Re: LGBTAitp 27: Of Shoes, and Ships, and Sealing Wax
Yeah, but all my characters are used up at the moment
Very much agreed with this. Also in agreement with the, "showering them with love and acceptance", bit as well. Yeah, my fist would be saying hallo to anyone who happened to want to share their bigoted, jerky thoughts with my child........My Extended Signature, Check it out!

Hmmm.
I think (hope) my first response would be "Okay. What do you need?"

Re: LGBTAitp 27: Of Shoes, and Ships, and Sealing Wax
With how endemic it is to the thread to have people injuring themselves from shaving with no knowledge base, I have to wonder whether a disclaimer to remind people not to jump in head first into body modification without first making sure they've learned enough to do it safely is in order.

Hopefully people won't perform SRS or mastectomies etc. on themselves but will leave it to trained surgeons.

Re: LGBTAitp 27: Of Shoes, and Ships, and Sealing Wax
Knowing how my family is, my reaction would probably be "... Do you want to go shopping for some different clothes?"
The KenderFairies know that we are locked in an eternal and unwinnable battle of cutness against the KittenFairies.
Well, "women's issues" are important to me, but I always try to remember that not all women experience every "woman issue" and not all "woman issues" only affect women. Like a lot of things, it's a world of shades of grey and "most" and "statistically" and "almost all". Specifically, menstruation, pregnancy, etc, are very important topics to me, and they're feminist issues because they are overwhelmingly divided along gender lines, but even just restricting ourselves to cis people, not all cis women menstruate or can get pregnant. Besides, who wants to restrict themselves just to cis people?

Re: LGBTAitp 27: Of Shoes, and Ships, and Sealing Wax
[QUOTE=SiuiS;14032748]Oh? Such as~?
Those are less fun than I thought
I believe it is the last one; someone did all the mane 6 as changelings based on their dominant coat color. I'm not sure if it's a "changelings win" story or not. They are in thread though. I'll find the link.
The soap you see Barbers lather and leave on the face soaks into the hair and softens it, makes it easier to cut while also helpin the blade drag vet your skin without issue. All razors are mechanically identical (blades at an angle) and usually the same blade as well. The differences are in blade count, pivot strength if there is one, and whether they have a moisturizing strip.
At the very least, buy a dollar bar of dove soap, and slick up your legs. As for how to tend it now, well... Go easy on the skin, drink plenty of fluids and be sure to shave again soon, so the skin doesn't get the same level of stress.

Re: LGBTAitp 27: Of Shoes, and Ships, and Sealing Wax
Yeah. The expressions in the last two panels made me burst out laughing, though the atmosphere for the last week or two has been a wee bit tense.
Meh, it's just shaving various body parts. My dad doesn't, so when I started I just kind of winged--wung--uhh--played it by ear. Worst that'll happen is a bit of discomfort the first few times until you figure it out.
That is upsetting.Jude P.

Re: LGBTAitp 27: Of Shoes, and Ships, and Sealing Wax
...dammit. I don't think I pass as well as I thought I did. I'm starting to get the impression that everyone I've talked to for any length of time has worked out I'm a guy. Sure, they're fine with it - I've not had any trouble from it - but it's kinda depressing.

Re: LGBTAitp 27: Of Shoes, and Ships, and Sealing Wax
Your point being?
Either you looked into shaving your legs before you did it or you didn't and if you didn't then you still had no knowledge base for shaving your legs. If you did, me gusta. If you didn't, well, here we are.
Well, I'm not sure how well you've been avoiding people who recognize you and have interacted with you in the past, but at least for the gay bar and LGBTsoc, those are the closest to a place where people have been trained to spot it that you could go, so I hope those aren't what's getting to you.

Re: LGBTAitp 27: Of Shoes, and Ships, and Sealing Wax
Pretty sure that means "I like it", not "sorry", which context would appear to indicate it's meant to be.
People that knew me already, I'm not so worried about. And yes, largely the LGBT lot, because they make up most of the new people I've been interacting with, but the one that really got me was some people from the church I've just started going to, who apparently worked it out almost immediately.Quotebox

Re: LGBTAitp 27: Of Shoes, and Ships, and Sealing Wax
Thank you~ Purple is my favourite colour.
Hmm. I'm not really sure. Cause in the ideal case sexuality and gender as such would be something that isn't stigmatized, so coming out would be a way less big of a deal? Like, one of the big stressy parts is that you don't know how people would react but in a more accepting society that whole worry would be a lot less too.
Hmm.
The thing is also, reproductive rights don't only affect cis women either. Stuff like how trans people are still forced to get sterilized if they want gender recognition in a lot of places (Belgium sadly being among those) falls under reproductive rights too. Here's an interesting read on it.
I don't know. Like, I shaved (my face) on Monday for my psych appointment and then when I tried to shave again Wednesday it hurt a lot, even though I was using a razor I had only used once before, used shaving cream and applied an anti-irritation thingie afterwards. It's just, shaving just seems to hurt a ton no matter what I do, which makes the whole deal so much worse. :/
Mrr, what makes you get that impression? Ugh...hmm, maybe try asking one of them in an appropriate context? :<

Re: LGBTAitp 27: Of Shoes, and Ships, and Sealing Wax
Actually, I'd suggest exactly the opposite. Try and accustom your face to it so you can shave more often. Shave religiously every two days until you can manage that without pain, then start shaving every day. It'll hurt at first, but the more frequently you shave, the easier it gets, both because you're taking less off each time and because your face gets accustomed to it better. I'm now at the point where I can, and occasionally do, shave twice a day. I normally don't bother, because I can't be bothered to spend that much time shaving. But on the occasions that I do, I get a noticeably easier and more comfortable shave.

Re: LGBTAitp 27: Of Shoes, and Ships, and Sealing Wax
I definitely understand that. Maybe try a sharper razor? What kind do you use now? Also, using some sort of shaving cream works wonders. I use my wife's leg shaving creme, Skintimate "Sensitive Skin" shaving creme, on my face and it not only helps TONS with helping my skin coping with being shaved, but also keeps it smooth longer.
What I do is get a LOT of the creme, put it on my face, and then go over my face once with the hair. Then I re-apply the creme, and go against the hair. Then I re-apply one more time and go over my face again, usually against the grain. Now, while shaving, don't press down too hard, and if it starts to sting or hurt to shave a certain area, stop. Bascially, if it hurts to shave a part a certain way, find another way to shave it. That's my advise, for what it's worth.........which probably isn't much

Re: LGBTAitp 27: Of Shoes, and Ships, and Sealing Wax
@Coidzor - my point was that I think only one person in this thread has expressed any lack of knowledge while everyone else has asked for advice on re-applying a skill. The only injuries seem to be a bit of razor burn here and there, which is completely normal for a lot of people regardless.
Calling it endemic to the thread was over the top - rather than criticising people for posting their problems repeatedly, why not link to some helpful resources if it bothers you so much?
Speaking of: Cycling forums have quite a few good guides for men. Here's a video too.
Be careful shaving against the grain as it can cause more ingrown hairs though.
I use two electric razors and three manual ones to shave, which might be a bit excessive, but it works. Many electric razors have a flip out pair of clippers on the back that can be used to buzz those stray one or two hairs rather than chopping at them with a manual blade.
@Celtic - I sometimes get pretty messed up skin and I shave daily. If I don't shave I get dysphoric. I'll take the chance of razorburn over dysphoria
@Helio - have you done any work on vocal training or body language?
Voice training is probably my biggest issue at the moment as I have a very low voice and a tendancy to go lower when inflecting. Dead giveaway.
Stuff like how much you use your hands when you talk, inflections at the end of sentances, eye contact and even the choice of idioms are wired into people's brains as triggers for 'male' or 'female'.
Doing things to create illusions with your clothing can help also. For example you can see above I make a plank of wood look like Christina Hendricks, so it'd be in my favour to wear things loose around the hips with a structured waist and a wider neckline to trick the eye into seeing a more female figure.Last edited by Zorg; 2012-10-11 at 12:05 PM.
