Any recommendations for how to test? I've already grown out my hair and recently got a more 'androgynous' hair cut, but I am wayyyyy too scared and unsure to do anything more in public. When I play with my presentation in private there is an occasional spark, but it is mostly disappointing.
Honestly hormones feel like a potential next step, but I'm wary of breast growth and any other irreversible changes that might happen.
Let everybody get used to a change in hair. Then maybe a change in clothes, different colors or styles. Everybody you'd be worried about the most (as far as people you know) gets used to it... maybe a subtle change in hair color... light makeup use. "Rinse, lather, repeat as necessary..."
As far hormones... there's probably some research and anecdotal stories that can give you some general ideas about dosages of estrogen and how strong/quick of an effect it might have on your mind and body. Probably a whole host of comrades around here who'd be more than happy to get in the weeds about their experiences with dosages and the psychological/physical effects if you ask for advice.
