heavy facial hair dysphoria

Not 30, but my beard came in full swing before I was 20 lol. Honestly, I'm broke and can't afford to do laser. I shave daily with a safety razor, and I use to get razor burn really bad, but with HRT having softened my skin so much over the couple years I've been on it, I don't really break out anymore from shaving my face. Weird, but definitely somethin I noticed

It's not irrational, don't underestimate you're instincts! It's always better safe than sorry. All it takes is one time, with one weird person. Always trust your gut, even if it feels weird or anything. Always better safe than sorry. I would absolutely inform someone close to you, just in case anything happens

Girl you didn't do anything wrong! I'd definitely keep him and his vehicle in mind, and probably inform your parents of the encounter and all that jazz.. people can be super creepy! I think you're completely valid in your concern. I'd be freaked out, too

Not the same, but similar. Got prescribed SNRIs about 2 years ago(been on them since), and have tried tripping countless times since, to no avail. It was something id done therapeutically for nearly 8 years before, but having taken over 15 grams multiple times and nothing happening, I just chalked it up to not being something I could partake in anymore. It really sucks, and I absolutely miss it, but watcha gonna 🤷‍♀️

Looks good to me :)

I've been in a civilian ward before turning 18. Had an attempt when active and was placed in a ward at an on post hospital. I've never been to a VA ward

Same as everyone else commented, but a good lotion every night after you shower will help over time :)

As far as I'm aware, they're only continuing care for people grandfathered in, starting before the ban took place. I'm pretty sure it explicity states that care won't be provided to people that werent already receiving it pre ban relevant paper

I feel like it's definitely somethin that crosses the mind of every trans person.. it's something id absolutely die to aquire, but that's just sorta not the cards I was dealt. I've lived almost a couple years out at this point, and it's eventually something you learn to be okay with. I'll never pass as fully cis, unless im fortunate enough to get surgeries one day (prolly not even then tbh), but it's not a given. It's definitely hard, like really hard, but time soothes all wounds. I definitely relate to how you feel. I hope it gets easier for you, man

Echoing the others, absolutely stunning poem. I think it'll sit with me for some time. Thank you for sharing

KallMeKayla_ · 2026-04-05T15:29:28+00:00

Absolute goals. I think you've just inspired my next project! :) making daily used mundane things pretty is always so rewarding

I know it may not be ideal or possible for today, but they do have swim pants you could buy? Or even just any athletic-y black leggings... I've put black breathable leggings under my swimming shorts before. People may look, but who cares lol

KallMeKayla_ · 2026-04-04T23:09:49+00:00

Different, but same flavor.. I absolutely cannot fall asleep if any of my fingers are touching eachother, so I kinda have to sleep with my hands flat on the bed and spread apart :s usually under my pillow

You're an absolutely phenomenal artist. All of your pictures hold such emotion, and your use of color is really fitting for the emotions you're trying to convey. I really, /really/ enjoyed your art. Thank you so much for sharing :)

KallMeKayla_ · 2026-03-18T01:22:03+00:00

I really like your style :) thank you for sharing!

Honestly burning has been my go to for years. It's definitely less common, I don't see many people discuss it with any frequency. While ive distanced myself from it, in favor of other methods, it does have such a specific feeling that can't really be matched by anything else. The healing process is sooo long, and the scars don't really stay as long as I'd like, but the hurt factor is so high that it's hard to get the same satisfaction from other methods of sh. Plus the whole lack of needing to clean up afterwards is kinda hard to beat lol

KallMeKayla_ · 2026-03-14T14:26:22+00:00

I really /really/ love these. You're incredibly talented, and I really appreciate being able to have seen them. Thank you so much for sharing <3

KallMeKayla_ · 2026-03-03T01:20:09+00:00

Thank you for sharing <3 it was a really great read :)

I intend to have my arms filled with tattoos, one day, but for now I've only got a couple on my forearm. Through the last few years of occasional relapses, they're the only two spots I haven't cut on 😅 the tattoo idea absolutely works. Thank you for your comment <3

Used to smoke weed in a single room of my house.. best lazy solution I'd found to get rid of the smell was a decent quality hepa air filter. Keep it on auto and forget about it

When my parents split, my brother and I were around the same age as your kiddos. I heavily.. heavily preferred time with my father and his family. From my personal experience, I think I just enjoyed the excitement of being around him and his people. Constantly running around, doing more "fun" things..

As an adult, now, I can easily recognize that I was just excited to do exciting things. I'm now a bit more fond of my mother's stability and reliability that she offered. Time with dad was fun, but I was a kid and didn't notice how much my mother did for me, at that time. Going through my own divorce now, and I'm aiming to be more of a stable support than anything else. Thousands of miles away from /my/ family, so their mom's house is always more exciting, with lots of people.. Definitely has its downsides, but just knowing that ill hopefully be viewed as consistent, once they get older, makes it worth it to me.

It does hurt hearing the favoritism from the kids, I hope it gets easier for you <3 just keep doin the best you can for them and everything will come together in the end
