Just Remember

Remember that not all transwomen who transition are on hormone replacement therapy, often considered the ticket to feminizing their bodies. Some people have problems with Spironolactone and estradiol which has adverse physical and mental side effects.

Spironolactone has a host of side effects as it's used for a variety of medical conditions beside transitioning transwomen, mostly causing increased urination with dehydration problems and decreased energy and muscle weakness.

Estradiol is also used for a variety of medical condition but mostly has the obvious effects of feminizing the body for transitioning transwomen. But it can cause or worsen depression, reduced energy and excerbate digestive conditions, such as bleeding intestines.

So, my point? Just remember that when they don't appear to what you would expect with their transition. Remember they hate it more than anyone as their body rebels against their mind, and their mind rebels against itself. And there is nothing they can do outside of surgery.

It's their reality.
