[Miranda-nata-est]

In many ways, it's no different than being a man 24/7 with a scattering of exceptions. The biggest thing was realizing how often I relied on my physical strength to do things. If I went the full transition route, HRT would see to it that I lose a lot of muscular ability. I tried to think about how I would accomplish certain things if my upper body strength was cut in half. It's striking how much I take that one attribute for granted.

Can I ask whether this strength issue is an absolute certainty?

There are many very strong athletic females out there who are not necessarily amazonian types.

I am quietly wondering to myself whether some of this worry is due to an almost caricatured view of where the 'feminising' will take us rather than an acceptance of the wide range of GG out there.

It would seem likely there would be strength loss and muscle decrease, but how much is the question I guess.

I obviously have no scientific basis for this but was just posing the question.
