-
You must follow the Egg Prime Directive. You may not push or coerce people into identifying or not identifying a certain way. You must respect them as the gender they claim to identify as. In addition it is extremely in poor taste to make assumptions about other people's identities based on external factors, we understand it cannot be helped but it is best not to as it can affect the way you treat others in noticeable ways.
Recommendations:
We strongly encourage you to include your pronouns in your account bio so that others know how to refer to you without misgendering you. If you're questioning or unsure of your pronouns, that's totally coolโjust say so.

Tbh, I'd be tempted to say "go for it!" if it weren't for the medical liability. A doc would want to check your hormone levels before prescribing estradiol just to ensure that there aren't any risk factors present.
The odds of one dose fucking you up are very, very low but not zero.
Not a doctor- but...
There's a reason E is normally prescribed with a testosterone blocker. Small doses of Estradiol will do next to nothing if there's still a natural level of T flowing through your system.
Trans enby here.
I've still got my "normal" levels of testostetone, but I'm taking finasteride to keep it from affecting my hair follicles while the estradiol does its work softening my skin and plumping up my chest.
I probably could be a lot more feminine by this point if I had a full-spectrum anti-androgen like spironolactone or cyproterone acetate, but that's not my transition goal. I'm actively seeking an androgynous appearance and itty bitty titties, so estradiol monotherapy with finasteride is working just fine for me.
Right, but in the context of
Trying 'one just to fuck around' will do next to nothing.
Probably, yeah.
Though, I'd love to hear from a "cis guy" who decided to fuck around like this and found out something about themselves in the process. =3
is this a request lol
Legally I must state that it is not, but if you do go through with it then I want a trip report. =D
I read "Plump up my chest" to the tune of "Pump up the Jam"
It's stuck in my head now ๐
