@thatsthejist48@Wickedcryptid69@buckravers420 try looking at the effects of testosterone vs estrogen. testosterone produces noticeably masculine features in a relatively short amount of time compared to estrogen (facial hair, voice drop, muscle mass etc). estrogen does less to reverse male puberty in more time
@Wickedcryptid69@buckravers420 "youre conflating easier with easy". yes, its rough out here. and with hrt, trans men still have a better shot as passing better and quicker than trans women. doesnt mean its not difficult.
@Wickedcryptid69@buckravers420 gonna let you figure out if wide hips or brow ridge, jaw structure, rib structure etc is easier to hide. i think we have bigger issues than 'small foot size.' im not saying its easy, its just easier to pass than the average trans woman
@buckravers420@Wickedcryptid69 it is true that tesosterone works faster. it is also true that the changes caused by testosterone are highly visible and are more likely to make you 'pass' then anything caused by estrogen in the same time frame. estrogen doesnt reverse male puberty and it takes a long time
trans men can literally bind and go on t for a year and pass fine, estrogen takes 10x longer, have to get multiple surgeries, laser hair removal, voice train, just to remove some of the noticeable effects of male puberty. testosterone does everything for you holy shit
@Wickedcryptid69@buckravers420 the conversation mentioned is almost entirely about testosterone vs estrogen effectiveness. and even pre-t, a pre-t trans men has a much easier time passing than a pre-e trans women. also not sure why you threw in the terf 'female on hormones' thing
@buckravers420@Wickedcryptid69 quite literally never said that. trans men can transitioner easier and faster than trans women, in the scenario that they have access to hormones. testosterone is more effective and works faster than estrogen regardless of age
@buckravers420@Wickedcryptid69 so your tweet is useless since you literally do pass and people just knew you were trans prior. it is easier for trans men
