I'm starting to feel like too much emphasis is placed on hormones

Like... if I hadn't stated HRT a year ago, and still got hair removal, the hair cut I have, the voice I now have, the make up abilities I now have... I feel like I'd pass just as well even without the facial softening. I dunno.

I know this is true, I lived full time for about 3 years before I started HRT and had no real problems. HRT hasn't "transformed" my life in any substantial way even if it has softened by face and given me some fairly large boobs :P I do feel the spiro/blocking the T did calm me down and IMHO had more effect on how I feel than the E did. I know this because I was on spiro only for about a year before I added E.

I think above anything why HRT was super important is it basically made my brain feel normal and that's true whether living as male or female.
26 years old. Started E in March '14 and Spiro over a year before that. Also, I'm effing awesome.

This wasn't just plain terrible, this was fancy terrible. This was terrible with raisins in it

HRT did more for me than SRS. Does that mean SRS is overrated? of course not. It is all part of the complete package. Without HRT my skin would look grey and rough. HRT gave me glowing baby-like skin, and more fat under my skin smoothing the roughness in my face. But, your mileage may vary indeed. HRT gave me a full B cup. HRT gave me peace of mind. Is that overrated? I think not. It was essential, even more than SRS.
