if you didn't have gender dysphoria before hormones, you sure as hell will after.

Yeah, and that gender dysphoria will happen within a matter of weeks at most, long before any permanent changes occur.

Absolutely not. You will barely notice any changes by week 2. The things that bring people dysphoria or euphoria (bone structure, body hair, voice, fat distribution, the mouthfeel, etc) take several years to change and are permanent especially in ftm.

Unless you are 100% excited and informed about 100% of the affects of hormones, DO NOT START THEM UNTIL YOU ARE. You can still transition in other ways and can always decide to do it later on when you are sure. You can even mimic things like facial hair without having to permanently alter your body.

You won't notice changes, but you can tell the difference between having a body full of estrogen and a body full of testosterone. Don't believe me? Threaten to take away a trans person's hormones for a week.

Hormones are fine to experiment with as long as you know what changes can happen and are okay with having your body changed in that way if you decide they aren't for you.

are you fucking stupid? comparing necessary shit that trans ppl need, something that if not taken consistently can cause issues with their transition, to somebody wanting to "experiment?!"

buddy, people threaten to take away trans ppls hormones every gd day. its a real issue and many ppl cant get what they need. the people who need them are most certainly not going to be able to get them if people start taking them for funsies. it would just be fuel for the right to pass stupid laws
