Yeah I am not large boned. I can wear most woman's watches. My hands are small. My fingers are small. I'm under six feet tall. I have wide hips. My shoulders are more broad then I would like but fall within the female range. My arm if held straight down palms out go out away from my body below the elbow.
My build wasn't from HRT. I started transitioning when I was 28 so my skeleton was fully developed at that point. It was pure genetics. I also ate a normal male diet so it wasn't like I was loading up on soy and stuff.
The only thing that made me male was the plumbing which was a cruel joke.
Our male Black Labrador is close to 100 pounds. He is a large dog and gets excited on the leash. The funny thing is I have him walking on the leash better then my boyfriend who is a large guy.
You mean you have a cute little doggy! Mine is a Rottweiler/Great Dane mix, and it is only a girl. The dog would be close to 150 lbs if it was a male!
The dog is the reason that I have a decent size SUV, because she needs the entire trunk to feel comfortable in it.
But as I mentioned, when we walk through the woods, I am not really afraid of anybody, and the dog acts like :bring it on stranger, bring it on! Her mentality is definitely more Rottweiler than Great Dane!
Well, because my funny chromosome mutations, I am also more female than male, but because of the XXY, I am also tall. I just tried to do your shoulder measurement trick, and it seems as if my hips are a fraction wider than my shoulders, but I know a ton of cis women who have not really wide hips. It seems to me as if most Nordic women have the smaller hips, while almost all Latino women have wider hips.
When you do the thing with your arms, do you mean you point the palms to the front? If I do that, mine hands are almost a foot away from my hips, while the upper part of the arm down to the elbow, is pressed tightly against the body.
I must also fall right into the female range for women of my size, because I can buy my clothing at any clothing store, and it fits, most of the time even without trying.
But I know that I am genetically female to a large part, and it just makes sense that my body is shaped that way, too. I just wonder why nature played the stupid trick not giving me any body hair, but insisting on me having a beard? I would have gladly taken hair under my armpits instead!
But it doe not matter what would have been nice, I have to deal with what I have. I am grateful that I do not have to bother with an hair on my body, arms or legs (and the thought that there are people with hair on their hands and fingers kind of makes me shiver), my hands are considered to be small for a person of my size, my feet are small enough that I can find nice shoes to put on (bought a pair of pumps yesterday), and I don't have an Adams Apple, and no hair loss at all, and natural breast growth without any hormones.
My main problem is, like yours was that I have the male plumbing parts to deal with. But they are so little, and I don't really need to do the stuff, I read here, others have to do to hide them. They are kind of self hiding.
But all that has nothing to do with your weight loss! I am still absolutely amazed about the dedication you have to reach your dream weight. You tug along, a few ounces a time, while I try to find a million excuses not to have to exercise today!
