(obviously this only applies if shaving actually aligns with your gender presentation goals etc etc, this is a self-image thing not a callout for people who don't want to or can't)

    When i put on concealer this morning, my first thought was going for the rings underneath my eyes, and only after that did i care about looking for beard shadow and covering it up. Laser hair removal has brought me such a long way, it's honestly amazing to see how things are finally coming together. I mean, i still worry a lot about my appearance, it's just the way things are in a society that always judges femme presenting people by their looks, but outside of the bottom stuff i don't think i'm actually dysphoric anymore? When i look back at where i was two years ago, where i am now, where i will be in two more years, it's just a goddamn miracle.
