Question:
I returned from Dallas yesterday after my eighth session at E2000. My
eighth facial clearing took less than two hours, or less than five percent
of what my very first clearing required more than two years ago. After
Ticia finished my face, I let her do more work on brows, hands, and chest.
Ticia had asked me to present at least five days of growth for this session
(they normally ask for three days). On the day before, I went into a Conoco
station in the small town of Calera, OK with four days of facial hair growth
and no wig to cover my head. Even so, as I started to enter the men's room,
a man came out and upon seeing me, he pointed toward the women's door.
So now I can't pass as a man even with four days of beard growth. I
interpret this to mean that my 116 hours of facial electrolysis at E2000 has
been successful, and that I am ready to pursue other things. I could
foresee returning to E2000 once a year or so to zap the very few remaining
facial hairs and do some more body work, but from here on out, electrolysis
will be a lower priority.
Indeed I have already begun to pursue the next phase of my transformation.
Apollo has already ordered my custom hair replacement, and I am set to
receive this in 40 days from now on November 8th. Then I will really be
unable to pass for a man!
When my gender issues first surfaced back in 1998, I wasn't sure if I could
really do anything about them. How would I afford to do all of this? There
was no way I could go full time with this dark beard shadow on light skin.
Transition seemed to be something that was many years away. I would have
been amazed if I had known what I would accomplish over the next four years.
Now transition looks like it's a matter of months, not years. The trickiest
part of all of this still lies ahead of me, and that will be finding
employment in my preferred name. I consider this to be more significant
than any surgery. While I am concerned about being able to find work in the
name of Sherry, I am also excited that I will soon take on this challenge,
and when I have met this challenge, my reward will be the freedom to be
myself all day and every day.
Answer:
Yes, I have paid about $12,000 altogether for facial electrolysis at E2000.
That doesn't count the expenses for motel rooms, time off work, or traveling
there.
That doesn't count the 45-50 hours of electrolysis I had from a local
practitioner here in Arkansas last winter either. Several friends had
strongly recommended her to me last year, and after four clearings at E2000
I started to see her weekly. Six months later I still required the same
amount of treatment time per week, and I was getting pitted around the
eyebrows (an area that E2000 had never worked on up to that time). Upon my
return to E2000 last May, it seemed that my local electrologist had killed
few if any hairs.
