Bogus Hrt Claims

[Guest Charlene_Leona]

I'd like to say something here each of us are different and how estrogen works on each of us is as different. I was one of those before estrogen who never developed in a very masculine way. I always had very girly arms, a baby face and even had breast development. When I started HRT my mental state went from tormented to piece of mind. Then when I had my orchi done it only accelerated you can see those effects on my face in this pic Me I had the orchi in July of 2008. Within 13 days of having my orchi my voice started changing, I sounded like a teenage boy going through that change. I was flat out called a liar on another board until I spoke with a couple members on the phone and they heard me. I can't even speak in a deep voice any longer and it hurts to even try.

So please don't shoot down peoples dreams and hopes that's allot of what keeps us going through transition is hope. If you have had a hard time with your transition Tiff it doesn't mean all of us do, I have not. When you say HRT and SRS don't fix all of life's problems it's does fix allot of them like the gender dysphoria, our state of mind and then it gives us a solid foundation to move forward with those other problems our lives have thrown at us.

I have to say this, if you were naturally already goodlooking as a genetic male then you do have a head start with HRT. For those of us that are more masculine looking due to our T levels, we do have more to work with but it is possible to look more feminine over time with HRT, makeup and a positiive outlook. My sister and mother have D cups, does that mean I will have them as well or one size smaller? Actually I'm shooting for double EE's. Lol, just kidding.

OK, I have to disagree with part of this statement. While your bone structure will not change, it doesnt cost so much money it dwarfs SRS. You can get your jaw and chin done for $8000. You can also have your forehead, nose bridge and brow-line done for about the same amount. Most of us girls can get away with one or the other. You don't necessarily need every contor of your face to be feminine because most GGs have some masculine features in their face. Even if you do need a top and bottom FFS, or desire both to to look prettier, it ends up running about the same as the basic SRS procedure.

I can provide some links to doctors who do FFS and their prices if you desire more info.

There seems to be a lot of animus in this thread re: HRT expectations. While it's important to be realistic about expectations, I feel that being this angry/"real"/scary about hormone results discourages people from getting the help they need.

I'm 24, wrestled in hgh school, broad shouldered, and looked like a REALLY muscular dude with a masculine face. After a year of hormones I look like just anothe girl -- broad shoulders, sure, but you can work around it pretty easily with clothing. I guess my point is that while tempered expectations are a good thing, estrogen can do some amazing things for the body.

This is why it would've been wonderful to do HRT sometime in my teens. I woulda been gorgeous!

Ah, what a pleasant little dream.

Here are two pics, from about the same angle. One is pre-hormone and the other is after ~9 months on androcore, estradiol and progesterone. I am 35, and I think the amount of change from hormones is amazing.

Compare apples to apples and oranges to oranges. Here is a link to the prices from one group of doctors at the same location. Notice you can have all the FFS you need and probably more for the price of SRS.

Also, the basic vaginaplasty is rather ugly and not satisfactory for me. If I go that route, I would want labiaplasty as well. I would also want a doctor who has been doing it for years. Dr. White (I think that is his name) is in Thialand, has pic after pic of his work and is renown for his SRS work. The cost for everything for an SRS including recovery stay with nursing for one week is $18,000. The cost for brow-ridge, bridge of the nose, hairline replacement, eyelift, jaw reduction and chin work comes out to ~$18,000. I cannot find the link

but I have it saved on my laptop at home.

Even going by this link though you can see you can have a lot of FFS done for the price of SRS.
