It's been three years since starting hormones, two years since bottom surgery, no lost of strength at all, that I've noticed. There are many other changes since hormones but strength is not one of them.

I saw a change in as less as 4 months. I remember a friend of mine asking me to pass a bag that weighed approx. 4 kgs and I couldn't help but notice the amount of strength I had to put, which otherwise I would have done at an ease. In my case I have notices quite some loss in stamina as well.

Two months in.  At work we have 80 pound bags of concrete that I could pick up with no problem and now them puppies are getting heavy!  I was fairly strong before (used to lift weights) so YMMV.
Your current situation is not your final destination.

Not sure if it's technically strength related as it doesn't require heavy lifting but every time I brush my hair my arms feel very heavy and sore quite easily from only about 10 seconds of lifting/brushing.
