i couldn't stand all the hair on my legs before i started taking hormones so i used to shave it every once in awhile but after i started taking hormones for 6-12 months there has been a lot less hair on my legs even when i don't shave

i also detested the hair on my face so i kept shaving it every day and every once in awhile i accidentally cut my face a little and about two years after i started taking hormones i cut my face that day and i was on the bus with someone in one of my classes and we were talking and she noticed i had a cut on my face and she asked how it happened and thought it was because i got an injury so i ended up crying in front of her and i decided i would get electrolysis

i've been getting electrolysis for about two years total not including the time i've been getting it on and off and the hair on my face is almost completely gone even after 6 months or so

*edit* also it's really annoying getting electrolysis because it takes a long time for the hair on my face to stop growing back so i feel the hair on my face to see how much hair is left even right after electrolysis because even after 3 or 4 hours they don't get every single hair
