For the longest time I had brainworms about laser because it felt so "sci-fi" idk why the idea of it bugged me so much, but I tried pretty much every method of dealing with facial hair before finally being like "just get laser, dumbass"
It’s like “what would I have done if this didn’t exist”?
which I guess you can also say about hrt, but that is altering hormones that occur naturally, so it feels less weird and there are kind of ways to do that homeopathically (so-to-speak)
I’m not sure if anyone can relate to this thought process
You can say that about anything chemical or surgical related to transition =) we only even know about the "organic" ways to do it thanks to modern science iirc. Even cis women have to be sci-fi to not have facial hair...

I got LASIK because of the worry about what I would do if I didn't have glasses. At least laser hair removal doesn't require continuous upkeep. Shaving, otoh, is dependent on having the tools to do it. Glad you got over the brainworms!

Idk how to explain the brain worms, I didn’t like the idea of owing not having facial hair to some laser.
