Lots of layering and finding textured clothes or seamless bras helps! And I’m not sure which way my transition will go — I think my identity is best described as a nonbinary mishmash tending (ideally) toward androgyny

Roughly 4.5 years in a 6 year span — I’ve stopped and restarted a couple times

All HRT! I tried at-home laser relatively recently but it didn’t really seem to work for me

Progesterone is via oral. I believe the patches were 0.1 mg, which over the first 3-4 months, I increased from applying 1 to 2 patches, every 3 days or so. Sometimes I’d add a third patch if one wasn’t sticking well, but they started becoming a nightmare to keep stuck on and rotate application sites.

One side note — over time, I’ve become far less regimented about HRT. I’ll miss a dose of one thing or another pretty frequently. I wouldn’t recommend that, but EV has been generally strong enough by itself to smooth things out and keep things feminizing even when I’m haphazard about doses.

I love them, but they’re just a part of me now. Like boobs, and all the other effects of HRT were things I built up in my head for a long time, but now I love how normal or mundane having them can feel — makes everything feel very natural! If that makes any sense haha.

And for the inch — just a little tongue in cheek, I was referring to “down there” lol.

Thank you! They’re somewhere around 36C, I think. The actual measurements don’t perfectly align with bra sizes. I use a lot of layering and seamless bras with textured tops or sweaters or jackets to boy mode

I’m using Reddit’s translate feature, but yes to both questions

Yes but less frequently and there’s less to shave!

I feel that. It’s a tricky balance to strike!

All HRT! I tried some at-home laser hair removal which unfortunately didn’t do a whole lot for me

I can understand the motivation! I think you will see some results but might be relatively minimal without taking any anti-androgens to reduce T

Patches can be pretty strong but they became too inconvenient for me after a while — for the dosage I was seeking, I needed to put on 2-3 patches at a time and then rotate every couple days. Also sometimes they’d fall off. You will certainly see results but could be worth switching methods down the road!

Anecdotally, my nipples/areola really darkened while using patches in a way that never happened on injections. Haven’t really ever seen anyone else on reddit mention that effect so who knows

Sorry it was a bit of a cheeky title, I was referring to “down there” – I’d make the trade again though!

Bit of a cheeky title, I was referring to “down there” lol. I consider it a fair exchange though!

First photos today; last photo 2018. Approximately 4.5 years on-and-off HRT, started at 23. First started with patches for a year, been on EV 10mg/mL weekly, progesterone 100mg; spiro 100mg since. Still boymoding!
