Tbh, Iā€™d be tempted to say ā€œgo for it!ā€ if it werenā€™t for the medical liability. A doc would want to check your hormone levels before prescribing estradiol just to ensure that there arenā€™t any risk factors present.

The odds of one dose fucking you up are very, very low but not zero.

Not a doctor- butā€¦

Thereā€™s a reason E is normally prescribed with a testosterone blocker. Small doses of Estradiol will do next to nothing if thereā€™s still a natural level of T flowing through your system.

Trans enby here.

Iā€™ve still got my ā€œnormalā€ levels of testostetone, but Iā€™m taking finasteride to keep it from affecting my hair follicles while the estradiol does its work softening my skin and plumping up my chest.

I probably could be a lot more feminine by this point if I had a full-spectrum anti-androgen like spironolactone or cyproterone acetate, but thatā€™s not my transition goal. Iā€™m actively seeking an androgynous appearance and itty bitty titties, so estradiol monotherapy with finasteride is working just fine for me.

Right, but in the context of

thereā€™s a little voice in my head telling me to try one just to fuck around

Trying ā€˜one just to fuck aroundā€™ will do next to nothing.

I read ā€œPlump up my chestā€ to the tune of ā€œPump up the Jamā€

Itā€™s stuck in my head now šŸ˜‚

egg_irl ā€” Memes about being trans people in denial and other eggy topics

!egg_irl@lemmy.blahaj.zone

Create post

!egg_irl

!egg_irl is for widely relatable memes about questioning oneā€™s gender or being an egg (a trans person in denial) as well as other eggy topics.

If you are looking for a place to discuss something specific to you or especially if you need help or are in crisis, we have communities and resources that can support you linked at the bottom of this sidebar.

General Rules:

  1. No bigotry.

  2. No spam, bots, or vote farming.

Rules on Content:

  1. No reposts.

  2. No personal-life posts, bingo cards, quizzes, selfies, ā€œtrans/not transā€ lists, picrew, or non-memes.

  3. No visible names or usernames.

  4. Do not post or link to pornography.

Rules on Post Titles and Tags:

  1. Posts must be titled ā€œegg_irlā€. An emoji or two is OK, but they have to be between ā€œeggā€ and ā€œirlā€.

  2. Posts that assume the viewerā€™s gender and/or contain potentially triggering content must be spoilered and tagged at the beginning of the post title. Example content-warning tags that you can copy include the following:

    • [CW: Assumes Viewer is Transmasc]
    • [CW: Assumes Viewer is Transfem]
    • [CW: Assumes Viewer is Nonbinary]

  2. Add sources for art.

Rules on Comments

  1. If a post is tagged with a specific gender identity, keep the conversation centered on that identity.

  2. You must follow the Egg Prime Directive. You may not push or coerce people into identifying or not identifying a certain way. You must respect them as the gender they claim to identify as. In addition it is extremely in poor taste to make assumptions about other peopleā€™s identities based on external factors, we understand it cannot be helped but it is best not to as it can affect the way you treat others in noticeable ways.

Recommendations:

We strongly encourage you to include your pronouns in your account bio so that others know how to refer to you without misgendering you. If youā€™re questioning or unsure of your pronouns, thatā€™s totally coolā€”just say so.
