whether hrt is a miracle or not seems to vary - for me it made my brain work better, it made a lot of stuff click, and I still get gender euphoria on shot day, six years in.
if it’s not right for you, it won’t hurt to try. If it is right for you, you’ll find yourself laughing you ever had misgivings.
Just make sure you’re doing it for yourself. I know this is weird but social pressures to get on hrt exist, and they shouldn’t be heeded without asterisk
absolutely. only get on it if you think you might be better off with it. it also helps to look at it as an experiment, you can try it out and the effects are reversible early on, though of course if you have more complicated desires and requirements talking to a doc would be helpful. for me it felt relatively simple and straightforward, like i agonized over the social aspects of transition but i was pretty certain i needed it. still, i saw it as something if it made me feel worse medically i was willing to stop hrt.
