's face / neck fully.

* Again, numbing cream is not only absolutely safe, it's in fact highly recommended if you cannot afford local anaesthetic injections.

* For most folks, it's as much a mental challenge as it is about physical pain management. Even with numbing cream and strong painkillers, it's gonna hurt, especially in 2 hour+ sessions and around sensitive areas (especially the top lip and around the mouth).

* Aloe vera gel helps with post-electrolysis swelling and recovery.

Numbing cream

* The most common brand of numbing cream is EMLA, which is 2.5% lidocaine and 2.5% prilocaine.

* The strongest cream I've found without prescription is Tattoo Numbing Cream, which is 5% lidocaine and 5% prilocaine.

* If you can get a stronger cream on prescription at an affordable cost, this is definitely something to consider.

*To help with absorption, exfoliate and clean the area before applying cream, apply 60-90 mins before a session, and cover in an air-tight, water-tight dressing (cling film / plastic wrap works well).

Sadly, I can't provide much information on local anaesthetic injections. In the UK, they're typically arranged either by a medically-trained specialist at an electrolysis clinic or separately (such as at a dentist's) immediately before attending a session.

[mothfishing]

others have said this better than i have, but there's something so lacking in how a lot of people talk about beauty standards as if their effects are merely interpersonal. like...if a trans woman doesn't shave or wear makeup, the worst that can happen is her friends won't accept her and she needs to find new ones (even that stance underestimates how marginalization also makes you more reliant on social support. trans women being isolated from community bc of said community's transmisogyny, even if it were the "only" issue, is itself not a light one)

when the ACTUAL worst thing that can happen is she can die. be it from an outright violent hate crime, from discrimination in every area from jobs to housing to medical care, etc etc

like...i'm a (trans but closeted) afab intersex person. i grow facial hair (not "peach fuzz"...actual thick black hair) and i've had to shave it since puberty, because it will cause tangible problems for me if i don't. the way both cis women and my fellow tme trans people talk about shaving and permanent hair removal is a complete joke. there are some things you can't positive attitude and personal growth your way through and you shouldn't expect people to!!! if a trans woman doesn't want to be hypervigilant about shaving and also doesn't want the literally deadly social stigma of having stubble or a beard and chose to get permanent hair removal, how on earth are you getting on a high horse saying she doesn't know about how her choices are influenced by misogyny, as if trans women don't understand that far more intimately than you do. and furthermore, using the exact same rhetoric transmisogynists use to criminalize gender affirming care and accuse trans women of perpetuating stereotypes of women

and all of the tangible harm aside...

it would be nice if there was zero correlation between body hair and gender in the eyes of society, but that is not the world we live in right now, and saying trans women who feel awful about their facial hair Simply Shouldn't and Should Do Personal Work, is ridiculous. look around you and realize absolutely no one is talking about cis women getting any kind of procedure in the same way. i wonder why that is

[boreal-sea]

Note: when I say radfem, I am including all subsets of radical feminism, including terfs and gender criticals, because with the rare exception, on this website, they are all the same thing.

Radfems think most forms of permanent body modification should be illegal - there are exceptions I'll get to later. Many are 100% against elective plastic surgery, against tanning, against little girls getting earrings. Some of them don't like temporary body modifications either, including makeup and shaving, but it depends on how much of a tradfem they are; tradfems like those last two things.

Now here's a fact: beauty industries absolutely are pushing traditional patriarchal beauty standards onto women. There are absolutely valid criticism to make about these industries and the harm they cause and the vulnerabilities they capitalize on.

However, many radfems who are against body mods take it one step further. They believe that any female who gets a body modification is only doing it because of misogyny. This leads to the belief that the only way to escape misogyny, the patriarchy, and sexism, is to exist in your body completely "naturally" with absolutely no modifications whatsoever.

And I get it. I get where they're coming from. I was raised female too, I've been seeing ads aimed at me to remove my pores since I was 10 years old. The urge to lay completely naked in a field with no fashion, no makeup, no pressure to conform, is huge.

So yes, feminism of all kinds IS concerned with body modifications that try to force a woman to be conventionally attractive according to the patriarchy - pale but just tan enough to look "healthy", nails that are manicured but not too long, skinny but with the "right" curves, long blonde hair, blue-eyed, perfect makeup that looks like you don't have on makeup - a beauty that is at once highly cultivated but appears effortless and "natural". Encouraging women to conform to a patriarchal idea of beauty is a problem, and the beauty industry takes advantage of a demand put there by the patriarchy.

But not all body mods make a woman "conventionally attractive". Dyed hair in crazy colors, piercings, tattoos, subdermal implants, tongue splitting, these are all things that I think most people are able to recognize do not conform to the patriarchy's ideal of a pale blonde woman with perfect breasts and hips.

And I think most radfems are able to distinguish between these two kinds of body mod: they can recognize that "oh yes of course tattoos and piercings and purple hair is ok, you're fighting the patriarchy when you do that".

So why do they lose this perspective when it comes to GNC and trans people?

Like top surgery - how is removing breasts conforming to the patriarchy? It's inherently not - so much so that doctors performing breast reductions on cis women routinely violate their patient's consent and don't remove as much tissue as they're told to remove.

What about the effects of testosterone? Facial hair, a higher hairline and a deep voice are not feminine ideals according to the patriarchy, but radfems have a problem with it anyway.

It's funny, honestly. They cry about how women shouldn't be pressured to do body mods that force them into ideal femininity... but then get disgusted when people get body mods that remove them from ideal femininity.

Radfems express not just concern but disgust when it comes to the changes female trans and GNC people undergo. They cry about how it "ruins" a "beautiful young girl" and "destroys her fertility" etc... which are the exact ideals they claim to be fighting against. But when the person is GNC or trans, suddenly traditional femininity is a good thing.

And of course their hypocrisy extends to trans women, too - suddenly, the idealized female form is absolutely "inherent" and no "male" could possibly achieve such delicate femininity.

It's just a little bit funny.

[intersex-questions]

A beautician is following me for laser hair removal (I am 16 years old and I started about a year ago). My beautician’s boss once checked my hair situation, and she was surprised I still had so many. So you told me I might have PCOS. Then I got scared because I didn’t know anything about it, and I talked to my mom about it. She told me that in fact, especially before, I was "a monkey", although, while I felt uncomfortable with my hair, I never realized I had so much out of the ordinary. We’ll go deeper to see if the beautician was right, but in the meantime, I wanted to talk to someone about it, see if you know anything about PCOS, like how it affects menstruation or anything else.

Having a notable amount of body hair that's above the "norm" is called hirsutism, which is a symptom of hyperandrogenism, and both of those are symptoms of PCOS.

PCOS stands for polycystic ovary syndrome. Despite the name, you do not have to actually have ovarian cysts to have it, although it's likely.

Three main signs of PCOS are:

Hyperandrogenism (which can manifest things such as "excess" body hair, deeper voice, facial hair, clitoromegaly, acne, hair loss in certain areas such as the head--although, everyone's body processes androgens ("male" sex hormones) differently, so not everyone will present with as strong signs of androgenization, even if they have a high level of androgens in their body)

Irregular periods. This can mean a variety of things. Periods can be far longer than other's, such as over a week. They might happen less often in a year, happening in a time frame over than ~28 days for each. Some people might have much lighter periods than most people or even shorter periods, only a few days. Some people might have large blood clots or extreme pain. Endometriosis can occur with PCOS, which often causes extremely painful periods. Pain is not necessary for irregular periods, though. This can also affect your ovulation cycle as well as your fertility.

Polycystic ovaries. Ovaries can become enlarged or inflamed and have multiple fluid filled sacs that often cause pain (although they might not).

Hyperandrogenism, hirsutism, and PCOS often go hand in hand. It can be hard to tell if someone has hyperandrogenism or PCOS, in some cases, especially since hyperandrogenism is a symptom of PCOS and cysts aren't necessary to be diagnosed with it. Some people might have hyperandrogenism for no "real" reason, whereas for others it is believed their hyperandrogenism and PCOS have a medical link. There are definitely cases where these variations in bodies aren't inherently indistinguishable from the other. A medical diagnosis is often useful because it allows for treatment if the patient desires it.

So, to be clear, based on what you describe, it's incredibly likely you have hirsutism, in which cause you may have hyperandrogenism (which, in turn, is a symptom of PCOS).

It's completely okay to be scared. Unknown things are scary, as is learning new things about our body. PCOS may sound like a scary syndrome, but it is incredibly common. Many women and people live with it. Many intersex people view it as an inherently intersex variation, as do they with hyperandrogenism and hirsutism.

While it's important to note that there are gatekeepers who do not, and these people are frowned upon by the vast majority of the intersex community and are often perisex (non-intersex) people.

Some other effects hyperandrogenism/PCOS might have include:

Oily skin

Predisposition to being fat

Smaller breasts

Insulin resistance

Increased libido

Increased muscle mass

Visible Adam's apple

More ambiguous genitalia (ties in with clitoromegaly)

If you have any other questions, feel free to send them! You are not alone. I wish you much luck on your intersex journey. And this is just some unwarranted advice, but do your best to be confident in yourself and your body. Don't let people try to influence you to do things to it or change it, especially with permanent procedures, unless it's something you've truly examined that you want, and not because others have pressured you, told you it's necessary when it isn't, or because you've been overall socially pressured to.

And I relate to that monkey comment, lol. My mom has always called me her little monkey because I've always been super hairy (although in my case, I've always taken great pride in being called that). It's part of why I chose a Pokémon based on a monkey for my new icon!

🧿Societal realization that feminine doesnt equal women, masculine doesnt equal men, anyone can wear makeup, heels, dresses, business suits, tuxedos, grow facial hair, not shave their legs, have acrylic nails, etc. and it has nothing to do with genitalia, sex or assigned gender at birth and everything to do with Spirit (as the Native Americans know with 2 Spirit), energy and how Source has divinely chosen to manifest itself in each individual soul and that expression of Source is as unique and individual as our fingerprints and if that expression is through gender affirming transitions, surgery, medical care, facial feminization surgery, changes in physical appearance, hormones, drugs then that is how that persons soul has chosen to express themselves in this temporal, corporeal, temporary and physical plane of existence -- the soul, our energy, Source, the divine is what truly matters and noone should question anyone elses unique soul expression which can be expressed and communicated in literally millions of different ways, through body art, body modifications, tattoos, piercings, hair adornments, permanent makeup, the list is literally endless and gender identity expression and gender affirming care is just one of these millions of ways and should not be demonized, hated, feared or legislated against.

They should be made illegal.

🧿Cancer is nothing but a cottage industry and a money making tool -- with all the trillions and trillions donated and decades upon decades of research, where is the cure? Same with arthritis, lupus and other autoimmune diseases. Prescription drugs exist to make pharmaceutical companies richer, thats it.

🧿Satan was made up for Christianity, which is a bastardized & stolen form of kemet, Mary is a bastardized Isis & Jesus is a bastardized & fake ass Horus. There is no hell, hell is never mentioned once in the Old Testament, it was made up later for the New Testament to control and enslave. We are in hell, thats literally where we are now, what else do you call millions of children dying every year of starvation, from homelessness, from completely preventable & curable diseases when Apple is a trillion dollar company? What do you call the Earth dying because of profit and greed and capitalism? What do you call pointless wars over inside government jobs? What do you call genocide, systems of oppression, police killing unarmed Black men with absolute impunity, prison industrial complex, military industrial complex, school to prison pipeline, corporate amerikkka working people to death into literal early graves, money being valued over living human beings with unique souls, forests being destroyed, colonialism, colonizers, government experimentation, MK Ultra, minders, greys, the Bohemian Grove...youre in hell literally now.

🧿Decolonize your mind, heal yourself, commune with nature, unplug and disconnect, exit the rat race, stop treating yourself as a machine when you are a beautiful soul, stop overworking, stop hustling, stop overeating, stop overdrinking -- ethanol is a poisonous depressant, so how do you "drink to have a good time"?, stop overspending, stop overconsuming, stop retail "therapy", tap into yourself, tap into your soul, stop endlessly scrolling and tapping your phone, tap into Source, we are all infinite beings and they treat you like you are an inconsequential cog to be replaced -- if you die today, your job will replace you tomorrow i was a corporate recruiter and saw it happen more than once, listen to ocean waves, float weightlessly in a dark pool, stop listening to 24/7 news, stop being 24/7, youre not 24/7, you have a natural circadian rhythym, replenish your depleted melatonin levels, they treat you like a 5 below knock off when you are expansive & divine, stop killing yourself to make a CEO that doesnt know who tf you are and his shareholders richer they will brush your ass out the door this fall with the estimated 2 million more people being laid off, stop making yourself a number, stop being a statistic, stop being plastic, stop playing their game, be an individual, be yourSELF, know the Self, know Self, know thy Self, cant run away from Self forever, look inside because thats where all the answers are and thats the only place they dont want you to look so you google it but baybee what did people do before google, stop shortening your attention span, you are more than a Tik Tok, read a book, fight the power, fight the machine, take a slow leisurely walk to nowhere to do nothing, stop existing and curating your entire existence for social consumption on social media, you are not a thing to be consumed, you were wonderfully made by Source, you are Source, realize who you are and open your eyes...🧿

Moussa Rosaire Rousseau

ルソー・ロザエール

b. 8 September in Bordeaux, France

Parents: Moussa Rousseau (d.) and Agnès Konate Rousseau (d.)

Siblings: None

Physical Attributes:

Height: 1,54m (5ft1in)

Weight: 52kg (114lb)

Type 4c hair, naturally black but often dyed brown or red, occasionally with colorful portions or extensions. Always kept in either knotless braids or cornrows. Lower half of his hair is kept shaved tight, so the braids are only on top but kept long.

He has sharp, slightly angled eyes that are blue. Nose is fairly broad by round, lips are full, and face is a soft heart-shape. His skin is a deep hickory shade. He is a meticulous user of moisturizers and cremes and lotions and potions, so he has a perfect complexion and soft skin. His facial hair, and body hair for that matter, has all been permanent removed. Eyebrows are meticulously kept but are on the slight side to begin with.

Style and Appearance:

Light cosmetics are common: mascara and eyeliner every day; lip tint and eyeshadow when he needs to look nice; full foundation and all when he needs to look stunning. (Or if he's feeling particularly 'beautiful' on any given day, whatever!)

Generally, he styles himself with more feminine-feeling clothing however it is typically made custom for him or is a customized designer good. Most of it would be a men's style or cut, but with traditionally feminine fabrics, colors and accoutrements. He loves gold jewelry, especially with diamonds or coordinating gemstones. He has a single piercing in his nose and multiple on each ear. Typically, ear jewelry is worn asymmetrically, with a long or large earring on the right and a coordinating piece or a mate for the large earring on the left. He always has at least one necklace on, whether it be a simple chain or a statement piece. Bracelets are more uncommon, and he might wear one fashion ring or he might wear multiple.

Personality:

He's a spoiled brat, especially in his youth. As an adult he's full of himself and quite prideful. He's got charisma and a mind for running his business empire. Demanding, focused; he's a classic type A personality on the brink of burnout. To compensate, he's addicted to social media where he has a decent following. (He's 'famous' for being rich; he is not an entertainer of any sort, and his business ventures aren't particularly interesting to the younger generation.)

He's surrounded by acquaintances and a strong social and professional network, but he has little time or want for a long-term romantic partner. He does, however, keep Grindr installed on his phone for when he doesn't have a new flavor-of-the-month plaything, whether it be somebody from a club, a social media influencer, or the like. As he enters his thirties, he's getting a bit tired of this game, but it's all he knows.

By adulthood he is completely fluent in English and French and has passable Japanese. He has few creative abilities or skills though he appreciates the arts. To supports those like him but without the resources, and as a slight to his late father, he is a lifelong donor to a major LGBT organization that offers counselling, education and other resources for LGBT youth. He attended private and group sessions and classes lead by the same organization, behind his father's back, when he was finding his own place in the world.

He is attracted to men of all varieties with zero interest in women (bordering on an aversion to the gender, save for Fabienne).

Brief Background:

Born into exceptional wealth, Rosaire is the only child of a multi-millionaire businessman. His family owns one Africa and Europe's largest logistics companies and during his youth things start getting global. His mother died with he was just shy of five years old and his father was definitely not the type to be a parent. He was raised by his nanny alongside her own daughter, Fabienne, whom he views as a sister.

When he is twelve years old his father and his business partner decide to begin investing heavily in the Asian market, starting with buying out a large courier company in Japan. He uproots his son and they move to Osaka which is an extreme culture shock to the boy. His only saving graces are that his nanny and Fabienne come with, and his school is an international academy that is comprised mostly of the children of other elites from all around the world.

Few of his fellow classmates find him to be particularly friend-worthy but they include him anyway. They're all much bigger fans of Fabienne. The two of them, however, do face an interesting combination of racism and genuine curiosity from the locals when they are out and about with the nanny and chauffeur. Rosaire is relieved of the bullying for his particularly petite stature; he can handle trying to sternly educate about racism if it means he doesn't have to suffer another short joke.

The supposedly brief stay in Japan turns into years and years. Rosaire goes to university at an elite school nearby. During his first year his father dies, and he suddenly has immense freedom. He loses control of his life due to excessive partying, whatever all you can imagine that entails, until he is brought back to reality by his best friend from senior high school and Fabienne. Once he finishes his education, he is officially given control of his family's company and he grows it like never before.

Fun Facts:

Favorite Color: Purple

Favorite Flower: Wild Flowers

Favorite Mental Breakdown Activity: Eating greasy fast food and watching reality TV

Secret Skill or Passion: Collecting Mercedes-Benz vehicles and philately (don't you DARE call it stamp collecting)

Biggest Pet Peeves: Calling him by his legal given name and short jokes

[detransition]

jesse | 18/100 portraits of detrans women | by SARAH VACI

“An important aspect that I want people to understand is that there is no physical “detransition” possible. Transitioning with hormones and surgery permanently changes our bodies.  Detransitioning all happens internally. It’s unlearning all of the misogynistic and homophobic conditioning we have internalized. It’s facing the dysphoria head on and working with it daily, repeatedly practicing acceptance and love. 

People often ask me why I don’t remove my facial hair. For the same reason I don’t remove any of my other body hair-it’s a practice of self acceptance and undermining the systems delusions. Although I’ve always been a hairy woman and am a bit fuzzier now, I love my body hair and hope to be a beacon for other women on their journey of self acceptance and decolonizing the mind from misogyny, homophobia, and male supremacy. “ (x)

thinking about detransition? you are not alone

[mygenderisblurry]

I'm going to try to put my gender feelings into words but it's probably going to end up rambling because I've never actually said or written it down before, it's all just been bouncing around in my head. For context, I transitioned FTM.

I've always had some small level of doubt (well, not always small, but usually small) about my transition. I would occasionally get a thought in the back of my mind like "what if I'm not really trans?" I didn't really want to go on testosterone. But I found out just before my top surgery that if I wasn't on testosterone, they wouldn't pay for top surgery, so I had to rush into starting a treatment I was ambivalent about. Now, I have mixed feelings. I love my deeper voice. I love how it sounds when I sing. I appreciate the clitoral growth, because I am finally able to orgasm after years of being anorgasmic. And for a while, it was all good. But the testosterone is still taking more effect in the form of increased facial and body hair, and I don't like it. I don't want all this hair. I've even entertained thoughts about getting laser removal on my face and I can't tell if I'm just upset because it grows in patchy or because it was never meant to be there in the first place. I knew that hair would happen, I just didn't anticipate hating it. It almost feels like reverse dysphoria.

Also, top surgery. I do like having a flat chest. That doesn't really bother me. I am bothered that my surgical scars aren't what I hoped. A lot of that is on me for being really lax with scar care (and also my ex but I won't go into that here). But I have uneven nipples and I hate them. Like it bothers me every time I get in the shower. One is permanently erect. I'm not sure if it was a complication or a botch. I do also sometimes miss my boobs. There's a lot I'm happy with about top surgery-- no back pain, no struggling to find bras that fit in stores, no random men staring at my chest. I do enjoy being fully flat. It feels comfortable. But I wonder if I'd have been better off with a reduction? I went from 36G to nothing.

I've also been embracing traditional femininity more and enjoying it. I've been playing with makeup more, and that's something I've never enjoyed before, but I like how I look with bold eye makeup (I rarely do a full face, just what I find fun). I like the convenience of long skirts when I want more freedom of movement or just don't want to wear pants. A lot of feminine clothing is so cute! I used to feel uncomfortable wearing it. I still do really. But it's so aesthetically pleasing. I really like pastels and florals. I found out I have curly hair and started growing it out and now I have beautiful shoulder-length 3C curls. And yes, beautiful is the right word. Not handsome.

But I know men can wear pastels and makeup and women can be hairy and call themselves handsome and a lot of this is just gender roles (I don't use them exclusively, for instance I still like some masc clothes as well and sometimes view myself as handsome and like the term boyfriend, but still). So I feel guilty for even questioning it. I don't know if I'm a woman or a feminine man or a man who fetishizes femininity. That last point is especially rough because I started down this path (after ignoring my little doubts and concerns) when I discovered the "detrans kink", and I thought wow, I'm really into that. That's hot. But then I started to think critically about it. What about it did I find so appealing? And why did I feel like I needed it to me something that someone pushed or forced me into, and not something I would do to myself? That's when I started putting together the above pieces. And to that last point, it's because the thought of choosing to detransition scares me. Not because I think it's definitely 100% wrong in a nonsexual context. But because it might be right, but I fear the social ramifications. I have so many trans friends and run in trans-uplifting social circles and hobby spaces IRL, so I'm worried I'd b judged at best, and lose the majority of my friends at worst. I can't even talk to anyone about this. So I'm here. Ranting, rambling, learning, and hopefully better understanding myself as I go.

Laser Facial Hair Removal for Women: A Comprehensive Guide to Smooth, Hair-Free Skin

How Laser Hair Removal Works

Laser hair removal works by targeting the pigment (melanin) in hair follicles. The laser emits a concentrated beam of light that is absorbed by the pigment, effectively damaging the hair follicle and inhibiting future hair growth. This treatment is most effective on darker hair and lighter skin, but modern laser technology has improved to work on a wider range of skin tones and hair types. The process is selective, meaning it only targets the hair follicles without harming the surrounding skin.

Benefits of Laser Facial Hair Removal

Long-Lasting Results: One of the biggest advantages of laser hair removal is its ability to provide long-term hair reduction. Laser Facial Hair Removal for Women After a series of treatments, most women experience a significant decrease in hair growth, with some achieving permanent results.

Precision: Laser treatment is highly precise, allowing for targeted removal of hair without affecting the surrounding skin. This is particularly beneficial for facial areas where precision is critical for natural-looking results.

Speed: Laser treatments are relatively quick. Smaller areas of the face, such as the upper lip or chin, can be treated in just a few minutes. This makes it a convenient option for busy women.

Minimal Discomfort: While some women may experience a slight discomfort during the procedure, it’s generally much less painful than waxing or epilating. Most describe it as a mild sensation similar to a rubber band snapping against the skin.

What to Expect During the Procedure

Before undergoing laser facial hair removal, a consultation with a licensed professional is crucial. During this consultation, your skin and hair type will be assessed to determine the appropriate laser settings for optimal results. It is important to avoid tanning and hair removal methods that disturb the hair follicle, such as plucking or waxing, in the weeks leading up to your treatment.

The procedure itself is fairly straightforward. You will be provided with protective eyewear to shield your eyes from the laser light, and the technician will apply a cooling gel or device to protect your skin and enhance comfort. The laser is then passed over the treatment area, emitting pulses of light that target the hair follicles. Depending on the size of the treatment area, the session can last anywhere from a few minutes to half an hour.

Safety and Side Effects

Laser facial hair removal is considered safe when performed by trained professionals. Side effects are typically mild and temporary, including redness, slight swelling, and a sunburn-like sensation in the treated area. These effects usually subside within a few hours to a couple of days. In rare cases, some individuals may experience temporary changes in skin pigmentation, but this is more common in those with darker skin tones. It's essential to follow the aftercare instructions provided by your practitioner to minimize any potential risks.

Aftercare Tips for Best Results

To ensure the best outcome from laser hair removal, proper aftercare is important. Here are some tips to follow after your treatment:

Avoid Sun Exposure: Sun exposure can irritate the treated skin and increase the risk of hyperpigmentation. It’s best to avoid direct sunlight and use sunscreen with a high SPF to protect your skin.

Moisturize: Keeping your skin hydrated with a gentle, non-comedogenic moisturizer can help soothe any irritation or dryness.

Avoid Harsh Products: Refrain from using exfoliants, retinoids, or any harsh skincare products for at least a week after treatment.

Avoid Heat: Stay away from saunas, hot baths, or strenuous exercise that causes excessive sweating for a day or two after the procedure.Laser Hair Removal Las Vegas Cost

Is Laser Hair Removal Right for You?

While laser facial hair removal can be an excellent option for many women, it’s not suitable for everyone.

Those with certain skin conditions or on certain medications should also consult a healthcare professional before considering this procedure.
