I actually never updated about it here, but I started HRT recently! Officially taking testosterone gel, switching to injections soon. It's going well so far!

I feel way more comfortable just existing now, my voice hasn't really dropped but it's beginning to crack and stuff, and overall the Male Brain has made me more social and confident. It's great! I feel like I can finally hold a conversation and not be freaking out in my mind if I'm "doing it wrong" now.

I have patchy facial hair growing in too, thick but still blond patches on my chin, and then just general extra hair on my arms legs and stuff. I found chest hair too which is wild. I also smell like a guy. That might not make much sense but men and women naturally smell different because of horemones, so the testosterone has given me that "boyfriend smell" as I call it, cuz obviously you don't smell a persons natural smell unless you're like sharing a bed with them, duh. I probably won't be able to notice the guy smell on myself forever since I'll eventually get used to it, but it's awesome the subtle changes a hormone can make to your body!
