That is some major bullshit from your therapist.

Enjoy your hormones! Muscle girls rock <3

Congratulations: you’re growing boobs! :3

Oh, hello! And welcome :)

Do you know the concentration? That is, how many mg of estradiol you are using?

I wouldn’t expect to see much effect from E per se at three weeks, especially if it’s a low dose, but one of the first things to look for would be nipple sensitivity. If your T is suppressed, you’ll get a noticeable drop in libido and body odor pretty quickly.

Well done! You’ve got the hard part done now <3

Heyyy! Nice to see you again <3

And you changed so much since the last pic! Ahhh, you’re so pretty!

*hug*

Thanks for sharing! It’ll be OK. You don’t need to rush.

Ohhh yeah! And another mammoth runtime.

Egg me spent many happy confused hours watching her channel. What, this? No no no, it’s not trans content, it’s philosophy! I’m certainly not interested it in that way. No, not me!

Good for you!

40 y.o. ex-egg here, married with a daughter. A little over half a year into transition and things are workIng out ok so far.

Probably depends on the place, but the one I went to supplied an extra-long stud (for ease of cleaning) in a choice of 12 colors, silver, gold or clear. They’re really tiny so not too ostentatious. I went for purple :3

Now I get to look at all the jewelry shops I’ve been avoiding when I go to the mall!

I’m planning on getting my earlobes pierced in a few weeks too

Yesss! Dooo ittt!

(I’m actually on my way home from the piercing place right now! +100 Girl Points and I’m in a great mood)

Awesome! Better out than in!

Sorry to hear you were forced into it; I guess you weren’t hiding it too well? :3

I know what you mean. Sad, though, that it’s such an easy assumption to make, and reinforces toxic masculinity.

Hello!

It’s been a bit of an anxiety of mine that cis women wouldn’t see me as a woman, but as a kinda creepy guy…

I have the same worry, despite great experiences like yours being accepted. Here’s what I tell myself:

Having grown up around men being creepy to and about women, it’s natural to be a bit wary. But that’s not you. I’ve met quite a few pre-transition MTF people now, some of whom appeared very masculine, and it’s immediately apparent that it’s a non-threatening interaction. I guess it’s unconscious body language, or something like that. Men being creepy tend to seek attention from women as a man.

Anyway, there’s a group of women friends I meet up with from time to time (since well before I hatched) who were the first non-family I came out to. They’re so accepting and affirming, I usually end up in happy tears at the end of the evening.

Still (probably irrationally) scared of using the women’s bathroom in case I make someone uncomfortable, though.

Hi gorgeous! <3

Ah yes, I know it well. The “I’m only into cute shit ironically” → “I’m secure enough in my masculinity to dress in pink” → “I’m a girl” pipeline.

• I was bitten by a radioactive lesbian.
• I kept fighting with my wife over the air conditioning.
• To get better at karaoke.

Not a doctor, but as far as I know, so long as you’re not completely starving yourself, you’ll develop both fatty tissue and glandular tissue in the breasts regardless of how chunky (or not) you are elsewhere. But excess fat is also laid down in the breasts, so if you’re overweight you’ll also have larger breasts.

Anecdotal, but I’ve been steadily losing weight since just before starting HRT, and no problems here :3

A starvation diet is probably not a good idea, though. Keep eating a good balance of nutrients!

Skinny girls can grow breasts. And it’s not as if eating to excess is going to make them grow faster (although higher body fat will make everything bigger).

Oh my, right in the feels 😭
