Just a genuine question, im not trying to ask in bad faith or anything but is the hormone stuff reversible? And if so does it have any lasting effects? Because I could understand regulation on stuff like that for people under 18 if it’s not something that can be reversible easily, however, that doesn’t mean it should be banned, it should be improved upon to make it as safe as possible. Anyways I’m genuinely happy for you and I’m glad you are comfortable in your own skin. ❤️

Live your best damn life because I said so.

Bits are some will require minor surgeries.

You can switch fat and muscle distribution as much as you want, same with the level of brain chemistry hormones effect and your diet requirements.

Things like face hair and brests are permanent to a point, these do take a while to develop into the adult versions.l and can be cosmetically corrected.

Minor risk to infertility, very genetically dependent.

The only irreversible changes without surgery are bone growth to the skull(not as much as people think when they see the comparison skulls) and estrogen cause the hip bone to tilt, if this happens before fussing then your hips will widern.

There is of cause one other truly and utterly irreversible change, death. That is what 20% face when transitioning isn't an option and no amount of surgery or drugs will stop that.

I got "lucky" and instead developed severe dissociation and a drinking habit(in the volumes I was taking it would have acted a testosterone blocker as an aside).

puberty blockers are 100% reversable. it just makes your puberty happen later. Cis people have used these since the 80s to stop puberty from happening early and are still using it. People just want to stop trans children from having them.
