I've always wondered if those at home "laser" hair removal kits actually work. My gut tells me no, i actually don't have any knowledge in them so I could be way off.

Pointless video on how the process works.
(And even more pointless-but-interesting, since their camera showing the flashes reminded me. Take a TV remote control, point it at your cellphone while it's in camera mode, and watch to see how the phone's camera can see just a little more than your eyes.)

Re: LGBTAI+ #59: Will You Take This Woman To Be Your Galpal?
Can I have a hug? I'm really dysphoric today, my chronic pain is flaring up and I'm stressed from uni (I'm sort of in limbo - I don't actually have anything to do right now, but I can't really relax because I'm waiting to hear back from the professor I'll write my bachelor thesis for and it's possible that once he answers he wants me to start working more or less immediately, and the whole organisational stuff is super stressful, last week I had a full blown panic attack over writing an email to the professor); my whole mental health is kinda ****ty atm.
I think one of the reasons why I'm so dysphoric today was the half-joking question of my sister when I'll become a singer-songwriter - I've written poems, I've written one instrumental song for piano and violin, and I improvise while playing piano all the time, if I bothered to actually write down some of that I could write a ton of songs. So it's not as if her question was completely out there. But I hate hate hate my voice, no matter how well I "pass", as soon as I start speaking I get misgendered immediately. And it sucks, I used to enjoy singing - I sang in choir for 8 years - but now I just can't, I sound like a little girl and it's even worse when recorded. So that absolutely kills any motivation I have for songwriting, and thinking about it makes me upset.
On the bright side, I went to an absolutely fantastic concert two weeks ago - Owen Pallett playing in the Elbphilharmonie in Hamburg - and a few days ago the official recording was uploaded, so now I can listen to that on repeat for the next time. I just love Owen Pallett so, so much. His music is so, so beautiful and he's genderqueer, too. I love him.You can call me Juniper. Please use gender-neutral pronouns (ze/hir (preferred) or they/them) when referring to me.

Re: LGBTAI+ #59: Will You Take This Woman To Be Your Galpal?
So, my birthday is coming and to celebrate it I’m planning to waste basically all my spare Money on a crazy adventure with sexual undertones.
I want to do this because I’m really sad with my life and I feel that because of my parents, family and other ****ty situations I haven’t lived my life yet, I haven’t done many things for “fun” I haven’t been crazy as a youth and I have never been allowed to act recklessness and without thinking about the future, but doing that never brought me anything, I never felt alive or excited about anything, slowly this depressing almost took the best of me.
So now I plan to just go out on a crazy adventure but because this idea sounds so exciting I can’t see a single problem with it, I want someone to strike me with reality of how this is a bad idea so I can weigh the two possibilities and arrive at a logical conclusion.
The idea, warning kind of sexual:
SpoilerIn all my years of life I have never traveled, the place I went to on my vacations was the beach but still I haven’t left the sate I was born in ever. So my plan is to travel to another state, visit many museums and cultural places. Eat at the best restaurant(And one of the most expensive) of my country and hire two extremely handsome escorts to have a “threesome” I say threesome buy it won’t really be a threesome since I’m don’t really like to engage in sex much and penetration both as a top or a bottom sounds distasteful and unpleasant to be done by me, but still I think the act looks interesting so I plan to hire them for a more voyeuristic experience, while still kissing and touching them I wouldn’t engage in the actual act. It would be as if I was experience fine arts, to watch those two handsome guys have sex to the sound of Eirk Satie, Tchaikovsky Camille Saint Saens and Mozand.
Pros I can think of:
-It will be fun.
-It will be exciting.
-I’ll finally be doing something crazy.
-I’ll be traveling and expanding my horizons.
-I want to do something like this.
-It will be different.
-I won’t have to deal with my toxic family.
-It’s a money I have.
-It will be pleasurable.
-I can finally post photos of other places in my social media.
-I won’t have to deal with the people I know and dislike making comments about me never going out or enjoying life.
-I will finally do something my escort will find exciting, most of them find only kissing, talking and rubbing kind of boring.
-IT’LL BE FUN!
-I won’t have to buy a cake call my family and sing “Happy birthday to you” as they insist in doing and I hate but I have no courage to tell them.
-Maybe I can even catch a movie while there.
-I’ll be seeing many palces I have always wanted to see.
-I’ll be learning new things.
-I’ll stay at a hotel, I have always wanted to stay at a five star hotel.
-My boss planned my vacations to start around my birthday so I can go and be wild for once.
-I feel like I really need to do this.
Cons:
-It will be expensive, and the money I’m going to use was being saved in case of an emergency, never to be used.
-I may end up regretting doing it.
-It may not be as fun as I imagine.
-I’m creating too much expectations and I may be disappointed.
-This goes against my personal philosophy of never trusting my happiness in the hands of others or things I can't control, since that makes me vulnerable and they can let me down
Any other con ideas? Thanks guys.
EDIT: Oh, and the place has natural thermal springs and I looooooove hot water.Last edited by Orcus The Vile; 2017-10-16 at 09:53 AM.

Re: LGBTAI+ #59: Will You Take This Woman To Be Your Galpal?
I'd say it sounds like you could really benefit from the opportunity to travel and do some things that you've wanted to do, give yourself a bit more perspective, and possibly come back home with some more confidence that you can accomplish things and stand up for yourself without others there being overbearing.
It does sound like you might be blowing all your savings on one extravaganza experience, which isn't the most fiscally responsible, but you can do it if you want. What I'd probably suggest is writing out all the exciting ideas that you have, like you did here, organizing them roughly by importance, and then going through and highlighting all of the ones that will be expensive (Five star hotel, fanciest restaurant, escorts will be pricey, going to the movies and a museum will not), and then see if you can cut any of the ideas from the bottom of your list. That way you may be able to end up with 60-80% of your dream vacation, but still have some money left in the bank.
Whatever you do is up to you, just be safe and responsible!My awesome avatar by the lovely "the_fennecfox"

Re: LGBTAI+ #59: Will You Take This Woman To Be Your Galpal?
Okay, so, bear with me here, this is a little complicated.
- I've been chatting to a girl on OKC
- We get on really well
- She's an experienced larper, I'm a fairly new larper
- Most of her friends larp
- Weekend before last, I go to a larp event that, by sheer coincidence, a lot of her friends are also at, so I meet them
- Last Wednesday, we have a first date, it goes brilliantly, we're both up for meeting again
- She invites me along on a group cinema outing she was planning with her friends tonight, all of whom I met for the first time at the weekend
And now I'm unreasonably nervous because I don't know the social mores surrounding whatever tonight is. Does it count as a date? There are 8 people going though. I do know the others, but not very well. I really don't know what to expect and it's worrying me :/Quotebox

You already went out once and it went well. She now invited you out with her friends. Make a good impression but otherwise treat it as any group activity. I don't think whether its technically a date or not really makes any difference at this point. If this were a first "date" type scenario it'd be more a mixed or confusing message, but fortunately that's not the case here.

Re: LGBTAI+ #59: Will You Take This Woman To Be Your Galpal?
Anyone remember how I was having a massive identity crisis a couple years ago and was freaking out over whether I was a cis guy or a trans girl? And how it ultimately kind of evaporated?
Well, it turns out things worked themselves out in a way I wasn't really expecting. No matter how much I tried to hide it, I wasn't truly happy with my decision. I still wanted to be a girl just as I had since I was a teenager, and since I still knew I didn't want to leave being a guy behind forever, I just chose to repress my female side.
Well, arguments kept flaring up, things kept getting worse and worse, but something out of left field started to calm everything down. My wife and I both agreed that I was not exactly 100% guy, but we were both unprepared for what happened next.
We had planned to go to a costume party hosted by a local LGBT gaming group with me dressed as a girl for months beforehand, but she did such a good job that my confidence really built up. We spent the following day out around town with me presenting female and had a blast! The anxiety and frustration were largely gone and I felt happier than I had in a long time. I was much more outgoing, I spent more time enjoying myself and less time worrying about everything. I was just being me in a whole new way and I didn't care what everyone around me felt. Nobody said anything bad; I got a few dirty looks at times but I brushed them off. When I had to use the bathroom, I went straight to the women's room without hesitation and had no problems there. My wife and I got called "ladies" three times. All in all, it was a very exciting and very empowering experience for me.
What freed me up like this wasn't hard to explain. Before I had felt trapped in either one box or another. Guy or girl, can't be both and have to pick one eventually. The slightest step toward the other end of the gender spectrum inevitably means going all the way in time. Except it doesn't have to. I never had wanted to transition all the way from male to female; what I had wanted all along was the freedom to be either one as I desired.
I really have to thank my wife all along for this, she helped me so much with sorting out my feelings and building my confidence, not to mention my appearance was largely her doing.
So here's the conclusion: I'm genderfluid. I'm a guy sometimes and a girl sometimes and I am happy being that way. I'll continue to switch my gender expression as I desire and not worry about what it makes me in the end. As for doing anything medical, I have no need of it. I really prefer keeping my genitals the way they are, so no SRS in the future at all. HRT would be unnecessary as well; my body is pretty naturally androgynous and as such there's little to be gained there.

Re: LGBTAI+ #59: Will You Take This Woman To Be Your Galpal?
Yay for Moose! Self realization and actualization are reasons to celebrate! *party noises*
Secondly a very memey subreddit I love too much not to share (especially to my trans/enby siblings). Although its sometimes too hyper-feminine for my tastes.
So my friend re-blogged a very pro-trans post on their tumblr. I'm still floored by how good love and support feels especially when it comes out of the blue and especially especially when its coming from someone I care so much about.
Although It reminds me that the same friend tends to post some things I interpret as cries for help. I usually try to do my best to reach out and comfort and support her... As best I can, since I'm so far away. I don't mention seeing her posts, because I don't want her to be embarrassed, especially because of her "I don't want to bother anyone why am I even on earth" type posts... I dunno, I don't want to jeprodise the best way I have of knowing if anythings wrong, but at the same time... I feel like I should ... dunno... sorry to ramble

Re: LGBTAI+ #59: Will You Take This Woman To Be Your Galpal?
My university changed my name, even though I haven't legally changed my name yet! This is so great, uni was one of the main places where I had to use my old name and now that's finally over! Which means that I'll now also be able to write my bachelor thesis under my new name, yay.
Congrats on figuring yourself out!
Supportive friends are great. I think reaching out to her is a good thing, and I don't think acknowledging that you see her posts would be bad. As someone who tends to make these kind of posts hirself, I'm always glad when someone replies to them (or even just likes them). For me, they are a way to say "Hey, I'm not doing well and I could need some help" without having to actually ask a specific person for help or feeling like I'm bothering someone with my problems. I often don't want to ask people for help because then they might feel obligated to help me and I would feel like I'm manipulating them. But nobody is obligated to reply to tumblr posts, so if someone does reply I don't feel like I manipulated them to do so.
Good luck and have fun!You can call me Juniper. Please use gender-neutral pronouns (ze/hir (preferred) or they/them) when referring to me.

Re: LGBTAI+ #59: Will You Take This Woman To Be Your Galpal?
Just came out to my parents today. They took the news well, and said they'd always love me no matter what.
And again, thanks to my wife for helping me along this path. I'm honestly still figuring things out; at the moment genderfluid is what I'm comfortable with but eventually for all I know I may end up making a more complete social transition. It's all up in the air for now.

Re: LGBTAI+ #59: Will You Take This Woman To Be Your Galpal?
So wasn't sure if I should talk about this, or not, but it's been on my mind.
About a year ago I think, my girlfriend realized she was poly. And we talked about it and set some ground rules, but basically I gave her the green light that yes, I still loved her, and yes, I was okay with her seeing other people.
A couple weeks ago, she introduced me to her new girlfriend. And... the lady is really great. Funny, kind, smart, cute. Aaand I realized I have kind of a crush on her myself. And apparently vice versa.
And I'm just not really sure how to deal with this. This is all outside of my wheelhouse. And sex stuff is scary just in general for me, as I've opined about over the years here.
For the time being, we're being friends and seeing what if anything develops.
