HI, I hope you are well.

I know how hard it is to find reliable information about all this stuff...and good luck with the medical studies.

A lot of people here have been where you are one way or another and if you read through the posts you may be as surprised as I was to find so many ways to walk the same path, divergent though it sometimes is.

There is great reluctance to pass on anything resembling medical advice except...."no...dont do it...stop"...which is the most obvious.

I have encountered many unpleasant side effects from various HRT items the worst being inflammation which can make your hands swell...your breathing difficult...your joints ache and a loss of muscle strength.

Also alarming was a growing sense of dread...and agency...witchcraft began making perfect sense to me. Everything seemed animated in a possibly diablical way. This feeling has only become less annoying over the past couple years...but it never goes away.

I also had bad physical side effects from PM so I may just be very sensitive.

I also had no intention of "transitioning" but I dont think I understood what that meant. Physical and mental tranistioning is not social transitioning. It all takes courage and commitment...and I wonder if you can reverse it once it starts. 

Also seldom mentioned is the role genetics plays in this. If you come from a small breasted people as I do...good luck....although they are uncommonly lovely in general so I never noticed before. 

Anyway, good luck. Never forget the warning in Steppenwolf:..."MAGIC THEATER. ENTRANCE NOT FOR EVERYBODY. FOR MADMEN ONLY!"

Best
Owlie
