    E is common shorthand for estrogen The spoiler just has a description of what injections feel like. I figured not everyone likes that kind of stuff, so I put it in a spoiler. It's also a good idea to do your own research on HRT. I've definitely done a fair bit myself. Yes, it's fairly deep into science, but basically testosterone is the male hormone and estrogen & progesterone are the female equivalents to it. These hormones have a big part in puberty changes. When you go on E, you'll experience what is essentially a second puberty that is more similar to the natural female puberty.

    fertility stuff can be solved by using gamete storage, if you're worried. Basically you preserve a sample of your gametes so if you ever decide to use them you have them. All changes of HRT are generally reversible if you so choose to. It is not as simple as just stopping HRT but in general it's a pretty easy process (menopause is not though beware). That is, all changes but breast development (which is why some transmascs may choose to undergo top surgery). However, it takes weeks or months for breast development to occur so you have plenty of time to decide if HRT is for you. Mood changes... lies can probably tell you more but I've been told that generally you have more emotions on E or something.

    Also @Usseewa here's some information a transfem friend gave me (note it was written by her, so a lot of the "I" and "you" might seem out of place) This is also a good source: https://transfemscience.org/ they sometimes advertise it as a downside but many people will find it affirming so it doesn't tend to matter tbh

    The big downsides tend to be: loss of fertility (not guaranteed, but very likely) breast development is permanent Mood changes and stuff (arguably a downside) Mood changes and stuff (arguably a downside) maybe that's the case that's just what someone told me. I think it depends where you get it from.

    Okay can I just dump some stuff in that's not what I made but someone else did BUT FIRST Crash course on reproductive hormones: Regardless of gender, the hypothalamus (in the brain) will make a hormone called GNRH (gonadotropic releasing hormone) which triggers the pituitary gland (also in the brain) to release LH (leutinizing hormone) and FSH (follicle-stimulating hormone). In the biological male, FSH will trigger the production of the male gametes, and LH will trigger the production of testosterone. If the level of testosterone falls, the Hypothalamus will release more GNRH to make sure that more LH is being made to make more testosterone. If the level rises too high, it'll make less to make sure less testosterone is being produced. In the biological female body, LH and FSH do different things. FSH will trigger the development of the egg cell follicle (which is kinda like a sac that holds the gamete) and the follicle will make estrogen. Estrogen tells the brain to make more LH and less FSH (don't ask why it's complex), and also contributes to the endometrium in the uterus being built up. After about thirteen days, the follicle bursts and the egg is released, yatta yatta yatta. Assuming that a zygote is not made, the follicle that burst develops into the corpus luteum, which releases estrogen and progesterone. Progesterone causes the uterine lining to become more glandular/secretory (in preparation for if fertilization did occur), but inhibits the production of LH which thereby negative feedback occurs and the corpus luteum fades away. Since the body is now low on estrogen and progesterone, menstruation occurs and the cycle repeats. So progesterone is like, important with those kinds of cycles. But obviously, those don't occur in trans people*. And estrogen (or prog) used here isn't to emulate a period. In terms of what progresterone does during female puberty, it's relatively unknown. As lies said, breast size stuff is linked to it but really we just kinda don't know. However, it does have some sort of role in female puberty so it's kinda just added to the mix because why not. You don't need to take prog in most scenarios, but often times when you start out it will probably have prog involved (also definitely not being lazy and not scheduling an appointment for me to get HRT atm tbh)

    Alright. Ribbon replied, I trust you. She flickered out, appearing somewhere else.
  7. Aeoryi
    Ribbon watched Fog fight Malevolence.
  8. Aeoryi
    That's awesome!

    Someone once was talking to me about their experiences with endometriosis (which has to do with the menstrual cycle as a whole) and I felt bad because I was clearly supposed to relate in some way but couldn't.
  10. Aeoryi
    It's a real thing

    neither are somatoform if that's what you're asking

    @NameIess A thunderclap sounds near Malevolence. An omnipresent voice speaks seemingly from every direction "Sixty Pages you have left to fulfill your promise, Malevolence."
  14. Aeoryi
    Ribbon, or rather, a more curious aspect of Ribbon, trailed behind Malevolence.
  15. Aeoryi
    ah who cares "Are you intoxicated?" Ribbon asked. "Mind your own business."
  16. Aeoryi
    What are the lost pages?
  17. Aeoryi
    Ribbon sighed. "It's probably a good thing that I'm not here in full."
  18. Aeoryi
    "I'm sorry to hear that, Fog." Ribbon said, but didn't prod further.
  19. Aeoryi
    "Oh? What'd the thread do to you?'
  20. Aeoryi
    "I'm alright.' she said with a smile. "Malevolence is kinda annoying though. How are you?"
  21. Aeoryi
    "Hiiii" she said back
  22. Aeoryi
    "Oh hi Fog!" Ribbon waved. Ribbon giggled. "Unfortunately for you, I tend to leave a lasting impression."
  23. Aeoryi
    Ribbon, in water, formed next to Malevolence.
  24. Aeoryi
    Ribbon glared at Malevolence through the silence. I noticed you lived the Plotblade Guardian.
  25. Aeoryi
    She hasn't manipulated me. Ribbon said firmly. Perhaps that is the way you see things unfold, but to me it is quite different. Your attempts to convince me that she needs fixing are quite cute, however.
