So, one of the effects of HRT (T suppression, really) is genital atrophy. People say “use it or lose it” and it’s generally true, though even with using it, you can still lose a couple of inches. For some, this is a welcome change while others don’t appreciate this effect.

I’ll be honest, some people would have said I was “lucky” or “blessed”. I would not, and in fact, I’d say I’m pretty fucking cursed. Without going into too much detail, I was definitely above average, which for me was not a positive.

However, as my T has been basically zero for more than 8 months now, atrophy has definitely had an effect. And, as much as I hate that part of myself (so much that I’m going for SRS), atrophy has done a number on it. It is now significantly smaller and I fucking love it.

For the first time in forever, I just caught a glimpse in the mirror and literally went “Omg, it’s so small! How cute”. I still hate it, I do not think it’s cute in the slightest, however I’m really fucking grateful for atrophy. It’s much less striking in the eyes now and that’s a big positive for me personally. So, once again, thank you HRT, you’re saving my life in real time ♥️

That is all. Wishing you all a nice day 🩷

    For me, kinda wish it would just naturally fall (not even on HRT yet)

      Same. To rid myself of it one way or another, oh that would be a dream 😔

      You mention not starting HRT yet. Would you like some help/information?
