Day 2 of hormones and my head has never felt so clear. 40 years in the waiting.

[teambunnygirl]

By my first week on hormones I 100% knew starting was the right choice. By my second week I couldn't believe I ever lived without them. My skin, my smell, my mood, my anxiety, my ability to think clearly, I had no idea I would feel so drastically better almost immediatly. Estradiol saved my life.

I'm scared of everything. All of the social side effects, family side effects, all of the physiological side effects, sexual side effects everything but when I imagine myself on hormones I find joy. I am taking this year and allowing all of my feelings about transition to present themselves and fully getting into them. I want to understand and groove with this idea. I find myself going back and forth. Sometimes I feel so happy and content with it and sometimes I feel very judgemental on myself. When I told my therapist she was saying that sometimes we take on what society says and the judemental stuff is from there and not from us. If I take that away it just makes me happy thinking about transition.

The biggest fear I have about starting hormones is because I want non-binary transition. I'm bi, but romantically I seem to be able to feel attraction only to males or transmasculine people, and I fear basically not being able to find anyone. Since I live in a part of the world that is very archaic. Even now I experience this loneliness about it, since I have changed my looks and socially transitioned 1, 5 year ago I have lost in so many ways, I became undesirable and I notice it... It hurts. And it feels like stating hrt will only make it worse. I haven't really seen many non-binary transmasculine people who are into masc people ..and judging by the place where I am it seems to be non-existent at all

Hormones have helped me feel like myself. They made me feel so much happier. My brain felt like it was finally in alignment with my body.

My dysphoria before HRT was emotionally like an angry pitbull on a leash & after it was like an attentive Labrador, again on a leash. 🌻

I started HRT in January 2018. I did experience the empowerment you mentioned. The sense of ease and peace was not as noticeable. It could have been my age (51) and/or I had many stressors in my life at that time, which could have hampered the effects of the HRT. What has also helped reduce my dysphoria were the physical changes I experienced later in my transition, and my social and legal transition. The euphoria has increased over time along with my confidence. Thank you and I love your channel.

Ahh that’s crazy, I hit my one month mark on hrt two days ago and while reflecting on what a positive experience it’s been already, I couldn’t quite figure out what it was, but this is it! Thank you & love your look!

[sanniichigo]

I'm still pre-t but I have these glimpses of absolute peace and clarity when I "step into myself" & feel completely aligned with my identity. They're short, usually when I'm under thick layers of winter clothing I like and can't feel certain aspects of my body but they're enough to long for more. It's not necessarily euphoria or being elated, it's just silence in the brain as if I've been anxious all my life and it finnaly stops, completely. Couldnt imagine something like that is possible

[starspinpal]

Dr Z, a very good explanation. Many of us are trying to medically proceed with something that would have otherwise been much more difficult. The hormones are a wonderful thing for starting the inertia of real transition. But those considering HRT should know that physical changes are a slow process. The mental and emotional changes are more sudden - and may create an emotional roller coaster until your body adapts and proper dosage levels are managed by your doctor. I love these posts Dr Z!

I started female hormones in November 2019. Dysphoria sucks. I am going through alot of emotions. What you say is true. The dysphoria is still there, but I don't think about it as much.

[Jocelyn_Jade]

Hi! Seeing this video is what motivated me to start hormones right away. Before I was hesitant, and one day feeling super dysphoric, found this video. Now that I’m on HRT it really does make a difference! There is a mental and physiological click that feels like synchronicity. You really do feel the hormone in your body. It feels so right and awesome!

I am a trans man 2 years on t and ever since ive been on T i noticed my head has been SO much more clear than it used to be. I know some other trans people whove had this experience. I've felt so good with myself as well the changes in me t brought me and ive never felt so much like me than I have ever been in my life than when I started T and had changes from it. It feels so good. I wont lie though, i still struggle though because im in the midst of trying to get top surgery so sadly my chest isnt something that goes away with hormone therapy, so in themidst of purusing that. im currently having a bad moment of dysphoria do to my chest and i just ...i needed some help from someone knowledgable in this area. i will say that being on T though...its made my head so much more clear than it used to be. i feel like so much of a better person than i used to be. i feel so much more hopeful than I used to and happy and in my own skin

[GoddessLadyRei]

HRT is absolutely best thing I have done. I'm a lot happier now. I'm not that depressed anymore. I still have my moments though. I finally have a positive outlook on life and have great hope for my future.

[MarlowAlastairHairtley]

The year and a half I spent on hormones was so fulfilling, now I've been off for 4 years due to closeting myself to feel safe, but finally I'm due to start hrt again and all I can think about is that feeling of correctness

[elsieparker]

So true!!

Before hormones I was consumed by anxiety and depression. I had multiple panic attacks a day where I was overwhelmed by the wrongness of my body. It was hell.

A few days after starting estrogen...that all fell away. I felt at peace for the first time in decades. Sure I still experience dysphoria, but it doesn't consume me like that anymore. There are specific parts of my body that still need to change, but my body as a whole feels right. It was absolutely life changing!

[beebopbug]

I want to start taking testosterone and my family and friends are supportive but I live in such a small, transphobic town where I don't have easy access to getting on hormones and I'm more scared of trying and not being able to access it and what that will do to my mental health. I'm also worried some of my friends don't fully see me as nonbinary as I've only socially transitioned two months ago, and I don't think hormones is within their understanding of nonbinary and I don't want to be seen as fully male either. I just know I won't be socially accepted in public and I'll be seen as a freak for finally achieving the androgyny I desire.

[Skylarpendergast]

I knew after a day of taking E that this was the right thing to do. My brain fog had lifted and I was actually feeling what I felt was true happiness. Something I’ve only felt a few times in my life until I started transitioning 😊

[BlahajBouncer]

Literally one of three good decisions in my life was finally starting hormones at 28 despite my fears. Have literally never been happier in my life. Does it still scare the shit out of me? Yes. Still have huge hurdles to deal with that feel impossible but seeing my feminine side has saved my life and I can't forget that. You're valid even if you don't pass!
