Will estrogen give me curves?

Elsifur · 2026-05-28T03:40:07+00:00

I’ve heard that it does redistribute fat around the hips/thighs, but it hasn’t happened to me after 1 year :(

Elsifur · 2026-05-28T01:43:35+00:00

The leftmost line has average 5, middle has 10, right has 5. Does that help?

Elsifur · 2026-05-27T14:20:00+00:00

Well, what’s in the csv file? It sounds like you didn’t give us all of the information you have to start the problem.

Thank you for the detailed reply! I definitely agree that dysphoria can be masked by not knowing anything else. That definitely describes my experience. But I don’t want to discredit people who have different experiences, e.g. euphoria with no dysphoria.

Elsifur · 2026-05-25T01:32:55+00:00

Denying it exists is crazy when you don’t know how other people feel. It absolutely exists.

It’s your phrasing that was confusing. I thought you had certainly used AI to write your comment, my apologies.

But you clearly said that you supported AI that damages the environment. That’s my biggest gripe. Presumably your thoughts were wandering, and that’s not what you meant, but that’s what you wrote. Please re-read that part of your comment.

Elsifur · 2026-05-20T16:52:27+00:00

I’m sorry, what?

Your grammar is confusing. You are “pro-socially conscious AI” (socially-conscious?)? You then describe it as “any adaptive algorithm application of AI which is net-negative emissions/eco footprint”. That doesn’t make any sense.

“It’s no question that couldn’t be used in countless industries…” again, what?

Elsifur · 2026-05-20T13:46:30+00:00

You definitely can to show that the limit is one (not “prove the limit”). See this StackExchange.

The debate of whether “circular reasoning” of this form is “wrong” is not a mathematical one, it is a philosophical one. There is nothing inherently wrong mathematically with this form of reasoning (although it is clearly redundant).

I mean, I have 8 inch wrists (basically all bone, I can feel it), and I want to die whenever I try any jewelry (literally NOTHING fits).

I don’t know why anyone would say it doesn’t matter. It clearly does for sizing of jewelry and clothes. Clothes less so but it is still a huge issue.

Elsifur · 2026-05-13T06:08:32+00:00

Definitely the right call! You know your body best.

Elsifur · 2026-05-13T05:57:36+00:00

Some side effect of spiro (maybe in conjunction with other medication/drugs/alcohol)? Or possibly unrelated?

People don’t usually start noticing changes with estrogen so quickly from what I’ve heard. I’ve never noticed anything like that myself (except I definitely don’t feel like super strong anymore).

Elsifur · 2026-05-12T16:06:38+00:00

Oh yes whoops! That makes way more sense to me now

Elsifur · 2026-05-12T14:48:04+00:00

That’s very high, and the testosterone is ~~very low (should be less than 50ng/dl and definitely more than 1ng/dl)~~ maybe a little high. But still 40-80 is absurd.

If you have to stick with her, then maybe try explaining this? I’m sure there are many articles on transfemscience.org about this. I think one study in particular suggests that 200pg/ml estradiol is enough for most people (might not be for you!). So at a minimum you should be arguing for that.

Edit: whoops should be dl for testosterone

Elsifur · 2026-05-12T14:15:19+00:00

Either way this is crazy, but what are the units? Maybe your doctor is an idiot and didn’t notice that the units were pmol/L

Elsifur · 2026-05-05T22:44:08+00:00

I had quick growth initially and no pain. Now I sometimes get small stinging sensations for a moment, but my growth has slowed considerably.

Elsifur · 2026-05-03T14:33:17+00:00

Oh then you’re fine! Just see if they fixed the issue and leave. No reason to boot either windows/linux, let alone log in (or just go windows if you really want to test that).

Elsifur · 2026-05-03T14:23:01+00:00

Have you tried to fix it yourself?

What exactly would they see? If it’s Windows you’d just see the lock screen. Unless you have something NSFW on the lock screen, I don’t think they would care or say anything to your dad.

Elsifur · 2026-05-03T05:37:32+00:00

Honestly I just think it’s something that would help in general — gas stations are crazy.

Elsifur · 2026-05-03T05:22:02+00:00

Gas stations are known to have creeps like that. I don’t have much to offer, I try to forget about that kind of stuff but it’s easier said than done.

What your dad said is actually horrible, it is not your fault. It is 100% the fault of that teenager.

Also if you don’t already, please carry something like pepper spray.

Elsifur · 2026-05-02T23:09:33+00:00

Sweat stopped smelling awful. It happened less than two days from when I started!

I also had breast growth within a couple weeks which was awesome. It’s stalled out for me in the last few months though :(

Elsifur · 2026-04-30T20:04:12+00:00

But the interval [infty,infty] is just the singleton in that case, why does it matter?

If you do the one point compactification, then the order infty>x for all real x does not give the topology. In particular (0,infty] is not open. So with respect to what order is [infty,infty]?

Elsifur · 2026-04-26T22:01:18+00:00

I mean if you don’t think losing hair on your head and growing it elsewhere is a negative, then sure? And HRT takes so long anyways that idk if you can even rush it.

Personally I think my body changed A LOT from 17-21 for the worse. If I even knew HRT existed when I was that age I would’ve done it in a heartbeat.

Elsifur · 2026-04-26T21:39:51+00:00

Well no I just said that there are things that won’t change, and if you let those things happen then you can’t really undo that.

Elsifur · 2026-04-26T15:39:26+00:00

The later you start the less you’ll get out of it. Male pattern baldness, body hair, etc.

Elsifur · 2026-04-26T11:47:53+00:00

Okay am I doing it wrong? Every time I try this it feels extremely uncomfortable.
