But what I want more than a sex-change, is to fix my face. I want nothing more than to remove my disgusting facial hair that looks gross and savage. And I want to look pretty and attractive in the face. So help me fix my face, this is my greatest wish. And I don't want to look like a manly man, I want to look like a female in the face.
Would recommend laser on the face if you won't want the hair, providing your hair is dark and skin tone light, although some places can do laser on darker skin tones. Although I am transitioning (but at a glacial speed) it made a massive difference for me in not having to shave every day and not having obvious stubble as it just left the pale hairs. It's a lot easier to get hair removed pre transition but even if you have no plans to transition it does affect how your face looks somewhat not having obvious stubble. If your hair is unsuitable for laser then electrolysis will work on any skin/hair combination but takes a long time and whilst it is very expensive vs laser it is permanent though whereas laser is usually only described as reducing hair.
Short of hrt or estrogenic supplements and/or surgery there isn't much else to suggest. Loosing weight can also make a difference to the shape of your face but it won't affect the underlying7 bone structure.

P.S on the transitioning note don't ever rule it out I did for ages and whilst i will never be super pretty I get misgendered enough without any effort although that is after nearly 30 months hrt.
Unfortunately I don't have very much in terms of money. I also have social anxiety, and getting laser would require me to go out in public which I very much avoid doing.
One thing I am certain of is my facial hair makes me look ugly and disgusting. Another thing I am totally certain of is I hate shaving very much, and hold no love for the whole ordeal of putting blades upon my savage stubble.
I hate looking like a neanderthal, but I have two worries. Mainly, I am afraid of surgery. Secondarily, I am afraid of getting punched in the face. However, statistically speaking, if I live my life as a neanderthal, chances are I will be more angry and prone to start fights. Therefore, statistically, I am more likely to get punched in the face, as a neanderthal. However, if I do get surgery, then being punched in the face may be far more devastating. Perhaps a visor is the answer.
