    As a straight dude on HRT to keep my hormones in the ideal range, I owe it to trans folks for normalizing the idea of HRT. Urologists wouldn't be as progressive as they are with HRT if it wasn't for others who had blazed the trail. Best wishes for a positive journey, and take good care all.

      @B N9476 Abstract
      Bisphenol A (BPA) is an estrogenic endocrine disruptor widely used in the production of plastics. Increasing evidence indicates that in utero BPA exposure affects sexual differentiation and behavior; however, the mechanisms underlying these effects are unknown. We hypothesized that BPA may disrupt epigenetic programming of gene expression in the brain. Here, we provide evidence that maternal exposure during pregnancy to environmentally relevant doses of BPA (2, 20, and 200 µg/kg/d) in mice induces sex-specific, dose-dependent (linear and curvilinear), and brain region-specific changes in expression of genes encoding estrogen receptors (ERs; ERα and ERβ) and estrogen-related receptor-γ in juvenile offspring. Concomitantly, BPA altered mRNA levels of epigenetic regulators DNA methyltransferase (DNMT) 1 and DNMT3A in the juvenile cortex and hypothalamus, paralleling changes in estrogen-related receptors. Importantly, changes in ERα and DNMT expression in the cortex (males) and hypothalamus (females) were associated with DNA methylation changes in the ERα gene. BPA exposure induced persistent, largely sex-specific effects on social and anxiety-like behavior, leading to disruption of sexually dimorphic behaviors. Although postnatal maternal care was altered in mothers treated with BPA during pregnancy, the effects of in utero BPA were not found to be mediated by maternal care. However, our data suggest that increased maternal care may partially attenuate the effects of in utero BPA on DNA methylation. Overall, we demonstrate that low-dose prenatal BPA exposure induces lasting epigenetic disruption in the brain that possibly underlie enduring effects of BPA on brain function and behavior, especially regarding sexually dimorphic phenotypes.

      i was also stumped by this at first, but it makes sense when you consider that starting hormones is basically just a second puberty. most pubescent girls, for instance, won’t experience all the changes of puberty only a year or two after puberty starts, so it makes sense that it would take a few years for trans women to experience it all

    The pain around the nipple when your breasts first started to grow is actually a normal thing for girls to experience, even if they are girls at birth and it’s not just the hormones. When I first started to grow my breasts at the age of nine, I felt that pain too so it’s normal for all girls, not just trans girls. Just a fun fact!

    Samantha... You're a freaking Goddess!!! I love you so much! You're so beautiful and... Just have the most chill and honest approach to MTF Transition. I, myself, have struggled with my own acceptance for 30 years and even pulled the trigger a tiny bit a couple years ago by DIYing estrogen (I know!) and for quite some time I was once again back and forth on the decision. Since maybe about a year ago I've slowly been adapting more towards the woman I've always been inside but only just slightly. Apparently I let it slip to basically everyone in my life (I can only assume that might've been a subconscious move) which at first made me feel nervous and scared, but watching your videos and listening to your own experience and everything has truly really helped. I know you started back when you were 17 (I wish I was brave enough to start back then) I still haven't fully begun transitioning and I just turned 38, however I have noticed specific changes (especially in the "down there" area). I've even quite often been told by a few that they've noticed some slightly more feminine features on me. Anywho, LONG story short, I would really appreciate and value any insight you might have/be willing to share with me

      @@SG-kk9ek I highly recommend injections over pills and they are really easy to do - just make sure you have 18 gage needles to draw and 25ga needles to inject - the only time it will hurt is if you hit a nerve (i haven't hit one yet but sooner or later it will happen). Also ask about a prescription for progesterone. I don't k ow if it makes a difference, but I was prescribed estradiol cypionate and not estradiol valerate. My measurements were taken many times to verify my results and they always om op t the same. It's absolutely mind-blowimg. I'm sure that part of it is genetic as my mother was large breastfed and so is my sister. You can find me on Instagram and Facebook if you want more info ... best wishes on your journey!

      I've been on hormones 18 months and haven't that much success. I started on patches for one year, then pushed it up to gel (5mg) then pushed for 10mg pills and sadly that's the end of the road for me
      I just don't feminize as fast though I do have noticeable B cups
      edit: I would go injections but there's already a lot of pushback because I pushed for changing it twice and the current "crisis" has also stalled out everything. then there's getting hair removal (everywhere....)

    Im a cis male and I'm into bodybuilding, this video is actually really interesting because pretty much all guys in bodybuilding do the same thing but with testosterone and other androgenic compounds (illegally, unfortunately). A lot of guys that do that have similar effects to yours because the enzymes in your body aromatize testosterone, which creates estrogen as a by-product. So most bodybuilders have really high estrogen levels and experience the same effects as you.

    I am a cis female and I am currently on hormone therapy because my progesterone and estrogen levels are way out of alignment. I have something called PCOS, which is an endocrine disorder. Because of this, I have something called hirsutism, which gives me male-pattern body hair. So, in a lot of ways, I understand a little bit about how awful this is. I couldn't even imagine the full impact of gender dysphoria, but I am so glad you were able to take the person you were on the inside and make that what everyone sees on the outside.
