Title: HRT and cellulite for MtFs
Post by: AbraCadabra on September 04, 2011, 08:50:38 AM
Gee, just having done my legs (epilate) I notice what can be the onset of cellulite...

Now for most GGs it's par for the course of being female, but we (MtFs) are said to be more lucky in this department due our different subcutaneous lattice structure, less stretchy, more tight then AFAB.

It this actually quite true - that we not getting cellulite? Not supposed to get it?

I'm starting to have some doubts.

Then there are those under-cooked chicken-wings (Bingo-wings, mommy-arms), they would be effected just as bad, or?

I wonder what you can tell. Those that been some 1 year plus on HRT.

Thanks all, - oh, and FtM inputs are MORE then welcome, um

Oh, and thank you for the welcome note :-)

Yep got that one... I've recently got it on my KNEES of all places! I didn't even know that could happen until It happened and I googled it... I personally shrug it off hey it's better than the male pattern baldness whitch is what the FTMs get in it's place.

After years of fighting anorexia, I'm learning to be at peace with whatever fat I get on my body.  If it's in a beautiful female pattern, then that's even better.  Nothing but a milestone of how far I've come from the days of starving myself to near-death. :)
