I'm two years into HRT now and it's been quite a ride. Clothing: I don't always buy new. I bought much of my wardrobe at thrift stores. Some items were hand-me-downs from my mom. I only buy new if I absolutely need to. Makeup: Why is it so expensive? There's no reason for makeup to be expensive. Thankfully, I work in a major chain drugstore and get 20% off for working there, so I don't pay as much for my makeup. Beats going to Ulta, which is overpriced. Mood and emotions: I have far more access to more emotions than I did when I ran on testosterone. I cry more often than I did before. Highs are higher and lows are lower. The time has gone by very quick since I started transitioning two years ago. Estrogen and spironolactone have saved my life. They've done far more for me than anything else ever did.

"You're not going to look like a Victoria's Secret model," she says, while looking like a model. XD <333

14 months on HRT. I expected the emotion stuff.. I expected the loss of strength and the weird food cravings, the change in taste buyds, I expected the scent changes.. both the sense of smell and what I smell like.. and the sweating less.. what I did NOT expect was how much boobs sweat! It seems they picked upp ALL the slack when the rest of the body reduced the sweating. I mean god DAMN these things can sweat! Haven't had bottom surgery yet but yea my libido has shifted from low to gone. Oh well.

I didn’t start to transition until I was 41. I’ve been through a lot of changes as well since I’ve been on hrt since March of last year. I’m much happier now. I love your videos

Mathilda , my father yelling at me for 1 hours because of i am watching your videos I am really so sick of his transphobia , he is like you are gonna be dead if u don't stop wanting to look like that thing to me, I am really so sorry to send this comment but there is no one that I can talk to . Maybe someone lives similiar things can find me thanks to that comment .

I put off transitioning for a long time because of the fallout from other people, namely family. In the end my reasoning was better a trans daughter than a dead son. Sorry for the grim. Anyways I've been on HRT since 26/5/2021 and have had some wonderful changes xx

I'm watching to see what my girlfriend will go through once she begins her transition and how I can support. Very useful video. 👌

My first time shopping for makeup, I went to Ulta. It was busy. I took my stuff and got in Iine. I got to the register and the girl rang me up. I looked at the total and said “who knew being a girl was so expensive!”. All the women in line laughed. 😂

15 months on hrt. Something else to note is the speed can be very different. I have a trans friend that changed drastically within her first few months, but then started to change slowly. On the other hand, I started off slow but continued to make progress as time went on. Never look at timelines and expect to be a certain place at a certain time. Instead, understand it may take a while and just be happy if you change faster than expected

Hi, Mathilda. I'm Corey, and I just subscribed to your Chanel. I'm writing this message as I'm watching your video. I want to let you know that you have my total support. I want to let you know that I'm the kind of person who accepts other people for who they are deep inside, because I know what it's like to be different, because I have a disability physically. And my disability does make me different. But, I got through the rough times I had growing up. I was picked on a lot when I was growing up, because of me having a disability. Plus, i was born with a Cleft palette and lip, but I had good Drs who did every they could to help me. I wish you all the best with your YouTube Chanel, good luck with it. Corey. Corey Hansen from Canada.

I’m going the opposite direction as you (FTM), and while I expected just about all of the changes I’ve gone through in 3 years of HRT, I didn’t think I’d change to such a degree. My muscle and fat structure totally changed, I have nearly the voice I’ve always wanted to have, my facial structure is more defined, and I went from a C cup to an A cup. It’s incredible! Still gotta work on the beard growth patterns though, it doesn’t want to crawl past my neck yet.

Becoming the true u isn't cheap. Being female cost a lot of money. But I knew about everything u said.

Thank you for telling us more facts Mathilda! It helps me alot cause im also in htr, thanks a lot for everything you are amazing✨

Thanks a lot for your sharing all this, these past few months I've been watching your videos and you helped me a lot to undestand and accept a lot of things in my life, I finally accepted myself and I want to begin this important change in my life, even if my path is a bit different by your, your videos helped and encouraged me a lot, and I can really say in few month my life already improved a lot since I beginned to be and accept myself. You are a really nice person and are you helping a lot of us unsure on how a transition path works and everything, I hope your life will be happy and that your channel continues to help as many people as it is doing for me!

from my experience im so glad it wasnt hard for the people around me to accept the changes that I did, I still hangout with friends that I met more than 10 years ago, Im so grateful for that Also, there are a couple more changes u didnt mention that are worth mentioning, without realizing u will change the way u walk, like a woman which is such a subtle but noticeable change when u are walking down the streets, another weird change is the way u smell other men, like maybe its just me but depending on the situation I get turned on by smelling a guy either bc hes sweaty (without being too dirty) or he just smells good.

your videos are helping me so much with giving me information that I need and gain the courage to begin the transition and tell everybody what I truly am. Sometimes I dont accept myself and you are being so much important to me

Your comment about how you have to remember that you're not suddenly going to change into a Victoria's Secret model or something is very good advice. I'm a transmasc person and when I went through puberty the first time (with my AFAB girl hormones), I had this idea that I was going to end up looking like a supermodel. Was disappointed to find out that post-puberty me looked just like pre-puberty me, except like 2 inches taller, with a big butt and cellulite and free trip to the 5th circle of hell for a week every month. 😕 Now that I'm just starting puberty for the 2nd time (today 11/02/2022 it's been 11 days since my first testosterone shot!), I'm a little older and can manage my expectations a little better and realize I'm probably not gonna emerge from boy puberty looking like a bodybuilder either!

My sense of smell and my personal scent changed SO much. And my libido is through the damn roof. Those were the biggest changes for me I wasn’t expecting!

There were a lot of things I expected from HRT, but expecting them and living them are 2 entirely different things! So far, everything has been a surprise. I think the most shocking change was in my libido not because of how much less it is but because I experience those feelings differently and who I’m attracted to changed significantly. I didn’t realize how much of my attraction from before was gender envy.
