Detransitioning (MTF)

[girl-kat.livejournal.com]

Hi.... 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.

Is there a site that lists every known case (with citation and links) of murderers being let off easy for killing trans persons? I'm very interested in having case numbers and hard data to research, not so much general info.

thanks

What?

I don't know what to make of this. I can't tell if the author is being facetious or is just severely misinformed. Either way, it's still pretty offensive. Thoughts?

And "Hermaphroditism is a sex development disorder in which a person birthed through an incestuous relationship is cursed with both male and female gene tails. They are often called Intersex,Androgynous,In-Between, Gender Benders,Transexuals,Hijras, and Eunuch."
