I'm getting genital electrolysis done as a prior-to for surgery. And I gotta tell you, it sucks.

I'm using Lydocane, a by-prescription-only topical analgesic: it numbs the surface of my skin and it still hurts. Aftewards the combination of hot needles and hair removal and genitals and a topical analgesic (Is it strong? Well, high doses "can interfere with resperation") and after an hour, this leaves me wandering around in a half-associated daze, moreso than any playing I've done before.

Then it's off to class.


Every Tuesday.

It's worth it though.

Waxing my legs makes me super-endorphin-hazed.

Your reaction is reassuring to hear. Once upon a time a couple of years ago someone i am very close to was in a transition process that included genital electrolysis, and i remember observing some kind of dissociation for her as well.

And i remember her saying it was worth it.

Your experience is relevant to my writing right now; I've started a kid's novel about transition.
