Kind of crazy I'm already at the point with electrolysis where I need to pause a while to check for regrowth. Will miss seeing my electrologist for a bit
I guess arm hair clears better than face.
Femininity, surgical scar, reflecting
One thing I have been very apprehensive about is the future scar on the graft site (forearm). There's nothing unfeminine about having any kind of scar, but of course that doesn't stop the brainworms.I've been doing a lot of reading and looking at examples of healed arms, but I keep running into an issue. These are pics of trans masc people healing - understandably not feminine lol. My image of a healed graft site has been a bit distorted because of that.
The good news is that started to change over the last month. An unexpected benefit of electrolysis this go around has been seeing my own arm become red and bumpy for the rest of the day. I'm still able to see my arm as feminine in that state, which is a good sign! It'll be much more intense in the future, but at least I'm starting to feel a bit better about it.
I have a lot of blotchy scars on my arms due to not taking proper protective measures to prevent weld spatter from hitting my skin, and then I wouldn’t let it heal due to bad habits, regardless of people warning me. Nowadays I recontextualize it as a form of self harm, a side effect of my apathetic nature back then.
Eventually I may get tattoos to cover those spots up, replacing it with art
That's a great idea. I've actually seen some really cool sleeves that totally transform the scarred graft site after healing. If I were into more into getting tattoos I would definitely consider it.
Do you have any ideas of what art you'd like?
I don’t have any tattoos yet, but I think a tree that branches out from my torso to my arms would be cool. I’m too broke for that atm though and have to focus on my transition goals first
