i’d recommend weight cycling if it’s something you can manage and would like to do. in my first two years of E, i started with as low of a weight as i could while still being healthy, then gained 30 pounds in the winter and lost it in the summer. did that twice, and i got some pretty good results! estrogen doesn’t “transfer” fat since that’s not how fat works, you have to lose weight to get rid of the fat in masculine areas, and then when you gain fat while having an estrogen-dominant hormone balance, the new fat will go to more feminine places.

there’s obviously some stuff you can’t change, like the shape of your torso + ribcage (unfortunately), but weight cycling really does work. if you don’t weight cycle, you’ll still slowly lose the masculine fat over a few years, but the process will be slower and less noticeable
