I am just wondering if this musle in the palms of the hands reduces over time on hrt?

I've been on HRT for 4+ years.  My hands look smaller than they did.
My biceps were 15/16 inches and are now 12/13 inches; however my male shirt sleeve is 34/35 before and after.  My shoulder blades protrude and were once next to large deltoids.  The HRT will change you dramatically over time.  I've been told that very muscular males can take seven years to get to the muscle mass of  genetic females.  The endo told me I will change very little in muscle mass; however as I age I will lose muscle mass naturally if I do not exercise.  Yes your hands will look more feminine than they did before HRT.
