Curious if any women have tried taking T. I’m much younger than her but I’ve been feeling some of the symptoms she’s talked about a lot, and I’m wondering if T might help. But obviously I’m worried about the effects of it.

Not looking for medical advice, just curious about other people’s experiences.

    The comments on that article from trans women who experienced similar positive changes from taking estrogen make me think it’s a very complicated issue and people might have different solutions to similar problems. But it might still be useful to give it a shot. Just, no guarentees. Someone said that T and E aren’t exactly opposites, like men and women aren’t really opposites.

      Yeah I can also anecdotally say the same thing. Basically every one of the symptoms she described I definitely experienced before I started HRT, and once I did they very quickly got way better. An “ideal” hormonal balance is probably something that varies a lot from person to person so if its something you (op) think might be causing issues I definitely feel like it’s worth at least considering.
