    Been toying with the idea of an E trial period. What kind of permanent changes occurred after 6 weeks?

    🫂 Best of luck figuring things out

      Easy to hide breast buds. I wouldn’t really recommend it. I didn’t really have dysphoria until then. I just wanted to look more feminine and it would be easier for me to wear what I want. Now I have biochemical dysphoria and even though I like my body more I have a hard time figuring out my goals. Use it as a reassurance that it is what you want, not to find out. Also the mental recoil of pausing for the next month or even longer can be extremely severe and in my case even suicidal.

        Sorry you’re going through that. You’ve got this 🫂.

        I know what I want but what I struggle with is whether I want it badly enough to blow up my life. A friend who has fully transitioned raves about the positive mental changes from E and that’s what I’ve wanted to experience even more than physical changes.
