I’m always so tempted to start estrogen but terrified of what everyone around me would think and if I’d like how I look when I transition

Do it. You can always stop but regretting not starting sooner is time you can never get back

You would be really surprised how many people are happy for you when you decide to transition, especially if they can visibly see it making you happier :) people you wouldn’t expect a lot of the time

I’m not sure if stopping would work though right? Wouldn’t the effects already be present?

Depends how long u take it before stopping if the effects are reversible or not. You could try microdosing maybe although I’m not too sure how E works since I know more about taking T

Ask the doc to be sure

most effects of estrogen reverse when you stop treatment. the only one that doesn’t is breast growth. that happens very slowly anyway. smaller doses will make that even slower, so if you start small, you should have plenty of time to figure out if you want to stop:)

ofc talk to your doc and do your research, but sometimes you have to do it scared
