This may be a contradiction / oxymoron, but reading Alexandra’s post about HRT (and those started by others) led me to think about this. Are there any of us who have started HRT – perhaps low dosages – but DON’T plan on transitioning? Perhaps because we just want a touch of physical change – slightly softer skin, a bit a fat deposition here and there – or want to enhance our female emotional responses, or just to get more in touch with our female selves – yet for whatever reason do not want to live ultimately full-time as women? I may have missed earlier posts that addressed this question, but it seems as though those of us who begin HRT do so with the intent of transitioning.
Or is the use of female hormones – even in low doses – considered transitioning even if we choose to maintain at least a semblance of our male selves?
Thanks,
