Today, I'm feeling very dysphoric, and it's all because of the laser hair removal process.
After each session, I notice these blackheads of hair that are very noticeable for about two weeks. With my sensitive skin, I avoid makeup for a few days after treatment, which only makes these days more challenging.
However, I will move past it. It's all part of the process. Some days are more dysphoric than others, but I will keep moving forward. These darker spots on my face are a temporary part of the journey. I know that once the whole process is complete, I will feel much happier with my body.
Transitioning is a journey, and I know it's going to be rewarding. I'm already seeing rewards in my chest area. Years from now, when I look back at these diaries, I will see the progress I've made and appreciate how far I've come.
I mean no disrespect in any way and I have no problem with anyone presenting as gay or transitioning but I would like to know why some gay people are so “ out there” for a lack of a better term. For me it sometimes comes across as freakish. For example why are Pride Celebrations so over the top? Can’t you be transgender and move into your rightful sex without a bunch of fanfare? Can’t you identify being gay without dressing in tutus of outlandish make up and clothing! Just embracing the fact that you are now living what you feel is the correct gender
