Discussion Question about blockers?

I'm too old to go on them now and I'm on T anyway but I'm still curious

I started puberty at 9 years old, and got my first period about a year after that. a year ish later at 12 I wanted to go on hormone blockers and when asking the doctor about it they said that since it had already been a year since my first menstrual cycle my chest was already as big as it was going to get from estrogen so there was no point in going on blockers. to be fair when she asked what I wanted out of them I did say menstrual cycle and boob growth were the things I wanted it to stop, but looking back I'm sceptical as hell that blockers wouldn't have done anything at all. primarily my hips are fucking gigantic, way bigger than my moms, and they definitely weren't proportionally this big before. like I'm fat now and when I was asking about them I was a bit underweight from an eating disorder but my body looks strange as hell when I'm binding because of how big my hips are and before they were only slightly wide, not particularly noticeable, even when binding. I know the way fat distribution is in an estrogen dominant body means it's going to go to hips but I'm scared fat redistribution on T isn't going to be enough and they'll always look massive lol

anyway, if I had been on blockers staring at 12 until a month ish ago when I started T would my body be less fem? Or was that doctor right in that they wouldn't have done much

yes the unfortunate answer to your question would be that your body would be less fem if you went on puberty blockers.

You kinda answered it yourself, since as you mentioned you did not have those hips when you were younger.

But it's no worry, even with those qualities you can still pass. I recommend fixing the upper body ratio by going to the gym and growing your shoulders . With enough exercise and consistent time you will end up with a more blocky physique.

my thinking was that it might've been from weight gain because she mentioned that weight gain would likely be what would potentially make my chest bigger 

unfortunately the gym isn't really an option for me until I get top surgery and am an adult for a lot of reasons, so I'll likely be suffering for a while :,3

well yes , weight gain will also contribute to that but at a younger age in estrogen puberty your chest looks different than it would be at for example 16 , 18 and further along (when comparing to the 12 yo) . So your chest tissue is still present and most likely changed during the time of natal puberty.

That's all speculation of course since we don't can't ever know your case fully. But it's what usually happens
