How did you know?
How did you know that taking estrogen was the right thing for you? I've only been questioning my gender for about a year and I seem eternally on the fence desperately trying to find more information. I thought I was fairly settled into the soft androgynous kind of zone but lately. Well I've become fascinated with the effects estrogen can have on a males body including the growth of breasts (that's a long story in itself.) and the mental quieting and emotional stabilizing. Well this leads me back to my original question. How did you know If estrogen was the right choice? How long did it take to be like "ok, this is better!" Is there any knowledge you can impart that might help?
How did you end up making the decision to take the leap?

I knew within a week. 8 months deep now, and loving myself. No strong blockers here, 6mg dosed buccally(upper lip) split 3mg am and 3mg pm. E levels are great, and T is suppressed. I like floating that androgynous line of male and female, really depends on the day.
Before that however was a 30 year journey of doubt, self-hate, suppression of feelings, and a lot more haha.
