I’d love to learn more about the science behind taking E, do you have any anecdotes or links to info? ❤️Thanks

st0nefemme:

Yeah! I have some cool sources here! 

My personal Experience:

I have been on estrogen’s for a little over a year. Main changes include soft skin (seriously almost immediately my skin became softer and held moisture better), differences in fat distribution (breast growth/thighs have formed cellulite), and thicker hair. My shoe size has also oddly shrunk but that’s not totally normal so don’t count on it! I started when I was 15 and no matter what age you are, you will see physical changes with hrt.

Medical Overview of E (+ how it affects change w/ age):

More: 

If you want to find out more about hrt there are some great discord servers and sub-reddits specifically about transgender health! I personally used reddit a lot during my journey of  finding out if i really wanted hrt and remember no matter what they may under go for transitioning, a trans person is still trans!
