First Laser Hair Removal - Detransition

[@noahnickerson1308]

i was assigned female at birth but i identified as male for almost 4 years until very recently i’ve felt so lost. i feel like i’m not myself and watching you and your videos makes me feel better knowing i’m not alone. thank you so much for being brave enough to post your story publicly. being able to watch someone going through the same thing is so comforting. thank you so much

[@aliaxismail]

so glad you found my videos! You’re never alone. Just love your life and make decisions based on your happiness solely. Everything else will fall together after that.

[@CEB731]

I am so happy for you...I will keep you in my prayers

[@ghoulseizo8952]

i have the same feeling...i m afraid that im a detransitioner too

[@Babychimichannel]

Crazy. Should see a doctor for your delusions.

[@arugulaempire8779]

You were NOT assigned female at birth. You were BORN female. Stop believing the trans lie.

[@CEB731]

You go girl!!! I am so excited for you...I plan on following you through all of it....You are going to look amazing! God Bless you....

[@kehammer100]

Thanks for sharing! Congratulations on the new stage of your life. I know this is a big step for you. Stay strong!

[@aliaxismail]

Thank you so much!

[@emilyluke6496]

Love your perspective! And your vulnerability. Thanks for sharing! Means a lot to hear your reflection and process. I believe we truly do start to love ourselves like never before when we accept every version of ourselves in appreciation that they have all led us to where we are right now! You should be so proud of yourself for not only having these realizations but for having the bravery to share with others. Give yourself and every past version of yourself a giant hug. Sending you lots of love!!

[@aliaxismail]

Thank you friend!! The inner child work I’ve done has helped me so much in letting go and embracing my authentic self!

[@riverwood5415]

Thank you for sharing your journey. You are incredible ❤ I'm 44, 4 months on T, have CSA in my history and very much think about the fact that this could be my body protecting me, I have to consider that if parts of my trauma heal, my identity could shift, even tho right now T has drastically improved my overall health and well-being and I've never felt better in my life. There's no way to know until you just do. So I'm coming to terms with the fluidity and uncertainty. Ready for all that it brings. Social & cultural norms make it more difficult for us to explore these parts of ourself. You are coursing right thru it. I know you sharing your journey is going to help so many. It certainly helps me. Your couragrous spirit shines through all the vulnerability. And there's power & freedom there. Lots of love.

[@aliaxismail]

Thank you so much! Congrats on starting hormones. I also felt free when I started. Even just being off of them after acquiring the results I wanted helped. At a year on hormones I felt AMAZING! I would have been okay stopping there. Just know that you can stop if you want to and thats okay.

[@jennifergrover766]

Issa, I bet you are going to have great results with laser hair removal. I had it done on my legs 17 or so years ago, and I always say "worth every penny!" It took about 6-7 sessions, and cost about $2,400 in total (back in about 2003). With your dark hair (I have black hair too and pretty much the same skin tone as you), it will work great for you. And they have better lasers now too than back then. All the best to you! :) :)

[@aliaxismail]

Thank you! I’ve noticed a lot gone so far even with the first session. It feels great to even just thin it out and not have it all grow in as fast and thick. That’s made me feel better already!

[@jennifergrover766]

@@aliaxismail Hi Issa! You know, looking back, after each session I would definitely see a difference. And also I just want to say thank you for sharing your journey with us. xoxo!

[@aliaxismail]

@@jennifergrover766 awesome! And thank you for supporting!

[@alexmeira8330]

I love how calm and insightful you seem

No way I also cried too during my second laser session yesterday. Thank you so much for your videos Alia fr

[@valerie362]

Thank you for sharing your journey! I'm a cis woman with a fair amount of facial hair and also shave against the grain. I tried laser once, I used to be the perfect candidate with light skin and dark hair, but it hurt too bad. The little goggles they put on me were full of tears when I took them off. I'm 43 now so have lots of grey and I think I'm tougher but they say light hair is hard to target. Anyways, I totally felt this.

[@mygirldarby]

In my opinion, you're a woman. There's no such thing as a "cis" woman. I really wish these new labels wouldn't be used. Transgender is extremely rare, but this "cis" label implies otherwise, which is why it was invented. Adults who identify as Transgender or non-binary are less than 1% of the population. Even among teenagers who are heavily influenced by the trans fad on social media, only around 5% identify themselves as trans or non-binary. That number falls as they mature and learn more about themselves and their sexuality. So we don't need the prefix "cis" to identify approximately 99% of the population. A man or woman who is transgender can ID themselves whatever way they wish, but they have no right to change how women or men identify themselves.

[@valerie362]

@@mygirldarby Thanks for sharing your opinion? Just like you said trans people can be called whatever they want, so can anyone else. If I use cis in a LGBT space, that's up to me. No one is forcing it on you and she didn't tell me to use it in the video.

[@anattaokonkwo]

Your detransition is so interesting to watch. I just saw your latest video and you look so different after only 4 months! Best of blessings to you! ❤️❤️❤️❤️💖🙏🏿

[@JayThe0]

11:11 that towel is called Micro fiber towel! And yes it’s great for curly hair ☺️

[@lollypokemon]

Just wishing you lots of happiness and good health ♥️

[@issisarmijo1840]

Does transition affect your health? Physical health?

[@Goodtoyrobot]

11:11! I see that a lot recently too. For some reason I decided to check the time just after you said that and my oven clock showed 12:12 - lol

[@minacarroll8867]

I have had laser hair removal on my face and the most important thing is that your hair is dark and yes it is painful ho so painful .it will take time and you might need more sessions than stated but it is very very successful. The journey through life can be wonderful lots of ❤on it .

[@aliaxismail]

Yes! Thank you for the support!

[@Anruiaki]

May I ask you all how much a session cost? I'm thinking of doing this as well

[@norijean3279]

You're gorgeous and you're going to get great results because laser works best on dark hair against light skin. You might need many sessions though, also be careful choosing the proffesional, the skilled one should not give you long term burns.

[@aliaxismail]

Thank you! The specialist I have is really great!!

[@wherearetheavocados7061]

Omg babe girl ur so pretty u need just focus on good things about urself like ur healthy and u have tan of ppl who love u and support u I know this is hard as woman I'm trans woman I just got on t blocker and u don't know how much happier I'm rn

[@WASF2024]

where on earth do you get such low cost hair removal? wow!

[@aliaxismail]

Haha I’m in Michigan! $475 for full beard and body every 8 weeks! I’m actually paying more than some other folks.

[@talks2squirrels953]

Genetic is a thing you can not ignore.. There are people who wish they could grow hair.. Others hate it because it shows in 5 hours.. Blondes and Asians have ever different experiences than Greek for example

[@porshp8941]

thanks for sharing your story. I went to watch your doc and as an empath it seemed there were some interesting moments that were documented which after listening you stand out significantly. Have you watched the documentary again now that you've decided to detransition? There were a few almost foreshadowing comments from yourself and others also I think. Like the doc who gave you the shot without your explicit permission saying "I just did it bc I didn't think you would ever be ready" and also you saying that you were just wanting to be more masculine not a man.

[@aliaxismail]

Yes I have watched in many times! There are some foreshadowing, but that’s what’s so interesting about my journey and life. Sometimes you have to take a step back to realize things and I’m so grateful to have the film to reflect on. I actually LOVE my doctor and glad she did that because I am scared of needles. So she said that for that reason. I was excited and ready for the shot, just nervous because I was terrified of needles! Also yes. I was trying to find my masculinity and due to my experiences and interactions and many moments I thought testosterone would be the best for me. When I started to really register as male is when I felt uncomfortable. but hey, we gotta go through things to really learn more about ourselves.

Why is the water running??? Turn it off omg

Exactly what I wanted to say!

As a Californian, this irked me to no end! Stop wasting water! Don't you know we're on a drought?!😆 Not everyone is in a drought though.

Sweet voice and lovely features dear Issa Lots of luck on your journey Thank you for sharing We have many young Men and Women here in Amman Jordan Middle East who need encouragement Hugs

A lot physical pain...you are brave...just be yourself and happy

Du hast echt Glück gehabt 🤗das deine Kopfhaare nicht ausgefallen sind .ist ja bei vielen so die Testosteron einnehmen

[@Idkjustyoutube]

Believe me while others might hate on you, the other half is aspiring to be authentic like you. I HAVE A QUESTION THO, is it just laser hair removal or electrolysis which is actually permanent? And if so where I’m curious as to where lol cause I need it

[@lavigne6281]

Thats a good set of clippers. What make is it?

[@aliaxismail]

Andis T-outliners!

[@brandoncold1027]

I don't know why some people transition and other destransition, can someone explain me?

[@karenavey2183]

Hi! Why do you need laser hair removal if you stop taking testosterone?

[@aliaxismail]

Because the hair follicles have grown out instead of staying dormant and because of that it will continue to grow out or stay dark and course even if it thins out a bit. I had a super dark thick beard too, so eventually I’d have to get it!

[@karenavey2183]

@@aliaxismail Thankyou, Issa!

[@Purrlow]

PS It pains me to hear you left the tap running all the way through that!!! What a worst of water

[@saraassis3380]

Do you regret transitioning?

[@aliaxismail]

I’m not sure if you checked out my other video first. That explains my journey a little bit better. I truly believe I would not have come to this decision unless I started my transition in the first place. Gender and gender expression is extremely complex. I’m so grateful that I’ve had that experience because it taught me a lot about myself in the world and how I’d like to be perceived. It also gave me a wild amazing experience to walk through the world in the opposite gender. Knowledge that very few can gain in their life. :)

[@David-xh1hb]

Wow, how did you get so much beard hair in the first place? Just with testosterone?

[@aliaxismail]

Yes!

[@diannachamp3888]

I know you said and please correct me if I'm wrong but had your breasts removed, you did say didn't you that you were big breasted and you were uncomfortable with this and now are happier without your breasts but here is the thing at a later time you can go back to your Dr and have smaller implants put in. I'm happy you are coming back to the way God made you to be a women.

[@belma2845]

Shaving - a wierd process? That is why males is not supposed to shave. The beard is there for a reason. And what is the point really to change from being female and not having facial hair naturally and becoming male and get hair growth and then shave.

[@sharisisco]

Souls not roles Ram Das

[@Purrlow]

That’s crazy…how much hair on your face you got from taking testosterone

[@Sain8music]

Rule number one as a man. Never shave above the cheeks. This is why you have hair so high on your face.

[@mygirldarby]

Shaving doesn't cause hair to grow though.
