But denying them, ignoring them, suppressing the reality of them, only gives them the upper hand, and leads to misery. First, make certain of what you really are. Then, if you actually are a transsexual, deal with it. That is the reality of transsexuality. A number of other things I have been wondering about but havent been able to find any answers on the net so far.
Hormones redistribute fat.
The transexuals whose appearance I have found most pleasing are those who are slim, particularly naval upwards and arms which seems to enhance their femininity. Inevitably, unless you change your diet and your degree of exercise, you will only gain weight on estrogen. In pre-tech times, food was scarce, especially fatty food, and so evolution predisposed us all to crave it, and this is especially so for women. When estrogen is taken, the same genes that control the metabolism of nontranssexual women are activated, and so one begins not merely redistributing fat, but also storing more of it, just like any woman. Interestingly, in my observation, when one enters a level of actual obesity, it seems that fat is stored in a mixed way, that is to say, partly male, partly female.
