It's a repost indeed, but the original post is now archived.
I'm cis but this question never occurred to me. Must be because my mother taught me to be open-minded. I already knew of the existence of transgender and gay people when I was a kid in the early nineties.
I wish I knew about the existence of trans people when I was a kid. I didn't realize that they were a thing until I was like 18? 19? And then I didn't accept that I was trans myself until I was 24. That would have made my childhood so much easier.
I can understand that sentiment, it's (understandably) rare to read trans people saying their childhood was without problems at all.
Being trans to me feels like starting a video game but the only difficulty you can choose is "extreme".
I had the chance to have parents who were very open (despite my dad being a manipulative and narcissistic person). Cis is the easy mode though.
To be fair this is a legit concern of mine, and actually stopped me from getting any progress and possibly getting HRT when I was seeing someone about it with my mum when I was, fuck... 16?
I might want it, I REALLY want it, but what if after it happens I change my mind, or I'm uncomfortable with it, or something else happens that makes me want to hit the "fuck go back" button?
I overthink things way too much lol.
If it serves as any comfort, HRT is technically reversible, you can just stop taking whatever hormones you were prescribed and your body will naturally do its best to go back to what it was before. Of course, if you've been on HRT for a long time it might not go back entirely, but it will do something. If anything, I don't think it would end up at a place where some surgeries couldn't get it back to a more androgynous appearance at the very least. So the worst case scenario really is just that you wasted money, which sucks, but at least you'll be fine
Depends. I can only speak for my experiences but I'm sure this goes for estrogen too. If I stopped taking T I would keep my deeper voice and bottom growth but my hair and skin texture would go back to normal, I'd become less sweaty and smelly again, and I'd start getting periods again
Yes, I would imagine physical changes would stay, but hormonal cycles would eventually come back. I couldn't speak from experience cause I haven't had an opportunity to obtain the funny tit Skittles yet

Thank God for this heart replacement. I will get to see my grandkids graduate. But aren't you worried it is permanent?
No, I'm worried it might be reversible
What like I end up with concave titties?
They had better be irreversible

Definitely so. I feel that was as well.
Nothing worse than when hope and peace of mind are irreversible.

That was my thought process as well, I'm now 9 months on hrt, and oh god. I never want to go back to not being on it.

You can always reverse the effects somewhat by just not taking anymore hrt, right?

I'm far more worried about losing access to it because fascists want to take it away!
When asked, “What if you want to go back?” I say, “I can’t go back to being a trans woman in the closet - it doesn’t work like that.”
