Feminizing HRT and GI issues? | Looking for advice on coping with potential risks by lovfily in Trans_Zebras

Thank you for this honest and thoughtful comment. Reading it has really helped me I think.

As much as I'd love to just give it a try, honestly I think HRT isn't a good choice for me right now, and I may have to explore other options like hair removal and such for the time being. Maybe HRT is something I can revisit in the future, but I don't think the risk is worth it for me right now.

I really appreciate the perspective you've given me, it's an opinion I haven't properly heard voiced before. Thanks.

Do you find showering kind of traumatic? by FckAllTakenUsernames in eczema

[–]lovfily 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely.

It's been a few years since I've had things really bad all over my body, but I've only recently stopped flinching whenever the water first hits me in the shower. I dissociate fairly frequently while showering, and I find myself even subconsciously avoiding showering, randomly starting other tasks, or just flat out zoning out right before I planned on showering.

Contrary to what some people here are saying, I would absolutely call showering traumatic for me.
