HRT and Your Little Friend

[Midnight Skye]

This is what HRT does according to the LGBT group at Ohio University:

1) Yes to breast growth, but according to members here, how much growth is a crap shoot.
2) No to softer facial features or any other skeletal attribute such as height, size of hands & feet, although the skin will soften.
3) Yes to lessening of body hair (but not facial hair .. you will need facial laser hair removal).
4) Yes to redistribution of fat, but according to members here, only if you have fat to distribute.
5) No to removal of adam's apple.


In addition to the above:

6) No change in voice.
7) Loss of strength.
8) Increased emotional sensitivity, depression not uncommon.
9) Diminished ability to achieve erections and to ejaculate.
10) Sterelity
11) Possible long-term health risks such as thromboembolic disease (blood clotting), and benign pituitary tumors, gallbladder disease, and hypertension..

Thanks Riene. Though there is one more I'm surprised wasn't on there. Slow/stop of male pattern hair loss. This is the biggest one for me. I find it impossible to face growing older and knowing my hair will progressively get thinner and fall out. I can't see not taking hormones as I move to full time.
