Summer Bummer Conclusion

I guess the answer for me was #3 (Screw It).

I am happier being who I really am... so I chose to go hairless.

My legs are smooth again (Yay!)... but I’m not sure how I’ll feel when the warm weather returns to Boston and I want to wear shorts again. Suck it up buttercup… Don’t worry about what may or may not be.

  

Summer Bummer – Men Who Shave Legs

As much as I love the warm weather, I also look forward to the winter because I can shave my legs and chest without being paranoid about it.

Even though there are straight guys that shave their legs and/or chest, I’m still a bit paranoid of the comments that would arise if I wore shorts with razor stubble visible.

So the questions that face me are:

Do I let the hair grow back? (This would keep society happy but would make me itch and knock about 6 points from my “piece of mind scale”)

Do I keep shaving and just not wear shorts and tank tops? (I’d probably look stupid on warm days and sweat my ass off)

Do I say, “screw it” and do what will keep me happier, but may make me miserable in the long run?

I’m sure that many Trans-genders, Transvestites and Metro-sexuals can relate to this dilemma. But for those who are just curious, what would be a simple decision to most people is sometimes a major decision to a Trans-gender who is living a dual life.

  

The Good and Bad about Cutting Back on HRT

Sorry I haven’t posted for a bit, but 2 full time jobs doesn’t leave much time for much else.

OK… so the good and bad:

If I was able, I’d still be full time on HRT, but I had to cut back due to my breasts become larger VERY QUICKLY.

The Bad:

• I felt so much better on full hormones… so much calmer and more feminine.
• My body hair subsided on full hormones, but now it’s coming back faster.
• My legs looked so much better on full hormones.
• I feel more stress now that I cut back.

The Good:

• While on full HRT, I was a lot less vocal about when people and/or companies were taking advantage of me. I’ve always been very vocal of injustices as a “male” but found myself more passive under full HRT.. I’m not, by any means,  saying that woman are less vocal… I’m just saying that the hormones were making me a bit too passive in some situations.

If given a choice, however, I would still be doing full HRT every day.
