So, I just had the realization a few days ago that i'm probably trans. I shaved my legs for the first time today and WOW! Physically it feels great, all smooth and soft, but mentally it just feels RIGHT. Like this is something i should have been doing forever. Its kind of overwhelming for such a small thing, but i just felt like i needed to share this with someone. Now i need to figure out how to buy girly clothes that fit...

Also it look forever and im sure i missed the hard to reach places, so id appreciate any pro tips!

I was overwhelmed when I finished shaving my legs, belly and arms for the first time and ran my hands over my smooth skin and started to cry. I felt so much euphoria. After 2 weeks though I got tired of constantly shaving every 2 or 3 days and the stubble feels so bad. My friends gifted me an epilator for my birthday and I'm so glad that I powered through the pain because now I only need to do it like every 4 weeks and there is no prickly stubble.
