    if you don’t start with a large amount of male distributed fat and are on a proper dose of E (and have decent genetics), you’re much more likely to have the new fat gained go to female spots (hips, breasts, thighs, etc.)

    I’d say they have an advantage in the short term.

    Bs, it doesn’t really matter. If you don’t have an awful frame you are gonna look more fem while being skinny, but that isn’t really related to HRT.

    it means you dont have andro patterned fat cells still.

    for me, since i was obese pre trooning my fat distribution changes will take longer. because fat cells dont die when you lose weight. they just shrink. they generally have a lifespan of around 10 years.

    so someone who is underweight will br able to get fat in gynoid areas much faster than i will since my body is going to prioritize filling old fat cells before creating new ones

      Liposuction is the only fast way to create new fat cells it seems

    It depends on how underweight. Anorexia can stunt growth so it may stunt development. Not sure tbh

    Only if being underweight is your starting point. It’s nice to not have male fat you have to get rid of. But you must gain weight to see any significant changes.

    someone went on a tirade about it before on the discord where its like better for skinny for life before hrt people cause they dont have the fat cells in male or female locations depending on starting sex but exceeding the previous makes new deposits but it also changes a bit as cells die if you get skinny for a very long while talking near decade i believe

      Sure it’s good to not have the male fat but if you don’t gain after starting then you’re just permanently stuck a twinkhon

    For pooners it surely works worse if they’re fat, because of fat aromatizing test. As I know it’s better for trans men to be more on a lean side, and trans women to be more on a fat or skinny-fat side
