You get a leaflet covering potential changes. Your period will stop, you'll get hairier, you'll gain muscle mass, your fat will redistribute, you may lose head hair. I was never told about atrophy, or that these external appearances wouldn't convince my mind I'm male.

Thank you for being so honest and clear in sharing your experience. And for acknowledging that "Not everyone regrets, but many do." Gender dysphoria hurts many lives, and I'm sorry it's given you so much pain. With all my heart, I hope you'll be able to pass through it to peace!

So much love to you - keep telling your story! You are brave for coming out and being honest about this, it isn't easy. I was only able to do so by using a pseudonym. You are doing something completely invaluable here

You are brave and mature to accept responsibility but you didn't do this in isolation. There was a context that made it possible and many enablers. So please, one day, also forgive yourself. You truly deserve it. Happy Christmas.
