Hello everyone I just started hrt 2 weeks ago and I’ve come out to all my close friends and my sister but haven’t told my parents. I’m almost 31 and struggled with dysphoria for at least 15 years. And with all the thinking I’ve been doing in the last month I think it is the reason I’ve always been a overweight person cause as soon as I decided to get started on transition I have never been so motivated to lose the weight, I’m down almost 20 pounds in a month. So I’m hoping to find some others that are in the same boat as me or were and could help keep me going.
Hello Josie. Welcome. My name is Jaime. I have been on HRT for 15 months and I will certainly confirm that having the proper level of Estrogen in my system helps considerably with gender dysphoria and a general sense of well being. I am 64 and trans girls of my generation have generally waited to later in life to transition. My parents were very close minded to anyone in the lgbt community. They passed away before I came out so I will not have a problem of their acceptance. So I hope it works out well with your parents.
Welcome, Josie!
Shawna
