    Yeah… my looks like:

    1. start crossdressing
    2. start HRT
    3. admit I am trans
    4. pause HRT
    5. find out what kind of trans I am
    6. research how to achieve my impossible goals Step 5 repeats with step 6

    My gender is on a non-binary spectrum and I hate it. I wish I would be cis/trans man/woman. I am planning on lowering my T a bit and I am considering to come in peace with breasts and bind. Or who knows. Maybe I will grow to like the things I’ve disliked as my self expression progresses.

    This would have been so much easier if my country legally believed in existence of enbies and gave me raloxifene.

      As someone with kleinfelters syndrome, don’t lower the T too much, it’s very important. I didn’t find out what I was until later in life and the addition of testosterone has made life better in every way. I got insulin resistance along the way and being fat was a good way to hide the breasts. Since starting estrogen blockers they’ve reduced in size a bit and that’s been nice.

        Did you develop breast buds? I like mine but if they grow just from lower T (or me low dosing E) I am considering getting them removed. I am kind of thin? Well healthy BMI. I need to find out how much fat/water will go into my chest and this is so hard to find.

          I don’t have buds, I have actual breast tissue. Like I said I’m a big guy so they blend in quite well. But I’ve seen some XXY guys who have very large breasts. My body doesn’t produce T at all. When I was tired all the time my doctor sent me in to get my T tested, it barely registered on the lab work. My body does however produce ample amounts of estrogen, which is why I have to take estrogen blockers so my body will not immediately convert the available T into estrogen.
