Do the physical changes ever feel fake on hormone therapy ? As some of you may or may not know , I've recently started hormones , am happier than I ever can remember to have been and I look forward to see my body changing towards feminin proportions .

Today I was talking with my mother and the question how I felt came up . I told her I was so happy and her response was pretty much upsetting me to be honest . She was happy for me that I was so happy and that I could handle that all the changes occuring on hormone replacement therapy were to be fake , as she stated it . I never felt it that way or even considered looking at it that way . So this came in pretty damn hard . I asked her what she meant with fake and it turned out that my estrogen was just lab made estrogen and that all my changes were only artificial . That my looks would come out of a pharmacy bottle and that she was happy that I could handle having a fake appearence .


Do you ever feel this way ? Is that the way I will feel once physical changes towards feminin will induce on estrogen and blockers ? I never saw it that way . I always saw myself rather as a girl with a birth defect and felt like the estrogen would replace what my body couldn't produce .


How do you feel about " being fake " ? Will it feel that way ?

Thanks for everyone's replies

Well, if it's fake then every human being on the planet is fake.  The biological process is the same whether the source is a pill or a body.  Her argument is both ridiculous and mean spirited.

Love is not obedience, conformity, or submission. It is a counterfeit love that is contingent upon authority, punishment, or reward. True love is respect and admiration, compassion and kindness, freely given by a healthy, unafraid human being....  - Dan Barker
