      Many of the “side effects” of HRT are just the natural results of having the other hormones. Like,

      Oh no, I have an increased risk of breast cancer just like cis women! What ever shall I do!!??

        also by going to another hormone, u will claim ur genetics of female relatives combined from both sides, eg im lucky, and know dad sister, we have similar stuff,

        example: my boobs are smol arent that my hormones are bad or “”“my”“” body is bad, but because aunt and mom have similar small boobs, and as overall poor growth since for now i quite poorly understood it could be driven by gh/igf, anecdotally my mom have lower than “normal for age”(basically dumb lab ranges) igf level, and she is pretty smol, and im have very poor n slow overall body growth despire having peaks of ~25 nmol of T, well dad is isnt very growth too, genetics cant be fooled aaaaaaaaaa

      nah, that myth, often by transmedicalists, basically same as ppl on endogenous hormones, in same way everything depends just on hormone levels, they should be high enough, in same way based on other health problems

    Ahhhhhhhhh I want the juice so bad, got a bottle in my bathroom already :3.

    But I gotta stick to gel for now, because I’ll need a “professional” on board with the switch, so that it doesn’t produce problems down the road.

    Awww, well, happy for you nonetheless :>

      Nobody knows what will happen down the road. This is all a grand experiment to make people feel better about themselves

        Well, the issue is that the system where I’m from might make it harder to get SRS if I don’t have a professional who verifies I’ve done everything the proper™ way. I’m anxious and up to terrified of that currently, depending on my mood.
