@natanji The conventional wisdom I've heard is that if you're thinking about it *at all*, you should just get started instead of waiting to be sure.

In a perfect world, it would be used as a diagnostic tool: people seem to start feeling either much better or much worse, several months before any of the permanent effects start to show up.

That said ... please take this advice with a grain of salt, because I haven't started HRT and I don't know if I ever will. :-\

@natanji @mxsparks as a transfeminine nb on hormones, i was also full of a lot of doubts before i started. for me, the psychological effects were *very* quick: within an hour of my first dose, i was like "oh. OH!!!". and that was before any of the physical changes started. i suspect that if it's not right for you, the reaction will be similarly quick? tho obvs different ppl have v different experiences, so this could just be me

@natanji hey u can message me abt it again if u like.
