HI...I am usually allergic to the internet but I need to find information here....so while here I read your thread.

Wow. Your thoughts really spoke to me. I'm super close to starting HRT. The draw is irresistible. But you put some of the pros and cons in stark relief here. Still, I don't see any way that I could NOT proceed. I think you understand; I have to do it.

And strangely, I welcome some of those "problems." But I've haven't walked a mile in those shoes, so...

Thanks so much for sharing.

 I do understand....this is also a time of risk since the death saliance we are all experiencing brings on rebelli0n and obsession...and loads of Confirmation bias based conclusions....
  
 Be careful...the medical profession is limited by the scientific method as it should be...but it is also very fond of money and any way it can get it from you...and the studies on the chemistry are far fewer than one might think....so read as many personal accounts as you can....and mileage may vary greatly

I have no clue what is safe so do not listen to me...I wish I had never started...and I also wish I could stop...I also wish I could answer the riddle of...."if gender is a construct...why take hormones?" 

 Best
