Do at home IPLs actually work?

I'm so tired of how fast my hair grows. I have to shave my face twice a day and use color corrector just to hide it. I keep getting shaving bumps on my chest and thighs only for the hair to be back in the next day or two. The chest especially bothers me.

I was looking into different treatments but they're all so expensive. If I had that kind of money I would be living a much different life.

It seems the cheapest option would be DIY but does it really work? And if so what are good brands that aren't going to be a choice between hair removal and eating for a week?

Thanks gals

More work on the eyebrows?

I was wondering if they should be thinner. I had pretty thick eyebrows so as is I've tweezed a lot but I was wondering if I should do more and also where I should tweeze to make them more feminine. Any advice would be great!

Does the happiness of starting E last?

I've heard a lot of people talk about how as soon as they started HRT they felt immensely better. I'm just curious. I've had pretty severe depression for twenty years and have tried multiple medications and nothing has helped me much. I don't expect it to be a cure all, but I do hope that if I start HRT that it will help.

People have often described it as a major change and I'm just wondering if that feeling lingers or if it fades away after you get used to it.

So I'm wondering about the name I'd like to go by when I come out. My name has been Matt for the last 30 years and I thought Mattie would be a good change. I like the sound of it and it seems like it would be the easiest adjustment for friends and (hopefully) family. I genuinely do like the sound of it but I'm worried that it won't put enough of a separatation between the life I've lived and the life I'd like to start. I'm worried people will still see me as 'Matt' and not really as 'Mattie'. Anyone deal with this? I'm in worrying for no reason?

Thank you

First time ever doing clay shaping, I'm so happy with it! Unfortunately the shovel dried and cracked. It's at least stuck together with wire so I'll just try to glue it.

I'm not out, still trying to figure things out, but I love these photos of myself. I don't know why I keep trying to convince myself I'm not trans when this makes me happy.

I have always hated pictures of myself. The best I could hope for is a picture that was okay. I love this picture of me, I've never loved a picture of myself so much.

I'm not out. I have an outwardly transphobic work place and I don't know how to talk to my parents about it. I'm not in the worst place for being trans but it's not great out here.

I'm still the phase where I'm trying to convince myself this doesn't mean anything. That this is something that's temporary or only for occasions. That I can't live like this full time.

I went out with my girlfriend to the bar. My voice still doesn't pass at all, I've had a very hard time with it. A couple in their fifties sat near us at the bar top. The woman kept glancing over at me and I thought "Oh great, she clocked me,".

Eventually I had to use the bathroom. It was only my second time using the women's and I was already nervous. I was washing my hands in the stall and speaking to my girlfriend when that lady walked in.

As I said, my voice doesn't pass at all and she walked in on me talking. I thought she was going to yell at me or say something nasty. I was terrified. Instead, she told me how pretty I looked.

I was so caught off guard that I stumbled of my thanks and basically ran out of the bathroom. It made me cry like three separate times. I wish I said something nice back to her.

I've been thinking about that all the next day, her calling me pretty. How much it meant and how much confidence it gave me. I wish I could go back and talk to her.
