Mae Dean quote-boosted the author that wrote this blog post on Bluesky and I figured linking it here would be useful for my followers, particularly #transfems planning on/currently taking/thinking about taking #estrogen and maybe #progesterone if uncertain about the 1-2 year "maximum effect" thing studies mention, because (spoiler) they weren't long enough: https://stainedglasswoman.substack.com/p/transition-timelines
I'm still kinda mystified I look this much "girl" in a freaking shark onesie. I thought I would always look like a man in a dress. I figured people would make jokes about me being a brick and other horrid things. And yet...I am an undeniably curvy and strangely good looking lady in a shark onesie? What? How? HRT is sorcery.
On days like today, I try to remember to look down and remember how freaking great it is to be me. HRT is magic. Boobs are wonderful. 🤩🥰
This is something that I thought was impossible 5 years ago. I yearned to experience the development of my body in this way organically, to know and feel myself in this shape.
