What Made you Smile/What Ticked you off Today?

At least it's not electrolysis though. It's more permanent, but it's way more expensive, takes way longer, and is ridiculously painful (I mean you're getting needles shoved into your face and then an electric jolt is zapped into it after all).

I have a friend who shelled out for electrolysis to deal with unwanted facial hair, and she feels it's one of the best decisions she's ever made. I've asked her about it and she says it's not painful; you just feel a short "pop" of heat per follicle and should put something cold on the treated area after each session to keep the minor swelling down (which in her case didn't last more than an afternoon).

She did this for her face, and it obliterated a decade of anxiety and shame. Dealing with her facial hair by conventional methods made her feel, in her words, "like a man," which bothered her more intensely than I'd realized until I saw how happy she was post-treatment. And I get it in some way, because as I get older, I'm finding I'm having to be more aware of what's going on with my own face... and although I don't feel ashamed of this, for whatever reason this is one societal pressure I feel I can't simply ignore.

I once saw a poll that showed more women worry about unwanted facial hair than financial problems. This really weighs heavily on a lot of people.

Facial hair removal might be more painful for trans women, due to the density and thickness of androgenic facial hair. Something I need to read up more on.

I know my friends who've gotten electrolysis tell me it's VERY painful for them.

(also you know what's fucked? HRT actually gets rid of most androgenic body hair. Chest, back, etc all over time basically revert to a peach fuzz. Doesn't do anything to facial hair though, as once those follicles are activated they don't stop)

and yeah... I feel pretty similarly to the way that your friend did. The daily routine is... difficult.

I hated facial hair and wanted laser even long before I was out. The only reason I ever wore a beard was because I just didn't want to deal with it or think about it.

: Have to work today.

: We're being kicked out by 2 p.m. and...

: The boss lady has given us permission to dig into the liquor chocolate "as long as no one person binges on the whole thing."

Electrolysis and laser hair removal.

Do either one of these work well with armpit hair? I could really care less about the rest, but for some reason that's the shit that drives me nuts more than anything else.

: Finished a strategy primer I should have finished ages ago

: Feeling really energetic!

: I don't think I'll be able to afford the bike I wanted for Christmas

You've fallen for his lies. But you did get Shelter out of it.

It always surprises me to see how often so many men shave. I've never shaved two consecutive days in a row. I love facial hair.

I never got that either. If I ever get enough to grow a full beard, I'm growing it all the way. I just get some pretty decent sideburns and neckbeard right now.

It's all a conspiracy by the feminists to turn men into woman by having them with smooth faces.

I don't see any reason why it wouldn't, I mean people use it to remove things like leg hair.

lid to our frying pan fell, shattered on the floor, kinda flat out exploded. In fact, it's still exploding. It's still breaking, and popping, and shattering, and it fell like 20 minutes ago.

im scared
