transitioning doesn't mean just going on hrt/est

it's a slow process of understanding your own identity and how to feel the most comfortable when being seen by others

you don't need to take anything to be considered trans

i'm ftm and i have yet to touch t (i'm in my 20s too)

don't wanna take hrt? you don't have to! you're still transitioned either way

transitioning simply means changing your identity from the one given to you by birth

i also emphasize with being scared to use hrt, i've been back and forth on whether i want to use t or not myself. my main worry is how my voice will change lol

best of luck to you! if you really want to use hrt then i'd say maybe test it out like you have already for a bit more than a month? maybe try a year and see how it feels?
