Hi Johanna! No, they don't... but I'm taking it anyway... Low dose.. Once a day instead of twice, so my changes will take longer, less noticeable, but still change.. girls briefs or hipsters, they pack the dangling participles.. tighter.. Spiro shrinking things down, so the panties are better for me.
It's monsoon here in AZ.. Couple biiiiiig cells rolling thru right now. Heavy, beautiful rain!!
On a really good note.. I came out to 16 of my girl friends on FB, and every one of them (now) have accepted who,and what I am.. They had known me as Anne for several years, so even tho.. I'm.. Look like I do right now, they only knew me as female, and that's how they accept me now. My life, has been immensely better this past week because of them. Even met one for brkfast the other day. It was wonderful. I love them all, doubly more now. Most exciting thing is... Most of them are bi!

YOU GO GIRL, good for you, good on you, awesome, yayyyyyyyyyyyyaY.
If there are any fun details that appropriate for the sexuality forum of this website at some point...well, we are reading...
This is SOOO awesome that you have such great female friends on FB. How truly wonderful they have accepted you.
So, I guess it almost goes without saying that you will be wearing pretty, comfortable panties when you talk with them, or visit with them in person.
Monsoon season in Phoenix and Tucson has oppressive humidity and heat. Flag is nicer at this time of year, yes? Or at least Payson if you can't get all the way to Flag.
GREAT Paula, that you can take low dose anti androgen.
Yeah, spiro can help shrink things which can only be good, girl.
Once you get a little more feminine physically, so you don't have to totally live a lie anymore...
Then maybe it might be easier to get your family to accept full-dose pure estrogen (17 beta estradiol or estradiol valerate like I take) and full dose pure progesterone (micronized progesterone, like I take, or any other comparable pure form that is not synthetically altered).
And if you get a little breasts or more feminine feature, this might help easier convince your therapist, MD, endo, or other "gatekeepers."
It is too bad when family or friends act as "gatekeepers" as sometimes even therapists and MD's can. Good therapists don't IMO, they talk you through your potential femaleness.
Be the fearless female that you say you are, inside.
Fly free!
Johanna.
