Haven't even started first puberty.
I get tested again at the end of may.
if you're 13 you just started
Haven't noticed anything, voice is still the same, no body hair, only 4 ft 5.
I am only intimately familiar with how it works for trans females. Not trans males. For trans females:
One of the first things that happen is random boners will stop. You will start getting breast growth, but how much depends on your genetics. Over several months your skin will start to soften and any acne you have will start clearing up and be prevented. Over a year or so, body and facial hair will slow down in growth. Some people will have some body hair revert to fine, short white hairs you can barely see. But facial hair never will and will have to be removed. If you have started balding within the last three years, it'll reverse. But any hairs lost more than three years previously will be gone forever. And then there will be some emotional changes that are impossible to predict and will vary from person to person. Your belly will no longer collect fat like a magnet, and instead the breast and hips areas will collect most of your fat instead. And most severely, over about a year, your muscles will drop in mass by quite a lot.
Really insecure about my height and voice box.
You'll also lose a tiny bit of height, not much but maybe an inch or so, because your hips will reorient.
If you are still in your teens, your hip bones could change shape. If you're much older than that, they're fused and all they'll do is rotate.
Fascinating.
Looks like becoming Trans won't be my kinda thing 'cause of how much I hate my height. Lol
question, do trans women stay on estrogen the rest of their life? or are they able to stop without their body reverting back after a being on it for awhile?
Rest of your life.
If you stop, your bones will start to... um... fall apart.
That's why older post-menopause women have that happen to them because it's the same thing, not enough estrogen.
ah okay
That's why we have these meds available, they were originally made to supplement post-menopause women.
I've always been curious about that, thank you.
It's also why you can't use patches for HRT. They're not strong enough because they're meant as supplements. But pills are another story because you can just change the dose.
If your body does not have enough of at least one of the primary sex hormones, your bones start to deteroriate.
hi
its already 11;15 i didnt finish my homework yet fuck
The changes will not revert if they stop however, but some male features might return on top of it if you're still producing testorone.
okay
Question: This is completely unrelated, but, do cripples grow less than normal people?
However, anti-androgens permanently reduce your ability to produce it
I don't know about that. one way or the other.
I really don't want to stay 4 ft 5.
Bloody hate my height.
I don't know yet.
I have to see what HRT will do
My face never fully mascuilinized because I have low testosterone.
In any case, I can't afford it.
ah okay and yeah the estrogen might help a lot too.
It's considered cosmetic so insurance won't pay and it's not cheap.
I will need electrolsys.
