So a lot of the changes that are introduced by taking estrogen sound pretty cool. Kinda goes without saying in this community, but I’ll say it anyway, and you can’t stop me.

  • Softer skin (fuck yeah)
  • Bodyhair growing thinner (fuck yeah)
  • New bodyfat gets placed where other women have it too (actual shape-shifting, how cool is that)
  • Reduction in testicular volume (does that mean they won’t be in the way all the time anymore? Sounds great, actually. Fuckers only exist to get squished when I want to sleep on my side. Absolute design flaw.)

What I’m not quite understanding yet is the effects on muscle mass.

Do you lose existing muscle mass?
Do you decrease the potential for future muscle growth?

Or is it both, even?

Either way, I guess I’ll shift more focus to lower-body excercises to counter-act my shoulders. The Glutes are by far some of the most important muscles in the history of humankind, after all.

So anyway, I hope you’re all doing good, and have a nice weekend

    So I was looking through old posts on my old account, and there it is:
    A helpful comment I haven’t replied to. Unacceptable.

    So let me thank you now, better late than never. I appreciate all of you so, so much <3
