YSK that apart from not having a car and voting, the single greatest thing you can do for the climate is simply eating less red meat.
My single greatest contribution for the climate is not having children.

Silly meme aside, remember that HRT is not an effective contraceptive. Don't assume you're infertile.

Just trying to help my community, friend. No need to get defensive.
FYI, that is a standard length probe, not short. I'm struggling to find a good picture of the short probes, but the insertable length is about half that of your probes. They're pretty uncommon. Ballet only makes them in size 2 (for those unfamiliar with electrolysis probes, size refers to the diameter of the insertable portion of the probe).
So I still suspect you're going deeper than necessary. I've never had a client where I needed to bottom out a probe on the upper lip like that. On the neck I might. But I am not saying you won't get extractions like this. Galvanic is the most forgiving on depth of the 3 modalities, since the lye will flow to the target area anyway. But you are at less risk of puncturing the bottom of the follicle if you go a little shallow vs a little deep.

It's funnier to think this is the whole review, and then you still gave it a 10/10

Professional electrologist here. From this picture, your insertion looks way too deep. Unless you're using half length probes?
Personally, i would never recommend doing insertions on your own face. But I also understand how prohibitively expensive professional services can be, if they are available in your area at all.
If you haven't already, do a depth test on a hair: Pluck a hair, placing the tweezers as close to the skin as possible, and then compare the amount of hair below the skin to the length of the probe. Your insertion should be ever so slightly shallower than the depth of the hair. If your skin is dimpling when you insert the probe, you're doing it wrong. Either bad angle or bad depth.

where are we putting these?
I like to be sneaky. I dont want staff removing them. So I usually do the underside of the toilet seat (for mens room or unisex bathrooms), or the side of the toilet roll holder that faces the toilet.

AITA for respecting my friend's preferences over his trans parent's?
YTA - Your friend is not the one who gets to decide his parent's pronouns. Whether or not "mod" is acceptable is her call, too. Your friend may still need to process this new info, but that doesn't make his pressuring you to misgender her any less transphobic.
His behavior is no different than a parent misgendering a child who comes out as trans.
