Since I've been on Hormone Replacement.....
It is approaching the one year mark now on hormone replacement. Simply put, that means that I've chemically reduced my male hormones and, in replacement, have introduced a female hormone regimen to replicate that of most natal women. The action of doing this was NOT to suddenly transform me magically into a woman. Heck no. I've been easily moving through society now and seen as a woman for a long time prior to my ever starting hormones. It wasn't solely for just obtaining breasts either (even though I realize that seems to be a major aspect or even, for some, a wishful fantasy). No, breasts are another thing to deal with that require yet another piece of restrictive clothing to retain them in their place. Ok, well they are nice in filling out my outfits so I guess, overall, it's a wash. No, the reason I started on hormone replacement was to see how they would affect me mentally and if they would quell the disparity that I have always felt between mind and body
