I wondered if someone would bring up PCOS and I see that Ms. Pragmatism did. I too suffered from an excessive body and facial hair situation, being as I am a trans woman. About 50 hours of laser and 100 hours of electrolysis took care of it, and my hair was pretty light to start with! But it worked, it’s been years since I’ve picked up a razor. Painful and expensive, absolutely the worst part of physically transitioning (but then I didn’t have FFS — Facial Feminization Surgery).
