Veronica,

Almost 2 years, Es but no Spiro, on and off Pro. I had to stop the Pro because it enhances breast development too much and I'm nowhere near transitioning. Testicles have shrunk dramatically. Fewer spontaneous erections, but still get hard sometimes. Sex drive diminished but not gone. I still have a pretty gay mindset and like sex with guys.

But in the long run Es will ruin your penis, and girls like hard penises, so it would ruin your chances of marriage and a family. What if you did it for a year just to feminize your body? I think you would get too used to it to stop. I love my new breasts, but the emotional change has been the most marked. Even though most pop gender lit is way off the mark, hormones DO affect the brain. Quantifying that effect is of course problematic, but one thing I can say for sure is that I'm tearier easier than I was 2 years ago.

OH! And I finally told my doctor! Thank God, she hardly blinked, and asked me all the right questions and ordered all the right tests. I'm so glad that I did it.
