no. that’s thermodynamically impossible.

though it is true that fission and fusion are opposites, you cannot gain energy by fissing and fusing the same material. There’s an inverted bell curve where medium sized elements are the lowest energy state. You can get energy by making atoms more medium, fusing the smallest atoms or fissing the biggest ones. Doing the opposite costs energy.

I got HRT through my doctor in the US. They gave me a big informed consent document with lots of details and warnings. A lot of the warnings are a bit fearmongery, like you might have a higher risk of this specific cancer, based on one small study decades ago.

Despite all that, there were only two things described as irreversible changes, breast growth, and infertility.

If you’re an adult and no longer have an actively growing skeleton, and have taken precautions against the two above changes, you should be able to stop the HRT and go back if needed.

The changes are cumulative and gradual. You burn fat from everywhere, but deposit it based on your current hormones. With time fat will appear to migrate, and will migrate back if you stop the HRT.

Edit: specifying nationality is useful information when discussing supplied documentation.

The problems are systemic and the humans in the system are incentivized to perpetuate the system.

Its not stupidity.

I’d much rather they make California the 13th province.

I did not remember my dreams before E.

hi fellow arch girlie!

I’m interested I’d be happy to help try and find all the bugs and whatnot.

What specifically do you think that OSM maintainers should be doing to stop this instead of maintaining OSM?

Also coup has a p.

I am experiencing this as well. I’m few months into HRT and its had a remarkable effect on my mood, and that changes a ton.

I still lack some amount of self reflection, as I didn’t notice this change until reading your post. Making your brain comfy has some very far reaching effects.

ur great too :3

I’m about 3 months in. Breasts are noticeable if know to look for them. Still plausibly just defined pectorals to those not in the know.

Changes are cumulative. More to come!

Weird right wingers kept going on about trans people, and I wanted to be informed about it and learned a few things about myself in the process.

I genuinely had no idea for most of my life. The signs were there all along but only in retrospect. It took me 2-3 years of questioning before I started transitioning. I was not ever truly certain I was trans until I started HRT, and everything started to feel fine, like genuinely fine. Didn’t realize I was depressed from dysphoria my entire life because I had no point of comparison.

I certainly envy the trans people who were able to learn they were trans at an early age. The best time to transition is just before the start of puberty, the second best time is now.

How’d it go? Notice anything?

Fat will deposit in more feminine places but there is no mechanism to actively remove it from elsewhere. That’s why trans men need top surgery. Hormones can only make they cannot unmake.

You do burn fat and it is removed everywhere in an impartial way. Expect changes to take time.

Sometime soon your nipples will start to get sore and hurt. That means things are developing!

Every study uses sampling. They don’t have the resources to check everything. I have to imagine it took a lot of work to verify conclusively whether something was or was not generated. It’s a much larger sample size than a lot of studies.

I pretty sure they selected posts from a 6 year period, not that they spent six years on the analysis.

“niche market,” is a way of saying they made a bad product few want.

pickup trucks are hardly a niche product especially in the us

That is pretty normal. Skin was the first noticeable change for me.

What surprised me most in the first month was how similar everything felt. Your body has no way to consciously perceive your hormone levels directly. You will notice the effects. Skin and mood are often the first.

You’re not imagining things The E is working! Congrats on getting started!
