    same basically, 21

    i’ve stopped hating myself for it because i didn’t really look different at 17 or 18. i would have needed to cope just as much because of height, face and voice if i started years earlier.

    it’s a matter of either starting in your mid teens when you could still make it, or mid twenties when you actually start to age. for me, starting in the inbetween mostly just brought guilt of having wasted life time

        judging from how many moids around me developed, thats when they loose their good physique, hair, and start looking like straight up men instead of 20yo guys. im sure we would be so much worse off if we started 2 or 3 years later than we did

          i mean i didn’t really look like a man at 22, i still looked young, i remember being told by some other students in one of my college classes that i didn’t look my age when i was only some months on hrt. but that doesn’t really mean anything because it means i won’t experience any changes.

          this is fucking true… also bc i started working 3 years ago, being alcoholic 3 years ago… It affects your face so much

          we arent equal with genetics but you change so much in your early 20s. ig its also why we considered being midshit and oldshit older than now

    Did HRT 17-20 and restarted later

    I guess maybe the length of re-exposure to T would be similar to if I went until 22 without HRT…

    I have lots of photographic evidence of what I used to look like. I recreated one picture and it’s quite amazing how much it has matured, unfortunately prior to this I was oblivious to the amount of difference beforehand. I guess I have a compulsion to tell someone somewhere about this to feel noticed for my misfortune… like I experienced a life altering accident. But the obvious foolishness on my part will probably make everyone totally unsympathetic.

    Looking at existing periods of time where my face was different and I liked it much more and it’s on HRT… What a feeling to bare.

        My boyfriend was like get these vouchers that work like debit cards no KYC. I was like okay and then I bought estradiol tablets and Spiro on in-house pharmacy. I got them off a better site called QHI later.

        I might have done bloods at GP like once… I always felt fine.

        ‘Im not trans’ is what I thought after meeting trans girls… But other than that I’m not entirely certain why I stopped hrt. Also I was definitely too stupid to realise my face still gonna grow… anyway, after eventually becoming terrified of the thought of aging as a man, I ended up back on HRT. What did stopping gain me? Nothing, it didn’t need to be stopped…I got myself the breast tissue already and I think 3 years or Spiro is surefire infertility…so hrt had nothing else permenant to do to me

        I’m 30 now. Around 1.5-2 years ish is when I started seeing boob growth. I feel you on wishing it happened earlier. I hope you start popping off soon. I did the powers method so I think I added prog around a year and a half (bc I think that’s when I found out about dr will powers)
