transHi.... some of you may remember me, as I posted a while back about butch transwomen.
I am a transwoman, that is, MTF (non-op), and I've been on hormones for, about 2 1/2 years now. I'm wondering right now if it's been a good idea......
Whether it's right for me to "detransition" and stop hormones is something that I have to decide...... But I want to better understand just what would happen if I did stop hormones.
If I stopped taking estrogen, how much would return back to how it was before I started? And how much would be different, or irreversible? I tried doing some research on this and I suck at Googling for this kind of thing..... And I'm hoping that there may be at least a couple people here who have gone through the same thing. I do actually know someone IRL who was on T for a couple years and stopped, but they wouldn't really be able to answer the kind of questions that I have. =\
So I guess that's all. Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.....

Edit: Thank you for responding ..... I knew about some of these changes already, I guess, what's especially unknown for me is what effects there are on reproductive organs. I doubt that things down there return to exactly as they were before, but I would want at least an idea of what one could expect ...... and to clarify, like I said, I'm non-op, so, I've not had any physical changes aside from hormones and electrolysis for my face.
