I just got prescribed my HRT today. 2 mg estradiol twice per day (4mg/day) and 100mg Spironolactone twice per day (200mg/daily). Don’t let your doctor bully you into low starting doses that won’t actually feminize you my fellow 🏳️‍⚧️ sisters!

I 100% get what you’re saying but there are safety reasons why you start low and gradually move up in dosages. It’s very standard to start your first month on a low dose to avoid more severe side effects, and move up in dose monthly or bimonthly until you see the feminization effects you want to see. If you have a knowledgeable and trustworthy doctor, please follow their medical advice and guidelines for your safety (and ofc always advocate for yourself)

this! as a trans man who's been on testosterone for almost 2 years, i just very recently started a "normal" dose. i was on what was considered a low dose for over a year because of what was considered safe for what came back in my blood work
