In the months leading up to my trans realization, I was shaving progressively more areas until it was everything below the chin (I still kept the beard of denial though). It was time-consuming and demoralizing and my skin would get really nicked up and irritated with ingrown hairs, and still, if I went for more than a few days without shaving I would get progressively more disregulated and unable to focus until my body was smooth again.
I haven’t done laser on my back, stomach, or legs, but HRT dramatically reduced the hair there. I’m sorry that access isn’t available for you right now.
