Some things from me:

  • Early on, darkening of the perineal raphe was quite a surprise (aka the "sack stripe"). It's not something I've seen mentioned in most HRT guides.
  • How incredibly unreliable my own perception of how feminine I look is. People were treating me as a woman well before I could see even hints of it in my face.
  • It's nice that women will sit next to me on the train now. As the carriage fills up I quite often find myself in the center of a cluster of women, which is very affirming.
  • Makeup areas in bathrooms. I had no idea this was a thing, and they're great!

I don't know, sorry 🫤 I'm still very much closeted until i can get some distance between me and Ohio, and possibly a new government, out of my own paranoia.

That and i haven't seen a doctor in close to a decade 😅

My moms case is a lot of military docs (tricare) so YMMV
