OMG thank you so much that was so kind and informative πππ
And yeah I agree having people that know about your gender identity tell you that you look fem without justification feels like they're just trying to please you. In that sense not being out as a trans woman is great because people comment on your femininity and you know it's genuine even though it can be used as an insult (call me a lesser man I'll nearly enjoy it lmao).
And yeah hang in there Hugu it's not easy, I'm sure you'll look the way you want soon enough!π Can I ask if you are considering HRT?
Really kind comment, thanks a lot! βΊοΈπ
Yeah, I am considering it, when I get some more financial stability.
Specifically, about a new-ish (read: not very well researched yet) hormone, which has estrogen effects all over the body (and mentally), except the breasts where is produces significantly reduced growth (I think F1nn5ter is using it for his transition and was talking about it, though I didn't learn about it from him so I don't know what he said). (Imma look for its name later, and come back to write it if it's hard to find)
I think it's SERM's, sounds cool! Good luck on your journey :)
That is correct, I remember the discourse and comparison between raloxifene and tamoxifen. Their existence sounds very cool.
Thanks a lot!
