Cis men on HRT

[Linde]

I seem to be one of the persons, who do not really feel any reaction from HRT.  My body has not changed, my emotions have not changed (only my feet swelled up).
My current endocrinologist has no idea what is going on, and that is the reason why I will be seeing the super duper transgender endo specialist next week. 
It could be that my genetic makeup shows no real reaction to this stuff (as I know from my genome analysis, my body will not metabolize most opioides).  It could be another chromosomal mutation, like the one I have not having had any wisdom teeth (chromosomal mutation called MYH16).  I don't really know, what all in my body is caused by chromosomal mutations and what not, but my XXY symptoms surely did not help to make my body "normal"!

The same physical changes we embrace they would recoil from.  Therefore if a "cismale" takes hrt he ain't really a cis male

Unless he's taking it for other reasons, like prostate cancer.. And yes, there is a shift back to estradiol among oncologists - due to the lower risk profile they found when compared to antiandrogens.

I may be wrong, but I think there's a distinction between hormone therapy and hormone replacement therapy.

Wouldn't hormone therapy eventually become hormone replacement therapy, as testosterone production shuts down?
