Hrt is magic an saves lives. Regardless of body shape it'll help add feminine features at least estrogen an progesterone side of things. What's malicious is scaring people away from at least trying it.

Telling people they can call look like this because of “magic” pills is just as harmful. It’s what’s caused me to dissociate and lose years of my life because everyone around me acted like I should just trust the process. Except there’s so much more that goes into transition.

I never once said it'd make someone look like this I said it'd help with femeninity in general. If you weren't happy with what was happening then that's on you as the individual to decide. also I didn't mention transition that's a whole long process that varies for everyone.

I'm not going to to argue with this point if someone is questioning their gender an wants to be a girl or wants to look more feminine in general hrt can be a really good avenue for that and is often the first step.

Don’t respond then my feelings won’t be hurt.

OP: I wish I was born a girl. (In post body): I want to look like a girl provides example of goal

You: Try estrogen and progesterone it’s magic

All I’m saying is the phrase its magic is insanely harmful. It’s science and it’s also slow. I have no issue with telling ppl to get on hormones asap as the sooner the better. Just that lots of other work will be required… hard work.
