So as an older woman I am growing a beard. Even on the neck. Kaiser Permanente provides electrolysis for patients with gender dysphoria. Catch is you have to have been born w a "testicular body." "Bodies w ovaries" are not qualified to get this gender affirming care.

So even though my beard is causing me gender dysphoria I am being denied equal treatment based on my sex. I will have to get a referral, be denied, appeal, probably be denied for this life saving medical intervention.

Then I will file a civil rights complaint because as an agender person my rights to equal care are being denied me. Under Kaiser Permanente rules @MattWalshBlog could get a beard removal to feminize him, but because I have ovaries I cannot have my beard removed to feminize me.

It is embarrassing to talk about my beard even because of how deep the stigma is for facial hair on a woman is. My trans sisters will completely understand. I'm willing to take one for the team to get the care I need to live fully as a woman. #TransDayofVisability

I want to clarify that is not me wearing the transphobic t-shirt. She is legend and probably suffers the same way as me however. Solidarity sister! Old pussy and trans pussy both need extra lube, don't be ageist!

I am out in public during my weekly morale lunch and I am running my tongue over my moustache stubble and I want to die. I'm so afraid they are going to misgender me when I get my food. Send thoughts and prayers. 🧔🧔‍♂️🧔‍♀️🧙‍♂️🎅🧔🧔‍♂️🧔‍♀️ I don't want to meltdown at Domino's.

I just tried to track down the image by searching on the words. Don't do that!!! I'm warning you! ⚠️🧔‍♂️⚠️🧔‍♂️⚠️

This is the kind of social mockery I face as a woman with facial hair. Eddie Murphy and his Aunt Bunny.

The tools I use to fight gender dysphoria. I keep one with my makeup, on my desk and next to my bed so when I find an offending whisker I can dispatch it w ease and feed affirmed. I do not however get gender euphoria. What am I doing wrong? Is there special remedial porn to help?

Maybe I can find a hot guy to pluck me?

Working on an image. Not quite there yet. En route!

Getting closer!
