PRO- It's great and makes you feel like you're finally who you always have felt you should be. It gives you the strength to not feel the need to do some of the things you used to do to feel more 'normal.' You can actually fit male clothes. Disclaimer: I don't want any of you to get into fights.... Buuuuut, HRT will at least give you the physical strength to protect yourself, if you didn't have it before. I exercise everyday, at least 60 sit ups, 20 floor push ups, 20 chair push ups (you put your hands on a chair, put your legs straight out and push yourself up and lower yourself.), About 40-50 jumping jacks, and the occasional one minute plank, but I still look like a pretzel sticks as far as muscle goes. It will be a plus to have physical results from my exercise. All of the new people you meet won't have to go through that awkward phase of them either misnaming or misgendering you. You don't actually have to explain to anyone other than your s.o. what your genitalia is, which would be great.

First off you have to find one, and most of the time they are only in big cities to be honest. And then when you do find one, you have to make sure it serves transgender people because they're usually for people who are going through menopause. Thank God that Planned Parenthood has HRT. I'm going there in 23 days because it's my 18th birthday. I'm getting my license in two weeks too.
Also, the steps to be allowed to take The are quite troublesome tbh. Therapy, pediatrician/doctor approval, location, cost, etc.
That's my spiel though, I'm hella sorry that I don't upload regularly but it's senior year and I'm busy as hell, being a senior is expensive too, they're trying to squeeze the last few pennies we have out of our and our parents' pockets. I hope you're having a great month! March is the best month imo but I'm kinda biased. Lemme know in the comments, what birthday and year were you born?
I'm a 99 kid and my birthday is March 24th O:-)
