Lye on your or should I say in your face
note to self bow down and thank god for that Nordic ancestor of mine who has given me fine white blond body hair
Ruth, I think you are one brave lady to be thinking of it again

I guess it's only trivial amounts of lye though - enough to nuke the follicle, but not enough to do too much collateral damage - I guess that's why electrolysis is such a skilled art.

At least I'm pretty fair myself - although that's a disadvantage in terms of the effectiveness of laser treatment which tends to work better on dark hairs.

As for more electrolysis - if it means being more girly at the end of it then it's a price I'm willing to pay

I'm a bus driver by day so I can so relate to the whole 'need to be more girlie' thing.
Such a relief to be yourself

Aye, but I have to be "boy" for the office too though alas... for the time being anyway. Eventually I want to end up working from home more, with the aim of being girly all the time... did it for 3 months at uni back in 1996 and it was great

Hi,
Just wondered if anyone on here would be willing to treat me?
I have had some laser hair removal but sadly the salon closed down . I am thinking of trying ipl as the laser didnt seem to be having much effect. I am based in derbyshire. If anyone could offer me any help that would great.

Thanks

I have waxed mens faces before. I have done them because they had problems with bumps from shaving. I don't recommend it on a super thick beard but have done it on a moderate one. Yes it bleeds, yes it hurts.

Sometimes it would make the bumps worse, and they would stay worse. Sometimes it would make it better. So I developed the method of doing a test section for about 6 months and that would give me all that data I needed as to whether or not to proceed.

Kind of off topic, but how do you deal with having to be "boy" during the day when you are all girl otherwise? My cuz has been having one hell of a time with this and I've been trying to build up the self esteem but as s/he says its like being a willing schizo, its doing the mind in. S/he just turned 30 and whilst s/he knew that they preferred men from age 12, didn't really "be" til s/he was 25. (I keep telling Chris s/hes a damn better looking woman than I am (s/he is) and I'm seriously jealous that s/he has less face hair than I do...dammit :-))

Any thoughts? If you want email me offline nsutthoffatgmaildot.com. Thanx heaps!

edited to make sure we all know we are dealing with someone born male but in equipment only, hence all the "s/he" in the post.

many transexuals have quite soft/sparce hair on the face ..... it often depends on hormone therapy and how long they have been on it.

There are different levels of transgender/transexual (and these girls should know here they are in their "level"). Many should be undergoing different methods of hair removal.

I wouldn't recommend it on a cross-dresser (or part time girl), but for fulltimers undergoing hormone therapy (hell, some of em have less hair than a greek woman).

Waxers should be well versed as in what they can and can't do and should be taught this during training according to density/area etc.

I have spoken to MANY transexuals over the past 2 weeks before posting this .... and most of them have said .... If they don't "pluck", then they shouldn't be waxed.

And that was without speaking in Palari (gawd that makes me feels old) .

Varda the pots on the bona ome.
Varda the screech on the pitcha ome.
Varda the lallies

Perhaps it's dead .. perhaps I should ressurect it.

Never thought of myself as a 'part-time girl' but I quite like that description.

LOL that is a good description

The trans spectrum is just so hard to define though; I've had a fair bit of electrolysis in the past even though I probably won't transition any time soon (certainly not in a recession anyway lol).

I wouldn't recommend it on a cross-dresser (or part time girl), but for fulltimers undergoing hormone therapy (hell, some of em have less hair than a greek woman).

That would be me, the half Greek Cypriot, half Sicilian.....LOL.

Sorry I missed this reply earlier!

I think in my case, it's not quite so clear cut; I do have a preference for living in the female gender role, but not yet to the extent of wanting to transition to be female full time (apart from my stint at uni for 3 months back in 1996). That, however, is really down to economic considerations; I have a career in the software industry that I've followed for 12 years since graduating, and it does generally tend to be quite a male-dominated industry, so it seems less risky to just present as male as far as work is concerned.

What is wonderful though is that I am married to someone who prefers me being Ruth, and does not have a problem about that side of me at all. We also have lots of open-minded friends who all accept me as Ruth too.

In my case, I don't want to change my "equipment" - but have taken steps to be more feminine otherwise - e.g. electrolysis, getting my ears and navel pierced, going for regular full body waxing, getting my lashes and brows tinted, etc.

I can see what your cousin must be going through what with it all feeling a bit "schizo" though!

WOW! Hats off to all you tv/tg girls!

Just reading this thread makes me so glad I am a girl already

to you all xx

For reference, if anyone is looking for a good website for T*Girls then I can recommend the The Angels site as a great place to start.
