    Yeah a cis dude might get testosterone if his normal testosterone is low. I assume there’s something similar for women. I don’t think that’s what this guy is talking about though.

      It’s fairly common for women to start taking estrogen post menopause because their estrogen levels drop, and that can cause issues like losing bone density. I believe HRT was originally developed specifically for that reason, and it was only later that they tried using it to treat gender dysphoria.

      But in this case, they specifically call out being a femboy on HRT, which I think pretty clearly says that they’re on estrogen for that female figure. Whether it’s DIY or just informed consent is anyone’s guess, though.

        That’s one possibility I thought off, but there’s another one: He says he’s straight, but doesn’t mention being cis, so he could be a trans man taking testosterone (HRT isn’t necessarily estrogens).

                even if the intentions are well meaning, egging someone carries the risk of misgendering a cis person. be supportive, but respect what people currently call themselves until they tell you otherwise

                  You are true,
                  Be prepared for the next,

                  But, even you are true ? Should I, really be worried about misgendering cis-people on a shitinternet post ? As MTF, i would say, i really don’t care XD,

                  But again, you are true, and i’m wrong.

            Right, because some rando on the internet knows more about this person than he does himself.

              Find its own gender can be a process. And each is unique. He/she, that’s not what matters after all.

              Sorry, English, you know…

              Was a joke, maybe bad, my bad …
