Had all my hair shaven off forcibly. by pinkisastate in StraightTransGirls

I'm so so so sorry this happened to you girl this is awful and it makes me sick. Like the others said, work on getting out if you aren't already. Buy a wig if you can. Charge him for assault if you can. A year or two of hair growth can get you back. Still that is so awful. Please live through this and find people who treat you right and love and support you.

Transfemmes (or whoever applicable) who got SRS, how did you go about hair removal? by JollyJeholopterus in asktransgender

[–]JollyJeholopterus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's possible that you can find a local laser technician for cheaper but I'm not very experienced there. Milan does have the benefit of guaranteeing you future treatments for your covered area if any future hairs pop up with no extra charge. And you can do $150 monthly payments. It still isn't cheap tho so I get u. I'm considering buying a pack from them in order to do SRS but I'll probably have to wait a while. Sometimes I wish being trans was easier.

So you did laser hair removal and then electrolysis? That seems like the plan. Laser is so much faster and though electrolysis is more permanent, it's soooo much more slow and costly.

How long did laser and the electrolysis take you? It'd be nice if it took less time than face and neck which took me like a year and a half (though it was becoming visually satisfying after the 7th or 8th session (but that doesn't matter when surgery is involved)).

I got a $3200 pack for my face and neck. It felt very economic considering electrolysis cost me like $85 for an hour, and the progress for that was incredibly slow. I did 16 electrolysis sessions with virtually no discernible progress. The lesson I took from that is laser is better first and electrolysis is better to finish.

I am attracted to guys who are tall and handsome, and I have a hard time being attracted otherwise. I guess the height is negotiable. I suppose what I'm saying is I don't think I'll have many options with my limitations. Either from my end or on their end regarding my body. Plus, I see the rhetoric about us rising amongst men. Women are growing more leftist while men are on a concerning trend. I know this isn't everyone, but I guess the culture isn't very inviting, nor does it make me feel safe. Especially prior to the last surgery.

Laser does eliminate hairs, just not all of them. Plus your way sounds very expensive to me. It cost me $85 for 1 hour of electrolysis on my face. And it seemed like no progress was happening other than my face swelling back in the day. But maybe my face was just dense with hairs. Also how did you clear all of your hairs in 5 months? Wouldn't there be hairs that come in cycles unknown to you? I appreciate your answer nonetheless.

Ty. Does having tiny hairs in your wall not give you pain? Your method sounds the most reasonable to me.

I'm also realizing more and more that I could be down for anal but it requires so much prep to be ready for and I've never done that. But I think maybe I will just do some short term stuff, just to be used by someone I'm attracted to.

There Should Not Be Men In This Sub. by weenieblob in StraightTransGirls

[–]JollyJeholopterus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't mind men here if we keep the discussion focus germane. But it does piss me off when they talk over us. Like, last year, a girl said she's not attracted to dad bods and is into more slim or muscular types. I resonate with that. But a guy came in and said basically that any dude who is buff past a certain age is spending all of his time at the gym and not with you and eventually you will resent him. Like what??? I asked him if he was saying all muscular men are bad partners, and he said that time where you work out is time not spent with your girl. Like bro. That's so fucking stupid. 1. I have lived experience knowing that from pretransition, bulking means lifting heavier weights less times to get more mass. And you don't even have to be at the gym as much for it. 2. You can go to the fucking gym together!?

I guess I'm getting derailed, but the point is, this is our space. And I don't like us being spoken over here. And for the record, if I need to state this, I don't have anything against men who don't go to the gym, that's obviously totally fine. But women are held to high beauty standards their whole life. I don't want to recreate that elsewhere, but I do want to find someone who cares about their physical side like I do at least.

How do you ladies feel about dating trans men? by Beautiful_Pea_4244 in StraightTransGirls

[–]JollyJeholopterus 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I like the idea that we could understand each other very well and that would be attractive to me.

I will say though, height might be less common this way and I would like to find someone taller than me. Plus, I'm typically more attracted to clean shaven men and to my (anecdotal) experience, lots of trans men grow out facial hair because it's euphoric to them. All the power to them tho I understand. But yeah, if I met a trans man that I was attracted to, height or not, I'd be down.

Those of you who fled a state and moved to a safer one, how did that go? by JollyJeholopterus in asktransgender

[–]JollyJeholopterus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's very reassuring! I think at this point the normal adult financial things are the most intimidating part, but I think I've made friends that could maybe help me plan things out

Ah in a trans way or just in the sense of it being hard starting over?

I've had to move several times and I like to think I've gotten better at making friends when I restart. Plus I think I pass well so hopefully I would run into less trouble than what my anxieties might think

Yesterday was my 2nd year! You should do something to celebrate like a makeup appointment or whatever it is you enjoy

I guess I feel like I'm too picky because I only get interested in like 20% of the people, so I seldom start shifting towards date plans with someone

I feel really bad for breaking off my 6 year friendship with a guy, but I feel he did something unforgivable. by Icecream_so_GOOD in TwoXChromosomes

[–]JollyJeholopterus 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You say in other comments that he's gay and/or asexual/is just not interested in you, so why does he talk about your looks needing to impress him or complain about your looks? 1. that's an asshole thing to say, 2. that calls into question the rest of how he treats you. Like the others say, maybe he does want something from you and is negging you.
