Just took the leap and shaved my face for the first time. It’s wild seeing myself completely without facial hair for the first time in 6+ years. I have a feeling that my skin might not be too happy with me tomorrow. Any advice on shaving/other hair removal methods?
Now that I’m facial hair free I feel like my ability to pass as a man has gone down significantly but I also don’t pass as female yet. Any advice on how to navigate that in between? I’m scared that if I go into the men’s bathroom/locker room, I’ll be clocked as female but I’m also scared that if I go in the women’s bathroom/locker room, I’ll be misidentified as a trans woman (just to be clear: I honestly wouldn’t really care about people thinking I’m a trans woman if it weren’t for the danger.)

I’m 85 lbs down and have to lose another 65 to be at a healthy weight. I carry all my weight in my stomach, fupa, and neck 🥲. It’s so hard to motivate myself when I know that I’m probably going to end up with a ton of loose skin and still feel ugly. I just want to feel a single drop of confidence while naked.
Instead my boobs are small (yet still have the fuckin audacity to be saggy), I have an insane amount of body hair, and my labia are really ugly
I’ve been celibate for like 5 years 🫠

I’m currently having my first period since stopping testosterone. It took about 4 months to come back. It’s been slightly heavier than I remember so far but it hasn’t been “the period from hell” that I’d been told to expect 😆. I’ve noticed a few unusual things like being extra moody for the few days before and I’ve been having mild headaches that come and go. Overall it’s been nothing unmanageable. I figured I’d put this out there to comfort anyone who’s terrified for their first period off of T. I’ll update this post at a later date if it ends up being longer or shorter than usual.
