I hate shaving. this is not a request for help/advice, I've tried many different types of razor and many different techniques, it's just a complaint about how bad shaving is.

it's like, facial hair giving you dysphoria? well, you're gonna have to shave it off or pay out the ass for laser or electrolysis! also shaving's gonna leave a bit of stubble, as a treat, so you'll always feel a little man-coded.

I'm currently in month 2 of using a braun IPL 1-2x/week on my torso and face, with minimal thinning to my facial hair but my chest hair significantly thinned and softened. I'm hoping the facial hair is just gonna take a bit longer. I also need to start on my lower half and maybe my arms but shaving down there is such a pain when you're 6'6"/2m tall and not terribly flexible...

my body is too manly for me to ignore the hair but I'm too much of a dyke to want to deal with the hair, why must beauty be pain and take hours out of my life every goddamn week.

Sorry to corpopost, I just love that mouse (it's second only to a good trackball in ergo for me, but my hand has too much experience with a mouse to be able to use a trackball properly).

Logitech MX Master. My first only failed because my cat knocked it off my standing desk onto a hard floor a few times too many, the 2nd (I think gen 3?) is still working perfectly.

Mark Hamill being a Zionist was such a massive blow to my nostalgia.

I had to look up wtf a "troon" was, and jesus christ, reddit mods, how is that shit allowed.

EDIT: okay, read some of the thread, and jesus H fucking christ, reddit. I just skimmed and I came across transphobia, fatphobia, misogyny, transmisogyny, toxic masculinity, ableism, multiple slurs, and all of it's just... there, not being moderated for shit?

These sound like a wide range from harrowing to fun as hell. Will definitely look into 'em more when I have bandwidth, so I've saved this comment; thanks much!

Detransition, Baby was actually already on my TBR, so I may pick that up first – or maybe Nevada before that, since from what you said it sounds like required reading before Detransition, Baby.

I was thinking the specific subsection of freakish trans literary fiction novels over which you have brainworms, which I know nothing of.
