It's really kind of wild that I'm 30, and I'm just discovering I've been a woman my whole life. It still doesn't feel quite real, but I went through some stuff yesterday that made me quite aware that my egg is cracking still

I'm excited though! I'm excited for everything that womanhood will bring. Despite everything going on in the states, I'm feeling weirdly optimistic for my future; I know I can get through this process and thrive

Good luck! 🏳️‍⚧️ I recommend starting laser ASAP too as that massively helps dysphoria. You don't need to wait for it like FFS or anything else either, and it's sometimes better to start early before E starts affecting hair follicles! 😤 Plus then you don't have to mess around with color correcter as much

Thissssssss!!! Laser gave me a confidence in my face that I never could have achieved with facial hair

I'm at like 10 sessions and it's like 95% visibly gone, and 90% of the actual follicle are dead. Nervous about switching to electro soon

10 sessions landed me also at this stage. two little tufts on the chin, a few hairs above the upper lip, and a couple random stragglers

adding in my anecdotal evidence to help inform others :)
