1.) The feeling of a bra with breast inserts is pretty similar to the feeling after chest growth. I really expected to put on a fitting bra for the first time with my new chest and feel much more supported and much less awkward than before with inserts, but nope, it feels pretty much the same in terms of sensation. Plus the fact that that they’re not comically heavy anymore.

2.) My smell and taste changed, like a lot. I like OLIVES NOW. Literally what the hell!

3.) Other symptoms of other mental health conditions being somewhat reduced too.

4.) I very often bump into random things around my house with my chest or hips now that they’re different, all the time. I have knocked over the same fan every day for the last month.

5.) I now have access to different emotions than before, probably because I’m not disassociating all the time. I have never cried at a movie before I started E.

6.) Even though estrogen doesn’t change your voice, my voice has become more feminine sub-conciously in response to presenting differently and picking up on other people’s subtle reactions. The voice coach of life ig?

7.) Having words to put to the dysphoria is both good and bad. I used to ignore it all the time until it was so bad that I would have a breakdown like once a month, but now that I can identify my dysphoria when it comes i notice it all the time and am affected by it more often.

8.) All of my body changes, even the shape of my hands???

9.) When you forget a dose, sometimes it feels physically uncomfortable. Especially when you forget often.

10.) I would begin to forget what my natal sex is, like sometimes it’s just gone, like i was never recorded as male at all. Sometimes I just walk down the street and see a man and not think that anything about them is demographically similar to me at all.
