i found some photos of me just before i started hrt and i was so skinny. im really scared that estrogen might be actually making my body less feminine because of weight gain instead of more

my gf says i'm being delusional

considering posting twink and then boymode pics so people can tell me how different it is before and after

depends how long you are on hrt & how cleanly you gain weight & if you can access pioglitazone.

E changes where your fat is deposited yes but about 10% of your body fat per year, so without weight cycling with or without pio & working out, you might just shoot yourself in the foot by gaining in a way that hurts you. This is why "Just eat" is harmful when told to tranners without histories of malnourishment or eating disorders.

i was ridiculously skinny before (not underweight though), so it's not bad for my health i don't think

it's just about how i like my appearance. i liked being a super skinny androgynous twink. i would rather be a woman but i don't want to be chubby :(

"The key effect of estrogen is redistribution: region to subcutaneous areas (hips, thighs, buttocks, breasts). One study saw a decrease in visceral-to-total fat ratio by ~17%
Another found leg fat rose ~50%, arm fat about 24%, visceral fat once again decreased over the first two years"

you know what'll make you fat is SSRI's, so don't take those, just rawdog depression

not to tell you you're wrong, but "ridiculously skinny" is usually bmi 14-16, ie severely underweight. I know bmi 18-19 is very skinny in burgerland but it just isnt noteworthy or a health risk. I am happy that you are confident at a normal weight though!

i say ridiculously skinny as in "people would think i was anorexic". including psychiatrists and doctors.

i think i just have an unsual frame. im really tall and it makes me look way skinnier than i actually am based on bmi
