HRT

[john/jewlie]

Hello all

I am fairly new here, and have very recently accepted that I am attracted to mtf tg women. also consider myself genderqueer. (some of both). I have read that Hrt will develop up to a nice b cup breast and enlarged nipples. among other changes. this breast change however is perminant? sounds like just what I truly want!!! of course I about to start therapy. just wanted to hear some thoughts and experience s

xxxooo

No one can predict how much breast development you will experience,  JJ.  A B cup is possible, so is an A or a C.  If your mother was well endowed, that might predispose you to also have good development, but its no guarantee.  If you develop breasts, they are permanent.

 

Starting HRT is a big step, and has its downsides.   Talking with a gender therapist about it is very important, and knowing what the risks are for HRT is also important.  There is good information on this site, as well as many other sites and the WPATH Standards of Care, which you can read online.

Hi JJ

HRT is a real lottery,  different people end up with different results, and you just won't know until you start! After a year I have only just started developing breasts. My buttocks have filled out considerably and my face feminized slightly. Age ,weight and genetics play a huge part. Being young and a little over weight is quite helpful. (I'm old and skinny). For me the greatest change by far has been mentaly. The old anxity has gone and I'm feeling really good about my self. But again this could be different for you....Whilst before HRT, I was attracted to women and this has begun to change, and I find my self being increasingly attracted to men...So who knows? It's been a great adventure thus far!

 

Best wishes

In regards to the physical aspect, my experience has been atypical or aka what was described in the HRT FAQ sheets I was provided and what was described by my doctor during the process of 'informed consent'.

My breasts got large enough that I am happy with them but not too big. The tissue is real and I am still getting used to making sure they don't get whacked by an open fridge door.

I experienced weight gain in hips, thighs, and tummy and the face softened.

I looked at three consecutive years of my busking licenses and in the most recent I noticed the changes.

As far as preference, I don't really know but to answer one aspect of the topic, I have always thought that for me, being seductive, seducing or even fitting into a role of being protected or allowed to be more congruent with my inner gender is something I could fall into and feel comfortable and that might be ultimately easier to experience in a traditional relationship as per either a trans man or a cis dude.

The biggest changes with hrt are BY FAR the mental aspects. The physical does happen. But it’s the mental that really changes. Hrt is nothing to even think about if you’re just looking for physical changes. Get a boob job for bigger breasts. Pierce your nipples and they’ll get larger. But hrt is really a last resort for when your mental health is in ruin and needs to be adjusted. 

Remeber that it’ll make your downstairs much smaller. It’ll make it not work right too. And you’ll become sterile. Plus the crying. The feelings. The sensitivity. Animal sex feelings slow to almost nonexistent levels. And sensuality takes its place. 

Seeing a gender specific therapist would be a good start for you I think. Good luck.
