Well i'm male and don't produce testosterone for reasons so i thought i could just take estrogen and become cute trap. or it doesn't work like that? Are there some mtf?

hey yeah I'm MtF. and I'm pretty much envious of you because my body produces testosterone normally, which I feel like has poisoned my body and made it impossible for me to ever be cute. I remember before taking estogen the biggest thing i was worried about was getting ugly boobs but the nice / kinda bad if you have severe dysphoria thing about estrogen is it takes a while. so you could just take it and see how it makes you feel, then stop if it makes you feel worse

>>12830 Yeah i'm pretty sure any mtf must be super envious of me as a "perfect trans" cause i don't have to take testosterone blockers or anything :P

>>12830 also like, the boobs I did wind up developing weren't even that big. I'm mad about it because there are cis men with larger (man) boobs than me, but I'm now in a place where if I dressed like a girl then people will treat me as one and if I dress like a boy, people don't always call me "sir". and everyone thinks im cute and i get hit on by strangers still, so you could say im satisfied

>>12831 it sounds like you have the perfect opportunity to be honest. if i were you I'd try it and see how I felt after a year or so

>>12833 Yeah that's why i'm wondering about. Would have to tell my doctor that i want to stop testosterone which is scary tho

>>12834 if the only reason you aren't doing is because its scary, then you should definitely talk about it. think about how much you'd regret not telling her sooner when you get older, and less afraid of authority figures

Question i wanted to ask the most is if taking estrogen will make significant changes to my looks/face or not? Will i be more nice looking or no significant changes?

>>12836 it did for me, and yes I do feel like I am more nice looking. its one of the things that takes a while but the younger you get on it the better. but I started at 22 and still feel like it got better for me. I think you'll have even better results because you don't need to take spironolactone

>>12836 >>12838 also, I was horribly underweight before hrt which made the effects seem less: a big part of it is body fat redistribution
