It’s been said before (I know I read it on Kate’s<\/a> site and on a few others) that you know you’re a transsexual when you get cranky if you have to miss an electrolysis appointment ….. I always found that amusing because when I would have to miss an appointment …. it would definitely bum me out.<\/p>\n

So ….. I didn’t get cranky yesterday ….. just got poked …. alot !! I did 8 hours of electrolysis, which I think brings my total now to 1.4 billion hours (seems a bit high, but it was last audited by Arthur Anderson, just before they issued their Enron report, hmmmm?) ….
\n
\nactually, I’ll post a summary of my hours ….. I’m over 300 now, but don’t know exactly how many …. as much of a pain in the face that electrolysis is …… it’s sooooo worth it to me …… laser wouldn’t work at the time, beard too light and wrong color ….. so I did it the old-fashioned way …… I can go days now without shaving …. it’s so nice ….. I love the smooth feel and complete lack of any beard shadow ….. and ability to wear minimal make-up.<\/p>\n

Why am I saying this ?? Well, maybe because I’m picking a jury in less than 3 hours and my face is all swollen and red still …. so I guess it’s on my mind …. but also, completely contrary to my normal behavior where I never offer advice unless asked …… “just ain’t my style” …. I thought I’d mention this to those in the early stages of transition ….. I don’t think you can ever start facial hair removal too early …. and if I had started it earlier ….. I wouldn’t be doing these long sessions to be done in time by this …… whoa !!! Almost slipped up and let out the transition date !! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

So seriously think about starting your hair removal early. Being in boy-mode is no big deal when you’re doing it …. if you need a good cover story for why you’re getting electrolysis …. heck, just e-mail me …. I’ve got all the tricks down and some very legitimate cover stories (well, legitimate for someone I’m sure, just not for me when I was using them !! lol)<\/p>\n

Peace out<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
