Guess I’ve faded into obscurity! Good.

Hi! I’m a transwoman. I’ve been trying to transition for like... 10 years and finally doing it. As for your question: You know how weight lifters do steroids to bulk up on muscle? If you block testosterone and add estrogen then you lose the ability to maintain the extra muscle guys have. It slowly fades over time. All those measurements I posted are, I’m pretty certain, just from muscle loss. Kinda sucks losing strength but I’m happier with my body now so w/e.
