hi everyone,
i thought that i should add some humour to the subject.
this is just some stuff i came up with while shaving in the shower just a while ago (at 2 AM!)
YOU KNOW YOU'RE HIRSUTE WHEN...
- You shave your collar bones!
- you wish you were as hairy as your brother
- you only have time to wax/sugar one leg in a day
- you know what its like to nick your back with a razor (did that tonight!)
- you spend more time checking out women in bathing suits and short skirts than men
- your chest hair is impressive - but you're a woman
- you've had ingrown hairs on your bum
....
okay, so its not entirely funny, but feel free to add to the list!
Sounds like there is still some struggle with gender dysphoria if you are looking at womens bikini lines more than men. Humor aside. Do you have any serious reincarnation belief theories as to your past life state to explain your present born life condition and gender identity issues?
ReplyDeleteDon
I just don't shave anymore after the body (as in, chest, back, stomach, butt) hair grew in.
ReplyDeleteYeah I envy those women too...
hi don,
ReplyDeleteive been thinking a lot about your question, and i have in fact written a reply several times, but i always erase it. over time i have in fact come to believe in past lives. being alive is such a strange experience. its hard to understand where im going to go when i die (whatever death is anyway), but then i realize that i dont even know where i come from, and just that thought literally burns holes in my brains.
just a few days ago i ordered a past life report (free). it was quite extensive and very interesting. i could relate to a lot of the present day challenges that it spoke about. though it didn't mention hirsutism directly, it definitely covered a lot of the emotional difficulties this has caused me. it also specifically mentioned some challenges in my relationship and attachments with my mother. this struck me because i often 'credit' this hirsutism to her. she has always wanted a male counterpart to complete her - something which she never found - and things between her and my father have always been poor. they didnt get any better after my older brother was born, so i think i was kind of like her scapegoat - the one who would save her almost. she's commented on this herself. basically the point is that my hair growth might be present because my role in my family has always been a little masculine. i have always been the one to make sure things were okay, and specifically have had to raise, help and look after my mother (whom i love very much).
sometimes i also see the hair as my protection. a symbolic mask that i wear in order to hide my hurt, but at the same time, the pain still shows itself through the excessive hair growth (which i keep trying to hide, like i try to hide my emotions when i am dealing with my family).
thank you for the question don. i feel like i may have rambled a little bit...
kokeshi - just hang in there. its probably best to remove that hair from the roots. i have found that it definitely makes it thinner over time. shaving gave me so much stubble...now i only do it when its an ABSOLUTE necessity.
While searching the net, I found your blog on hirsutism support. Your blog is really helpful for the online information seekers. Hope you will keep posting about the important subject of hirsutism, which can be a big problem for many women.
ReplyDelete...when you and your man use the same tube of depilatory...
ReplyDeleteor
...when your 5 o'clock shadow rivals that of any man you know. I hate this.
... when winter gives you more freedom than summer
ReplyDeleteI agree about the winter freedom comment!
ReplyDeleteThe thing I want to ask is why is it that doctors are giving men (who want to undergo a sex change) (no offence to the men, it's their choice) the strong oestrogen filled medication so their breasts can become bigger and their voices less manly and what have you, but when it comes to treating women with male hormones through the roof, they won't help us out. My chin, neck and face hair grows faster than my dad's!!! I hate this.
When you're careful not to get your strengthening shampoo on your body cus you don't want it to effect the rest of your hair. HAHAHA
ReplyDeletebtw I agree with the one about winter. lol
Lol. The one about winter hit the nail on the head and I'm so pleased to know that I'm not the only one. It feels great to have support and know that I'm not alone in this battle because it's not something I feel comfortable sharing (even with my closest friends)
ReplyDeleteMuch love to you all and I hope one day this problem could be solved. I believe this is the first step...bringing Awareness because although ppl are talking more about "taboo" women issues, hirsutism is one that always seems to slip the list.
i might aswell not live if i cant be free...
ReplyDeletehaha! NEVER in my life have I laughed about being hirsute! I think I'll keep some of these things in mind for the not so good days.
ReplyDeleteI have another one;
- MOvemeber is your time to shine!
This is a great post and a fantastic support group! Keep up the good work :D
Hello Buddy..
ReplyDeleteHow are you..?
Whats method are you using for removing the unwanted hair..? till now..?
I have come across the product which has proved every effective for this problem..
I found it on the internet search with the name br. hair hinder
Basically what is described in its prescription is ...like..this..
*BR. Hair Hinder (only for external use) - is a UNIQUE Researched HERBAL LIQUID which is effective and easy to use at home. It does not cause any irritation on the skin and is thus very safe. The herbal extract liquid should be used after plucking the unwanted hair from the affected area. You just need to apply it after washing the area with any dry Toilet (Dettol) soap - twice daily (once at bed time and other anytime during day) for at least 1 week from the day of plucking (called 1 session). It is a dropper bottle and you shake the bottle well before use. These fine herbal extract particles go deep into the open hair pores (after hair being plucked) and make the roots dead. This stops the growth of hairs which are plucked well and retard the growth from the roots in which external shaft breaks while plucking.
So, when ever some hair growth comes in the area next time - you just need to pluck or wax and then apply *BR. Hair Hinder at home for 1 week. It takes 3-5 sessions to have visible change. Keep on applying like this for as many sessions as required until hair growth in the area is nil. This gives smooth skin with no discoloration - without using costly therapies with irritating side effects. Note- If a male is using *BR. Hair Hinder OR the lady has any menstrual problem or hormonal imbalance or PCOD, even in these cases the hair growth becomes weak and negligible with regular use of *BR. Hair Hinder :)
The product can reach you through courier..through out the world...
Hoping the best for you..
Dr.Bhandari
haha! funny :) i know how u feel
ReplyDeletewhen you feel more manly then any man you know, when you don't feel like a women, when you feel like you can't keep doing this forever, when you feel like crying when your doctor says congratulations these test results are fine because you actually want something to be wrong with them, because it means it all can end by fixing it...sorry for being depressing its just one of those days...
ReplyDeleteHey,
DeleteI can completely relate to this. If you ever need someone to talk to about this... email me..mimi311092@gmail.com. it's nice to connect with ladies going through the same thing that understand :)
When your showers takes 30 minutes or more
ReplyDeleteWhen you find a long hair you missed plucking and it was totally visable to anyone you saw that day
When you dont let your husband touch your face, chest, or stomach because women arent supposed to have hair there
When you notice other women with facial hair and feel connected to them even though you dont say anything to them
When you get jealous of women that only have hairy legs.
ReplyDeleteWhen you're jealous of men that have smoother arms than you.
ReplyDeleteWonderful people, thank you so much for your comments on here!
ReplyDelete-A.
When you're jealous of the old ladies with hairless faces and bodies. it's that pathetic.
