Started a new job working nights as a night auditor for a hotel about two months ago. I was up front with my manager about being Transgender and she was very encouraging to present how I'd like. Been presenting mostly feminine as it seems safe and the company is generally accepting. I had some glitter on other parts of my face that normally wouldn't be there and it appeared caught in my 5 o'clock shadow and I got VERY Dysphoric about it. First time for that I suppose. I hate how fast it grows after shaving 8 hours earlier. I did look quite adorable I would say so my self ^.^

Bring a razor and cream to work. I am not trans bit have issues with facial hair. I did find a great product called 5 minute face, its home electrolysis and it works really well but you have to be consistent. Its a bit pricey but cheaper than a salon.

Use an orange tinted foundation under your correct foundation on the area you get your 5oclock shadow. This will help hide it.

Being paycheck to paycheck makes that hard lol

I’m a cis female but just happen to be very hairy, and yeah gotta shave too and know that feeling all too well. Women for whatever reason don’t like to talk about facial hair and act like it’s not normal but a lot of us have to deal with it. So don’t beat yourself up about it, sis.

There's a story of a French woman who saw a man's facial hair and loudly exclaimed "I could grow a better beard than that!" The man was understandably offended by this, and they made a wager. She won. So yeah, ladies with some fur are normal.

Proud of you! I’m too scared yet to try makeup, especially in public, but I have been doing my nails and that makes me feel good:-)

I LOVE doing my nails. It's so cathartic for me. I'll be doing mine today as they needed a break from the press on's I removed a few days ago. I think Pink and Purple this painting is the call.
