Each month I get more and more excited about the effects to come. I still feel like they're taking their time to actually make me look passably female, but in comparison to what I looked like before estrogen, I'm in such a better place :D. I know estrogen is working and doing what it needs to do, but I'm not comfortable wearing dresses or anything just yet out of fear of transphobia because I feel like I still look male. Less masculine than I did before, but still male, and that sucks. It's been tearing me down a bit lately. I need 6 months to hurry up, but I'm very happy for the fact that I'm 5 months on hrt :)
- look more feminine now than before
- body fat has started to redistribute a lot more and I'm starting to see the changes. Especially to my chest and hips :D
- my skin is softer, especially my forehead. It's really smooth :D
- fat has started to redistribute around my face which is amazing!
- nose has shrunken a bit!
- I sweat less. It's 36°c (96.8°f for you Americans), and I'm sweating far less than I did in 26°c pre-e
I still haven't been gendered as female by any strangers yet, which sucks. But it's all a work in progress. I'm really happy with the fact that things are moving forward, and you can definitely see changes, but I really do wish it would hurry up :/
