Lifestyle tips

Everyone I know that takes estrogen are transwomen. They're fine, but they are also under doctor supervision to make sure their hormones levels done't get too high or too low.

If you are looking to medically transition, you should be fine. If you are looking to take it without medical supervision, you are playing with fire. High levels of estrogen can cause you a laundry list of health problems.

Do not take hormones without medical supervision. You need to have your levels monitored.

Like I said, HRT isn't bad. Just do it under doctor supervision to be safe.

It's a matter of safety. I understand that not everyone has the opportunity to take HRT with medical supervision. But if you have the opportunity, you should 100% do it safely.

Even ciswomen who take estrogen for medical reasons should do it under doctor supervision because of potential complications.

I also feel like this isn't about me giving advice to this person. Rather you being upset with me and talking about it indirectly.

You're right. They can choose. But if someone is asking for advice, the ethical thing is to make sure they are properly informed how they can do it safely. If they decide to do it in a riskier way, at the very least it will be their informed decision and not the result of bad advice.

Which is an indirect way of asking for advice.

So, I think Munchies is right that context is kinda super important: That usually transgender people (including non-binary people and other identities) use estrogen to help transition their bodies to a form they prefer. If you are wanting to feminise yourself, then you could try to explore professional supervision, although most if not all will usually expect a diagnosis of gender dysphoria in one way or another. So, I think kinda trying to pin down if this is something you're experiencing will help you not only feminise, but also to avoid feminising if it could lead to a lot of potential future discomfort (there are cases of cis people, for one reason or another, transitioning and becoming deeply mentally unwell due to gender discomfort). Generally, as a trans woman, I'd heavily heavily discourage a cis guy from taking estrogen and transitioning into a woman, and would only encourage it if it was a trans person who was born assigned male and who is of a gender that isn't male and for whom feminising would generally make them feel better about their body. I would also heavily discourage taking estrogen without supervision as you could face a whole multitude of medical problems in the process, but considering the situation trans people face globally I do understand if that is the path some take and would recommend some heavy research and regular blood tests to avoid potentially fatal health issues. That said, while I do not personally take HRT as of yet, it is something that deeply appeals to me due to things like gender dysphoria.

That said, I think as this is kinda in the realms of HRT, I'm not so sure a gainer/feeder/etc forum is the best venue to explore the topic of HRT.

If you aren't diagnosed with gender dysphoria I doubt any doctor would help you with hormones or HRT.

It's like I said. You should be fine so long as you do it under a doctor's supervision. I have two transwomen friends on HRT. One just started a few months ago. The other's been on it for years. Both are fine and very happy they did it.

If you feel like it's right for you, I would recommend taking the first step.

I know several MtF trans that have gone thru HRT and have fully transitioned and HRT didn't really change their bodies all that much.
One still has a few male markers like wide shoulders and narrow hips.
Her butt is more developed than before her transition.
There is no guarantee HRT will give you the figure you want but it will help your gender dysphoria and your mental well being.

Not as easy as you might think.
I know a few people that cannot get it.
Its up to the therapist and the endo doctors.
Sometimes the medication is too dangerous to the person.
