Will HRT Shift Body Fat?

I feel like it's completely and individualistic experience. The body fat redistribution can take years, just as some cis women fill out later in puberty some trans women may as well. I have been on HRT for 3 plus years and in the past few months my body has started to take on a more feminine appearance. I'm tall and I used to be real skinny, so it took a while for me to start putting on weight. I find that my body type seems to match my moms so looking at her is indicative of what I'll end up having.

It's genetics and more estrogen receptors that cause a female shape. Unless you start before puberty, someone at 33 could have a better effect then someone at 20. Just being 20 doesn't mean you'll have great results. It's all genetics. I think the young age thing is pushed a tad too much and some may be disappointed as they've been led to believe well I'm 20 so...starting young is better don't get me wrong, but there are many other factors and I think genetics is more important then age unless your post 40. It's also height, should size, hand size, skull size, etc. These things are basically solidified by age 20. It's all about the estrige receptors and how many one has. The reason young is good is because a lot of men masculinize eve more as they age. Not all.

For instance, I'm 30 and I already have low T and high E for a male and I have a butt and 36 B boobs (before HRT) and I'm already seeing results, fairly good ones, mainly bigger nipples and I'm on a low dose of spiro but not of E. But I may be a rare case. If I started at 20, my results prob would have been a lot better I will admit. Most men don't have boobs and a butt and small size 8 womens shoes and tiny hands. I also look like a replica of my sister and mom while my brothers look like my father. Maybe I have some intersex thing but it doesn't matter, I'm MTF, with hopes of going stealth.

quick summary is basically the younger the higher the chances, but as with all things YMMV due to genetics.

I would say that you will get cast iron guaranteed better results starting early for you, compared to an older version of yourself, not compared to anyone else. So the earlier you start the better.

I'm not sure if you will have all the changes you want but i know when I started hormones including the depo my fat deposit definently were different. My back side really did start to change in a more noticeable way. But like they all said you have to work on getting your old male fat gone

Quick question - how long did it take for your back to start changing? Mine looks like someone dug a trench with a snowplow, and I'd much rather have it nice and smooth. :)
Don't lose who you are along the path to who you want to be.

Ok I have a dumb question. I don't guess it's possible to get on HRT to just help me have a more feminine body shape but not actually wanting to transition is it?  And from what I've read, after awhile in HRT, your male part stops working, no erections. Is that correct?

And then...if that's so, how do all these girls have such feminine shapes and body's (in porn or porn related pictures or whatever) and their male part seems to be working fine?  They look so much like a genetic girl but they've got a penis and it looks to be functioning correctly?

transsexual porn actors are generally taking the surgical route. HEAVY surgery. or they look like women for the most part already. That and a handful of Viagra... well, you get the picture.

Oh, haha. Well I didn't mean total porn stars. I've seen various pictures posted here and there of what appears to be regular people and not stars. But I guess cases vary.
