Yeah, not a lot, but I definitely had some libido. even before I knew what trans was, it has always bothered me to a fundamental level. I always hated it. And did not know why. it was just a nuisance
Basically immediately after starting HRT, my libido went to literally nothing and so far it is probably my favorite change
Nah im ace. im ok lol
I am on all three.
Started August 2025 on 2mg sublingual estradiol (low dose, ik) and 2.5mg oral minoxidil
Added 1mg oral finasteride in December 2025
Switched to 4mg / 5 days EV injections early April 2026
Experienced massive shedding for a few months with noticable losses, has slowed down as of late and i hope to see progress soon
I experienced depression and even suicidal ideation at times, BUT i have a history of this, so im unsure if it is related to meds
Body hair growth seems about the same, idk. Maybe the loss from E is cancelling out the growth from Min. Currently doing IPL and hoping for the best
I use nizoral shampoo as i have dermatitis on the scalp but other than that i dont do anything special
I have seen some gains but nowhere near my goal. but it is still early
here is my reddit thread on my hair journey so far
I dont have a partner so maybe that plays a part
I started E 8 months ago and I’ve had zero libido since then
hissss i dont like the sun :( give me clouds 24/7
looks great!
Why should we force trans youth to go through puberty when they don’t have to? Unnecessary trauma. So many trans people wish they could have started when they were teenagers
Being trans, they already have enough of a tough road ahead of them. Why make it any harder than it has to be?
thats a very harmful take imo
This is a great write-up, thank you. I might consider looking into this. The IBEW in my area (134) is incredibly competitive though, so I don’t think I have much of a chance anyway lol
might be more acceptable if the person is wearing a trans pin or something
fair :3
ive been rewatching adventure time for the first time since starting HRT lol and i have realized how much easier i cry during some scenes
how is being a trans electrician? im somewhat interested but i dont rly wanna work in a hugely right-leaning, older cis male dominated field. is it rly that bad?
awesome to hear. big difference to most reddit spaces
Love when my cat steps directly on one and somehow puts about 3 tons of pressure on her paw
