I’ve tried shaving my leg hair a few times now, but it takes an hour or two just to get back with stubble within roughly two to three days at most.

I’ve been feeling down lately and I started re-watching futurama for some good nostalgia, but it keeps making transphobic jokes which is kind of just making me feel worse. Anyone have any suggestions for comfort shows to watch?
This time I decided I should probably conceal carry. I’ve done it before, so it’s not like I don’t know what I’m doing, or am generally unsafe with a firearm. I went to the bar I used to cook for, and after I got in, this hick just loudly proclaimed every minority by slur they didn’t like and wished them all dead. He...
I live in Florida, was running into the grocery store real quick on my way to pick up my son. Someone gets out of their truck falls in behind me, stops for a second, and loudly proclaims,...

So a lot of the changes that are introduced by taking estrogen sound pretty cool. Kinda goes without saying in this community, but I’ll say it anyway, and you can’t stop me....
