I am quite lucky to have met them, I will admit. In a way they helped save me, so I’m very appreciative of them.

Took me a minute to figure out what w2c meant. I think my friend got it from here. This looks like an exact match.
Edit: My friend confirmed it was from there.

Thank you! I haven’t figured out how I’ll accessorize it yet, but you gave me a couple ideas though! I’ll have to start looking at jewelery.

I feel more NB at the moment as I still like certain masc aspects about me, but I feel really comfortable being fem. It gives me the happy.

All of this makes me feel a lot more comfortable with the idea of starting E. Even a little excited.
I have to move to a more welcoming place first, but I’m hoping to do that by this summer. When I do, I’ll look for a therapist and doctor who can help me get started.

Thank you for replying!

Have you noticed much change in your upper body strength? Or have your current T levels helped keep it up? I’ve never been that strong, even with testosterone helping me, so the thought of being even physically weaker had me a bit nervous. I know I can workout to mitigate that, but that isn’t always feasible to do. How long have you been taking them so far? I’m also taking finasteride for my hair, but I’ve been on it for almost 18 months. My hair is still shedding a bit, but I can see regrowth starting.

Those androgynizing effects sound really appealing. Those would give me the big happy.
As for sexual functionality, that doesn’t sound too bad. Now that I think about it, I remember reading in another post someone suggested topical T-gel to apply down there. I believe trans men (and even some cis women) use it go develop theirs. So it makes sense that AMAB’s could use it to maintain functionality. I’ll have to dig into that.

Those mental effects also sound awesome. I’ve always struggled with interpreting my emotions and maybe this is why.
Lady-O’s are definitely something I’ve been trying to achieve but I’ve never been successful. Maybe going on E will be the ticket?

You can take E without anti-androgens? I thought E always had to be paired with some sort of T-blocker. How has your body and mind responded to it so far?
I’m asking mainly because I really want to have more feminine features, but there are still some masc features I want to keep that taking T-blockers would get rid of (my functionality down there, for example). So the thought of going on HRT makes me apprehensive. But if I could keep them, I would feel a lot more comfortable moving forward.
This also has me wondering if I’m trans or more likely enby/genderfluid.

I’ve used removal cream on my face and nether regions. While I’ve never had 100% success with it, it does still make a significant difference. And then if you follow it up with shaving, you’ll have the smoothest shave you’ve ever experienced.

Not OP, but I started growing my hair out in late '22. During Summer '23, it started to look more feminine. I looked in the mirror randomly that summer and I had to stop and look. Because what I saw, for the first time in the 30 years I’ve been on Earth, made me instinctively smile. I didn’t want to stop looking because it just felt so happy seeing how I looked.
And it’s only encouraged me to be more fem. I just need to move to a location where I can safely be me.

I use Mark Cuban’s pharmacy for a prescription. It’s crazy how good their prices can be.
When I started my prescription, I went to a local pharmacy first. A one month supply was $45. But when I looked on Cost Plus Pharmacy, it was $15 for a 3 month supply. And that includes shipping. I quickly changed pharmacies after that.

I shared the pharmacy with friends and family who have prescriptions. They looked into it, but the prices there were nearly the same as what they were paying with insurance. So it wasn’t worth for them to switch.
But if you don’t have insurance, or insurance won’t cover a medication (like in my case), this pharmacy could literally be a life saver.

Edit: rephrasing

For me, it’s the clothing I wear. Like when I worked out, I used to wear standard masc workout clothes. But once I discovered sporty fem fits that I look good in, I loathe whenever I have to wear my masc clothing. I like how I look with fem clothing so much more.
I also started growing my hair out and once I saw how I looked with it, I cannot go back to short hair anymore. The simple thought of going back to short hair makes me feel so dysphoric. Plus the compliments I get about my curls which certainly helps.
