transTherapist: Can't start hormones till early may at the absolute earliest. You're not ready for it. You also need to be passing as a female in school, place of work or volenteer activity before getting hormones.
Mother: Can't do any gender stuff till school year is over. You don't get privileges till you graduate.
No gender stuff= can't get laser or electrolysis. I simply cannot get a clean shave on my face because it's too sensitive, and even a shave that leaves stubble mangles it. No electrolysis/laser means no passing as a woman, which is bullshit to begin with. Can't even get hormones to stop my facial hair from getting thicker, so I'll need to be getting it lasered at a rate faster than it thickens. Which shouldn't be all that difficult since it doesn't thicken quickly, but it's still counterproductive.
Me: Is there any aspect of my life that I can still decide for myself?
Anyone know a laser/electrolysis place in Virginia?
