Been on HRT since 2022 and there have been changes! Fat redistribution is one of the more gradual effects of HRT but it's doable. Also there are lots of women who don't have that hourglass shape. One of my best friends is a cis woman who is straight up and down. I still find her very pretty.
I'm gonna try to lose weight in the meantime, so when i do feel safe enough to try, i wont be fighting male fat distribution as hard. That and bigger thighs and butt. My legs are gonna be fuckin clouds, i already wear a larger size of thigh high sock and they're relatively lean ๐
I say live your life, unless you live in a truly hostile area where you could get killed then take HRT of you want to.
I am doing HRT but still no hips ๐ญ.
My hips to belly ratio actually got worse on HRT because of weight gain...
Trans female, post SRS here.
HRT can't give you bigger hips after your bone plates fuse together (after puberty) but, it can distribute fat after some time and dependent on your level of Estrogen vs Testosterone.
An alternative is that you can wear hip pads to emulate those dream hips, and get that figure.
Good luck, ~K
I'm not sure that's entirely true, my hips grew (and are still growing) even though I started at 20.
I heard that it got more complicated after 25 but anecdotaly some trans women have reported some hip bone growth after that.
Fat redistribution does the grunt of the work anyways...
