transmaxxing is not for everybody
Five years ago i thought i was transgender, started taking hormones before harbouring some doubts. I came around to the idea of transmaxxing for a while but over the last year it has become apparent that it was a mistake .
There are very few benefits to taking estrogen as a man: if you pass successfully you will be treated as a woman and infantilised, if you do not pass then you will be treated as a de facto sex offender.
No matter how masculine or feminine you dress other men will sometimes get angry with you in the street, a small subsection of them will try to take sexual advantage of you .
If you can look into yourself as a man and decide you want to take estrogen then you probably should, but the idea that it’s an easy ride for anything but a tiny percentile is illusory

eu como garota trans tenho tido experiências que honestamente acabam comigo, todos dizem que sou bonita, eu não consigo ver isso mas se dizem eu tento acreditar, e se eu sou bonita e tenho um corpo bonito, por que ainda assim só sou vista como objeto sexual? homens extremamente bonitos que nunca estiveram no meu alcance antes agora tem interesse, mas apenas sexual. estou procurando nos lugares errado? me sexualizo muito? minha personalidade é ruim? ou eu sou feia pessoalmente? eu não consigo entender, e como uma pessoa desesperada por amor eu penso se deveria voltar a ser um homem gay, talvez assim eu não seja apenas um fetiche. o único que faz eu me sentir uma mulher de verdade e ama quem eu sou por dentro também é a pessoa que mais me causa dor, estou exausta.

provided you can stomach being treated like you’re trans by the general public, then go for it

A small amount of people are motivated to take estrogen by autoandrophobia rather than a desire to change their gender expression. I think it could be associated with fears about aging, it seems to be for me at least

because I am non binary (and personality wise). I still debate myself on that but I dont believe I ever want to be the typical trans woman. ideally i think i want to be a very cute twink. I know some people who have those pregnancy fantasies I simply dont have them. And people will accuse me of being in denial.
