It took me more than half a year after realizing I was trans because I was thinking that since I barely had gender dysphoria, my life might be happier living as male and cis presenting than losing all that privilege and transitioning

Of course, the dysphoria got worse exponentially after realizing and that was no longer an option

I feel kinda dumb for thinking I might've been an exception since it seems like this happens to every trans person that used to not have that much dysphoria

    congrats and good luck!! cat-trans

    im in kinda the same boat— i bought estrogen in like January and im just waiting bc i wanna start bica first and get liver labs. its so exciting and nerve wracking but im happy and i hope its fulfilling for you too!

    this is a great resource for feminizing hrt, specifically methods of estrogen therapy. fair warning, the owner of this group is an anti-communist but she has great knowledge of the topic. she promotes estrogen monotherapy, but researching different hrt methods can help you get the results ur looking for. i chose to use bica (bicalutamide, an anti androgen) in addition to estrogen bc theres evidence bica helps retain penis size/function and stimulates breast growth. also using an anti androgen can help keep ur E levels at what you want

      Thanks for the resource!

      I hope your experience with bicalutamide goes well! I'm sure you already know about the liver toxicity risks since you're waiting on liver labs
