silver lining of not being on hrt is that it makes moving much easier since i've still got my unearned testosterone strength, and i'll probably still have when i finally move out on my own for the first time. after that i'm kinda fucked, as is the rest of my family (my dad is getting older and my brother is unreliable/has health issues)
Losing muscles was the one thing about HRT I didn't like. Just got back from the gym though. I won't stop until my ass claps register on the Richter scale.
I was too. Luckily I was naturally strong for a guy, so my base layer of muscle ended up being strong for a woman.
It just sucks to be used to your body feeling a certain way and then losing that. I was used to being able to carry two 50lb suitcases up 30 stairs without working out.
I didn't really mind that much but the chronic pain made it way worse =) I would not have let 15 year old me make decisions about my muscle mass, lmao. Even as a skinny kid I was wiry, was rad...

I was stupid enough to let all of my upper body atrophy. Regret.
