Do Shoulders get less broad?

Everyone has been telling me how big buff and manly I will become and its freeeking me out. Will all of that be fixed or changed with hrt? Will my shoulders become less broad and how long will that take.

I saw a M/F transition pics. Before she looked like a body builder. Huge arm muscles, big neck, wide shoulder. After a little over a year you would never believed she was even a man. After seeing a whole bunch of video's on youtube I can tell you hormones do there job. Not as fast on some people, but in the end you will look like a girl. And remember beauty is in the eye of the beholder. All woman are beautiful in one way or another. It would be really bad if we all looked alike. Wouldn't you say? I have no idea what I will look like and really don't care to much. Because I know I am a beautiful person on the inside and my outside will just complement my inside. Love thy self.

Probably not a whole lot. Bones don't change. There will be some muscle loss that will make them look narrower.

That is my experience....

The bones are a constant.....

BUT! Depending on the fat and muscle that you have in the upper arms and shoulders, there can be a lot of difference...

There was in my case....

It was a combination of losing weight and losing muscle mass....made a BIG difference in me!

Good luck!

I have the classic male "V" shape. Wide shoulders and narrow hips. 28inch waist and 44 chest. Ugh!

When I started hormones I started a diet. BIG MISTAKE!!! Huge. I lost the weight, all fat. Instead of the muscles coming off, the fat wasted away. My whole life I tried to accomplish that and when I didn't wNt it, that's when it happened.

I started a high(er) fat diet and lowered the calories.

After almost 4 mths I have lost some muscle mass in my arms. My legs are still huge, always will be, but I'm a biker so I'm good with that. The shoulders.... Nada, goose egg, zero, still huge. They do not sell 44a cup bras.

I can only hope.

Just a quick note for girls with wide chests-they do make bra extenders which hook onto the end of a regular bra and make it several inches longer. Makes all the difference.

Uhm, yes they do sell 44A bras. Check out the Glamorise website.

With the added fashion sense :P you will get from HRT, (Not Really!!) you will find plenty of cute outfits that will de-demphasize your shoulders, which will not skeletally change. Blouses with interesting necklines showing off your upper chest area with your new boobs hinting out will pull the eyes off the shoulder breadth too. Along with the clothing, your hairdo will also pull attention from your shoulders to your face, with a sweet lovely smile on it. Thats just how it is.

Your bone structure won't change but the musculature can change in such ways that you seem less broad. Reduction in your lats and delts would help with that.

      My mom has been more accepting of me being trans lately and even promised i could get a binder if i pay with my own money. The preferred name is still an issue. So far my mom, close friends and brother know i identify as trans but no one else does. I recently told mr grandparents about my partner and explaines the perferred name as a nickname they prefer to have. Luckily everyone who knows is accepting but i feel like i still have so much progress to make. Started getting more uncomfortbale being reffered to as my deadname and she/her in public. My therapist is getting me a trans pin for my birthday next time I see her. I have hop but sometimes I feel like the goal is so far. HRT and top surgery are things i know i want but there has been warnings given to me about the problems that come with it from the ones that have accepted me and I trust most. Mainly from the adults in my life that know, also been getting nervous many people dont see me as a man but i also go to an all girl school. being consistenly reffered to as women has started to get to me and have had urge on several occasions to write perferred name on paper. i dont think pereffered name can go into school system due to being catholic school and for graduation diploma we have to contact the person in charge and ask. I just need some advice on what to do, I am thank ful for the advice everyone had given me, made me feel better about future and hope that I can transition but also worry about familial ties and affect. due to most f them being born in the 80's and 90's and not taking it well originally mostly based on my moms reaction. I love my family alot but how they might react is scaring me. my mom still donesnt want them to know. I know they love me but when I eventually come out and medically trasition in several years hopefully, what will happen? there are little kids in the family and I already dont see them a lot, how would their parents react? what would they say to the kids? I know my aunt would not take it well due to political belief and warnings from cousins.

      Maybe.  But they'd probably resent being required to do it.   IDK.  You have to show ID to register already.  And you have to be registered to vote.

      Hah! Woke up the Red Scare!   I’ve never read Marx. I tend to believe in the inherent goodness in people. I let their words and deeds change that. Insisting people are immoral/less than/should not exist, stripping them (or keeping them from) human rights, is an a most basic example of true evil. What evils do LGBTQ+ people present simply existing? How does the Right justify their crusade against us? What justifies the manufactured fear and loathing they spout every day about us?

      Congrats on the new addition @Ivy I have the opposite I have 4 grandson and a granddaughter. 3 of whom are visiting this weekend. I am feeling better. I think the biggest thing is that I got some much needed sleep.   Well gotta go and speed sometime with the grandsons.   Kymmie

      I saw this concert in which it is said that the famous phrase of Jon Landau "I saw the future of rock and roll and his name is Bruce Springsteen" comes from that night. By the way Bruce opened for Bonnie Raitt that night and she was the better performer . . . just sayin'.

      Astronomy and astrophotography.  I have done a few public presentations on the subject and could most likely wing it for an hour without putting you to sleep.   On the other hand if you need a sleeping pill, I could also talk for an hour about flying and you'd be out cold.

      Please consider joining us, even if it's just for a few minutes to see what the meetings are like. I've learned so much, had so much fun and gained confidence in myself just by being a part of this amazing group of people. It's a low key, no pressure, non-judgmental chance to just be among people who are supportive, understanding and affirming of each other.    I'm travelling out of state and still planning on dropping in for awhile.    Come see what it's like!! 
    • April Marie
      Thank you, Susan!! It was such an amazing experience for me. I can't remember if I even talked about it on a Zoom meeting.   Here is the link to the post I made about it. And, again, thank you for helping to give me the courage to do it.
