It honestly makes such a difference.
First thing I noticed on cypro

    Note to all readers that like all hrt effects, this is a YMMV thing. My skin was moderately soft before hrt, and hrt had no effect whatsoever on it. Was very confused at first by the people freaking out about skin changes, and I was sitting there like “uhhhhh your skin is supposed to change?”

    I can’t remember now exactly when this happened, but maybe a few months into HRT i touched my tummy and i was like woah it’s so soft like touching a girl’s- ooooh that’s because i am a girl!! Huge euphoria.

    There are times, especially before i got my blahaj plushies, if i am feeling unhappy i rub my tummy and it helps remind me that i did so much to get to that moment in time, and that feeling of euphoric comfort gets me to the next moment because i am worth it. And you are too.
