I’m Wanting To Learn More About HRT (I’m Considering It A Little) Are There Many More Major Sex Hormones
I’m wanting to learn more about HRT (I’m considering it a little) are there many more major sex hormones other than testosterone or estrogen? If so, what are they?
There are a lot of hormones in your body, including a lot of sex hormones, but the main ones used in transitioning are testosterone, estrogen, and progesterone. In males, T is responsible for basically all of the male sex characteristics, and in females, E is responsible for most of the female sex characteristics. I’ve heard of some trans women taking progesterone as well, but I believe it’s less common than E.
When a trans person is considering HRT, if they are afab (born female), they will take testosterone. T is a stronger hormone than E, so unless they’re underage and on a very low dose, they don’t have to take estrogen blockers. If they are amab (born male), they take estrogen and androgen blockers. Testosterone is an androgen, so by blocking it, they’re allowing estrogen to be the dominant hormone in their body.
Did that answer your questions about HRT?

Are there any LGBT dating sites/apps that aren't Grindr? I'm over 18 so age isn't an issue, but the amount of transphobic people on Grindr (I'm a pansexual trans girl, pre-everything) and the people just looking for hookups make it impossible to use.
personally, i’ve used Her in the past. it’s original purpose was for lesbians, but it’s definitely super trans girl friendly, as well as just trans friendly in general. funnily enough it’s actually where i met my girlfriend-turned-best-friend back a few years ago. tinder is like….okay. it really depends on where you are in terms of people, but it is definitely trans friendly. interestingly enough fetlife is pretty trans friendly, but the interface is total garbage and that’s definitely more for the kink crowd and that’s not everyone’s cup of tea.
i hope this helps!

Well, that’s enough internet for me today.
