why do I keep taking estrogen even though I don’t want to be a woman anymore

Probably cuz you like the effects of it?

Im in the same boat. I accepted that I’ll never pass but I like the fact that my face looks cute and I don’t have any muscle.

im kinda in the same boat. the mental effects make me much more social and open and less cluttered and more active. without it i drop into a mess.

Cos literally all modern humans in the developed world have dumpster fire endocrine systems.
That’s always been my biggest gripe with the egg_irl peeps that say
>neurologically transgender
and
>estrogen/testosterone treats you otherwise you’d feel bad and since you don’t feel bad ur like achshully trans

Because really no cis people have functioning and consistent hormonal environments and probably haven’t in their entire lifetimes lol

why would levels on hrt be more stable tho don’t you still have natural hormones on top of that

>>40071490
I mean if you’re injecting the same amount at the same time every day and taking androgen suppressor… I know I’ve seen people bragging about having triple the levels of estrogen of a regular cis girl here.

>>40071530
I thought high estrogen makes u insane tho and there’s no difference in feminization. Like pregnant women have insane high e

>>40071557
Well they literally use HRT to treat depression for cis women, women have more dopamine-related mental illnesses to begin with though (not sure why)

>>40071614
That’s only for menopausal women, and yea p sure the large majority of antidepressants are prescribed to women I don’t think there’s any reason to believe estrogen has an antidepressant effext

Maybe SSRIs are methadone to estrogen’s heroin?

You looking for a boyfriend?

we should openly discuss the fact that estradiol is an addictive substance that has empathogenic & anti-depressant effects.
besides gender dysphoria, it's already showing effectiveness in treating autism, trauma and other neurodevelopmental conditions for people presumed male at birth.

detrooning is difficult
doomed if you do, doomed if you don't kind of situation
