What is the biggest thing I can do to be an ally and support system to my husband, who has started the process of transitioning into a woman? Pronouns are not yet altered. He hasn't decided on a new name. Afaik, surgery isn't on the books, but hair removal and hormone therapy likely will be. I think! He's very early into this, but is experimenting with fashion, wigs, and a silicone breast plate. I want to be as prepared and as helpful as possible, but this is all incredibly new and somewhat intimidating to me, and I really don't always know how to act or think or even feel about things! I'm not scared about the future of our relationship, but I just don't know enough about the transgender community or what transgender people go through. I have trans friends and friends-of-friends but I could really use some additional insights. Any good resources you could recommend for someone in my position?

I didn't find laser to be too painful on my face/chin (thanks, PCOS!). Much like with tattoos, pain will vary based on body location and your own biology, and can also vary based on how hydrated and well-rested/energized you're feeling at the time. It does work very well and I recommend it over electrolysis.
