Thanks! I dont know how much I'll change either. I'll either not go through very dramatic changes because I'm already naturally so far along, or I'll be unreadable because I'm so far along. I'm not the strongest person, but again I'm not the weakest person either. I weightlifted in HS for a year (with decidedly poor gains if you were to consider me a male) but I'm in general, stronger than your average woman. I have really good balance/posture if that counts for anything (core muscles and all that~)
I'm one of 3 boys, but come puberty things went off the beaten path. I've attained some sort of intersex status because I'm visibly different than normal-bodied men and women. I dont have ambiguous genitalia because I was born a normal-bodied male. I have mixed secondary sex characteristics, and was read as a male 50% of the time, and female 50% of the time or so up until I was 21~ish when I decided I didnt want to try and overcompensate for who I was. I began to live more comfortably and do the things I wanted to do, and now I'm read as female 80% or so by strangers. The weirdest thing is that people who know me infrequently change from masculine to feminine pronouns in passing, leaving me confused about who they think I am from time to time lol
I've pretty much decided that when I start getting health insurance, that I wanted to find out why I am the way I am, and want to get hormone replacement therapy (HRT) because I've noticed my hair falling out which fucking scares the crap out of me. HRT, to me and my situation and gender identity has, by a large margin, more benefits than drawbacks. I have a broad gender identity, and would feel comfortable in a male or female body, but given a lot of factors, male to female hormone replacement is a better option for me. I would need hormones and surgery to decidedly go one way or the other, but I'd rather just stay inbetween (the kind of person I've grown accustomed to being since forever, even prepuberty I fantasized about switching bodies back and forth for as long as I can remember.)
One of the things that I refused to let happen is to have my hair fall out, so I would need something to stop that. Propecia is the best thing on the market, but it affects hormones, and I'm afraid it would mess up my weird balance and increase circulating testosterone levels by stopping the conversion from testosterone to DHT. I didn't want to become more masculine because I could never be 100% male, and grinding down my bones and cutting me open to remove my breasts to make a better approximation of a man just didn't sit right with me. I could never be 100% female for the same reasons. So I decided that an ideal point where I could keep my hair, have nicer skin, and not have to shave as much could be reached by taking antiandrogens and some form on estrogen. I had some hesitancy about nipple changes because I thought it would make my boobs look weird, then I had the realization that my boobs were already weird (to "normal" people) and that hesitation disappeared. The only "hard" part of anything I'm going to do is electrolysis to get rid of my beard. Painful and expensive, but I shave everyday and it's a pain. Not having to worry about it when I have to pee in public places eases my mind a little and makes me feel like I'll be that much more safe when I can't find a single-occupancy bathroom.
Right now I'm looking forward to getting a job as a nurse so I can have health insurance to see about jumping through the hoops to getting HRT. I'm a little worried though, because I've read that to get HRT, you need to want to become 100% man or woman, and being that I don't (I like my penis where it is, thanks), it might be a problem. I've found some open-minded facilities in washington DC where a doctor might be able to write me a prescription based on an obscure hormonal disorder. That would be nice~
(I hope that was thorough and answered more questions than it created

)
See, I dont know if I have gynecomastia because I have so much more than that. If a man has breast enlargment, then sure, he's a man with a problem that needs to be fixed. But if a man has had a large amount of circulating estrogen for a long period of time, and is okay with that, do you still give each change a name piecemeal? Idk, I see myself as a "kind of person" more than someone with a problem. I mean, I've got bodily changes like someone with aromatase excess syndrome or congenital adrenal hyperplasia, but I have no deficits of any "problem" that I've seen. And I've been looking for quite some time now. I'm a healthy person! (That was a roundabout way of saying those "support vests" are ugly and wildly overpriced lol :D I'll have to find myself some cotton/spandex sports bras and call it a day

Keeping it on-topic with a picture~
My first picture on the forums, from a long time ago! Before I was in bg, so maybe I was 18 or so here?
