Glad you could join us!
I won’t comment about HRT as I am not doing that.
However, the parent thing is interesting and there can be a number of reasons that causes them to be difficult. One thing that can happen is that often parents feel that they failed as a parent because their kid is gay or trans. The erroneous thought process is that one “becomes” gay or transgender. While the research is not conclusive yet, brain scans have shown that there are differences of gay folks compared to straight folks and cisgender folks compared to transgender folks. What that indicates is that whatever happens is not after birth and that it had nothing to do with the parents.
Are you connected with the trans community in your area? Even if there are no organizations/groups close by, many LGBT centers are doing support groups and social groups online. The great thing about getting connected with the community is the realization that you are not alone. You have peers…

Hello Raven , you know a basic female puberty is from around 10 to 15 years old , it takes 5 years and is slow process really , 8 mg estradiol along with a T blocker won’t make it happen faster actually , you might think so but there’s the female side of the family DNA genetically that some are slow and some have fast development and it’s not unlike males in mid school grades 7,8,9 that have beards and some gals are well endowed , many genetically either gender have to wait years for the final outcome ? – the basics are 5 years to start in both genders , girls start long before boys do that’s for sure ! and finish with females around 25 years old actually – it’s just time and what it is ?

Thank so much for the info. I just thought I was on to little of a mg. You have made me so much more hopeful.
Thank you again
Raven
