Congratulations on shaving, epilating, doing laser, getting new clothes, a new haircut, putting on makeup, getting FFS, bottom surgery, and a vaginoplasty, but all hrt really did was maybe give you a bust and hips, piss alot, and give you a dependence on a medication. So stop calling estrogen magic. - ThreadSky

My hot take is that estrogen doesn't really do anything for trans women. The majority of trans timelines have very, very little to do with it.

So confused on what "dependence on a medication" is even supposed to mean, like is that supposed to be a bad thing??? Yeah you're gonna depend on it, that's how most medications work! That's how my heart meds work, that's how a lot of meds work

hifuulabs.su•81 days ago

Idk. It's just a lot of money for a drug that doesn't really do all that much.

queenothesea.bsky.social•81 days ago

It *does* do a lot, it just takes time to do its thing

hifuulabs.su•81 days ago

Like what

queenothesea.bsky.social•81 days ago

It softens skin, changes hair texture, slows hair loss and can slow body hair growth, give you breats (which take time) and redistributes fat ao you have wider hips and such (which again takes time). There's probably some other things that I forgot as well, but it does more than just makin you piss

It doesn't slow body hair growth, just makes it thinner. Once the hair follicle is exposed to testosterone, it's irreversibly damaged. Hips and breasts are arbitrary, not guaranteed, and take years. All the other things you mentioned are literally nothing in regards to appearance.

For me, HRT has been great (i consider myself a little lucky), but i wouldn't have had the confidence to get new clothes or a new haircut or learn makeup without it. I accepted i was transgender for over 3 years, and in that time i made 1% of the personal progress i've made on 7 months of HRT

Month four and I'm feeling absolutely nothing. my brain is irreversibly, and absolutely ruined by dysphoria and internalized transphobia.

estrogen works over years, not months, and then your dose still has to be in the right spot. me at four months vs me now (4.8 yrs), no ffs or laser. trust the process and deconstruct beliefs that dont help u grow or bring u comfort

hifuulabs.su•81 days ago

it's hard to internalize this. But this reply is very sobering. Thank you

it really depends on genetics and when you transition most trans women don’t pass but what’s important is your personal happines and how other people treat you

hifuulabs.su•80 days ago

My genetics are really bad, especially with my body hair. I might never pass, and that's horrifying.

sugar wax your hair that’s the simple fix but if your truly choped work on voice training if you can get natural sounding female voice you can pass as a hon
