Since friends requested we share this publicly, and we have no reason not to: A brief history of how we went from overweight stereotypical programmer dweebs to #curvy #transfemme #MILF hackers in approximately one year of feminizing #HRT follows! Note that some of the amazingly positive things that happened were due to our specific situation prior to starting HRT—but there are certainly ways to achieve similar results without those circumstances.
We had 44D breasts last I checked, but that was almost six months ago—our boobs have grown since then. We don’t bother wearing bras, so the precise size is less relevant. We have back issues due to a neuromuscular disorder—issues that are unfortunately exacerbated by bras. So people just get the treat of seeing a bit of nip poking through tighter-fitting tees in the summer instead.
At the time of that last measurement, we had been on 8mg of estradiol daily and 200mg of spironolactone daily, both via oral route. The spironolactone was cut in half shortly after that due to some side effects that were extremely unpleasant. We’re still on the same doses other than that. That measurement would have been 1 year after we started feminizing HRT, almost precisely. We were started on 2mg of E2 and 50mg of spironolactone in August of 2021 and titrated up on both approximately every quarter till blood levels stabilized.
The other thing I would note is that we had a significant advantage in all of this by virtue of circustance: We were already overweight. Some of that was by virtue of weight gain attributed to specific psych meds that we were full titrated off of somewhere near August of 2022—the time we last measured our breasts. We gained much of it back after a year of titration (since feminizing HRT tends to cause weight gain)—the latter six months overlapping with the start of HRT. What resulted was the weight returning to more ideal locations—namely our boobs and our ass, both of which are now quite nice. :3
Those latter benefits were, in effect, a medically induced form of weight cycling, which is often encouraged by trans women as a method of promoting fat redistribution in the manner we described.
