hi! my partner and i opened an #electrolysis practice in minnesota!
we offer pay-what-you-can sessions, making electrolysis more affordable than at any other permanent hair removal location. we have already been able to treat clients who would otherwise not have been able to afford hair removal.

however, we currently only offer electrolysis. we really want to offer laser hair removal, because the majority of trans women in the area need laser first, but machines and training are expensive. we plan to pursue a business loan next year, but we want to crowdfund as much as we can prior to taking out a loan. for anyone unfamiliar with the process, laser can take care of dark, coarse hairs on lighter skinned people. it is significantly faster and because of that, less painful overall.

feel free to ask any questions! a few donation venues:

BEGIN TRIP THREAD WOOOOOO I’M GOING ON A TRIP FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE

MY FIRST EVER #TRANSONTRAINS POST!!!!!!

the train in question.

had the gayest, straightest, most pansexual ass day across two states and DC.
absolutely smitten

i somehow got a sunburn

four letter word that describes me: rebel

I just got my birth certificate back from Wisconsin. It was so scary to open. Name: MY REAL NAME! Sex: FEMALE!!!!!!

I legitimately cried happy tears. I am so so excited to have this done. It was the last big permanent thing I need fixed. #trans #transjoy

Just putting it out there that I still have a room open in my house that is move-in ready, and it even comes with a day bed if desired.
Anyone who is trans or queer and looking to move to a friendlier state, please dm me. I’m in central MN. I will likely be trying to sell the house around May or later next year, but would be happy to continue being roommates somewhere else if we vibe!
Boosts appreciated, ask any questions you have :)

also if you can think of anyone in your life who may be interested, feel free to screenshot the post and ask them what they think, and I’m happy to text them directly about details

Hi Mastodon! I’m Alice! I’m a #trans girl in Minnesota and I’d love to meet more trans women in the area or the world! :) I’m in great need of community right now, so please, don’t hesitate to reach out!
Also, this is my face reveal post.. offers for marriage will be considered. tee hee

@GreenFire @augieray @underpantsgnome @zleap I’m voting for Biden btw, don’t get me wrong! As a trans person it would be insanely stupid to not vote or to throw away my vote on anyone else. I risk losing access to HRT with trump.

@benroyce @GreenFire @augieray @underpantsgnome @zleap that’s my strategy absolutely, I’ve been contacting representatives and voting every single local and federal election. I’ve volunteered for the local nonprofit that advocates for RCV as well. Unfortunately a measure failed to pass the MN senate about a week ago. Even dems are against it sometimes, and they’re really holding us back.

@augieray @GreenFire @underpantsgnome @zleap how is choosing between two evils a success?

@GreenFire @augieray @underpantsgnome @zleap yes, the fact that we have to strategically choose candidates based on one or two of our biggest issues means that we will necessarily be electing candidates who we likely won’t agree with on many other issues. Ranked choice or approval voting helps fix this by widening the potential candidates without making strategic voting (the spoiler effect) the reality of every election.

@underpantsgnome @zleap @augieray I think you have your analogy backwards. If you drive, you can’t complain about traffic - you’re the problem. If you smoke, you can’t complain about smoking - you’re the problem. If you vote for idiots - you can’t complain when they get into office. If you don’t vote - you can’t complain when an idiot gets into office

@underpantsgnome @zleap @augieray I think that’s a systemic issue and not an issue of who people vote for
