Well, it is well known fact that estrogen produces an altered quantum state in the keratin protein (the stuff that makes up ur skin), to return to its basal state the keratin has to emit a photon, hence the glow.

I have been saving a lot in my electric bill since I started HRT!!!

it makes your skin looker soft and radiant

and "milky" (was it alaina who said it?).

Yup. Lol! The stratus cornium layer (upper "horny" layer) of the skin smoothes out over time. This produces a smoother "milky" effect when combined with the "glow".

I would say that most of the feminising effect comes from the overall texture and pigmentation change. Therefore, I believe the women that have the least testosterone produced bone growth in the face are the ones that are sure to pass after just a few months of HRT.

Isn't that what they call it when women sweat? "Men sweat, women glow."

I haven't noticed any particular increase in auto-lumination. Other than the blinding glare of reflected sunlight off temporarily exposed body-parts. :P

Or pallid and corpse-y, depending on your perspective. I've got this whole bluish-tinge thing going on now.

It's "Horses sweat, men perspire, women glow" :).

I certainly sweat a lot less than I used to and the smell of the sweat is nowhere near as strong. I came across an old unwashed shirt of mine and the stench of male musk on it was astounding. Also if I use a house toilet after a man has been in there the smell of male urine is really noticeable (and I am talking about men who do NOT miss the bowl and remember to flush)

OMG yes...I never noticed the men's room stench before HRT, but now...*phew!*

Where's my can of Glade(tm)!?!

  It makes the post-menopausal women glow as well.  This as seen in the old Lauren Hutton HRT commercials that ran before the increased cancer announcement.

I notice some of that effect.  However, being in a shower room full of age 50 pluses last week it is not as bad as the younger set.  The so-called andropause has its effects as well, some of those fellows still have bigger boobs than I and they are not trying!  Also males do tend to eat more hardier meals than the females and that adds to the stench.
