Parents asked me what I'm doing to look so good - eviltoast

Visited my mom and dad for thanksgiving, and one of the first things my mom said to me was “Wow! Your hair and skin look great. What are you doing differently?”

I am not yet ready for the awkward conversation that coming out will entail, so I had to restrain myself from saying “yeah I just inject e once a week” lol.

I’m only about four months in, but people seem to be noticing positive differences in me. Pretty cool!

    Women generally have softer, smoother skin than men, and produce less skin oils. Oily skin can cause hair to look greasy and unkempt. This effect is caused by hormone receptors in the skin that also control things like body hair growth and pheromones in puberty.
