I haven't found scientific evidence of this, but quite a few women have told me they feel mildly intoxicated from eating very dark/pure chocolate. I wonder if it interacts with oestrogen, giving women more of a buzz than men get from it.

I don't recommend pills over Patches or Injections, but if you take them, you need to let them dissolve under your tongue: do not swallow them whole. You want estradiol solutes in your mouth/esophagus that your flesh will absorb directly with the water, not to go through your digestive system which will either break it down or filter it out.
Again, most people who've been doing this a while recommend Injections or Patches over pills, simply because those have easier and better absorbtion.
"Santoro and other physicians say that before spending lots of money on products that make big promises, it’s important for women to talk to their doctors about what has actually been proven to help — and what could be harmful.
'It really pays to be very, very, very skeptical,' Santoro said."

Women suffering through the hot flashes, night sweats, mood changes and sleep problems that can come with menopause — all while looking in the mirror and noticing signs of aging — are being bombarded with products. More open conversations about menopause and the period leading up to it — called perimenopause — are happening just as marketing has been supercharged by social media. Doctors say that before spending money on products that make big promises, it’s important for women to talk to their doctors about what has actually been proven to help — and what could be harmful.
lol, I have boobs. 😋
Sharing a SFW (?) photo of how I usually am, walking around my apartment, and how I kinda wish I could present casually: nippy. This is comfortable because my breasts are small and perky, and haven't reached a density where bounce hurts. Unless you were to grab my chest, when presenting masc, you might just think I have "super pecs".
I have a wide chest though. If you were to cup them and pull them together, my "density" becomes far more evident. 😖
I'm still small though, which is what I like. However, I believe my breasts may be beginning to fill in. Not shown (😉), looking at my chest straight on, my breasts seem to cast a curvy self shadow on the bottom. It's subtle of course, but it's not something I previously noticed. 16 months on estrogen, normal dose (i.e. not monotherapy), no blockers or prog.
This doesn't necessarily bother me, but it does seem to signal that my braless days could be numbered. 🤔
Not hiding anything for today(CW). In case you need: eye contact, bare feet
New dress in da house! 👗✨
And what a day to show up fully ... today is Trans day of visibility, and honey, visibility is kind of my thing. 💜🤍💛🖤
So ... you might remember the quite short dress i wore at the office the other day. Shorter, a little more "weekend energy". This one is its slightly more office-compatible sibling ... still flowy, still navy, still very much me ... but hitting a little lower on the thigh 😄(and still short though .. hehe)
Femby vibes are strong today ... and honestly every day. This is not a phase, this is not a costume, this is just Tuesday. Except today it's also Trans day of visibility. So it's a Tuesday with extra steps. 💜
And can we talk for a second about what two years of estrogen and apparently very cooperative genetics are doing under this dress? Because the silhouette is not subtle and I am not sorry. BOOBIES FTW. 🎉🎉 This is what joy looks like :o)
Never hiding. Not the boobies. Not the thick thighs ... which are front and center and absolutely saving lives as they always do. Not the brief panel of my tights playing peek-a-boo under the hem. Not the footless 120 DEN knee stockings doing their thing on the lower leg while my bare feet live their best life on the office carpet. Not any of it. Never. 👣
Visibility isn't just for today ... but today we celebrate it a little louder. 📣
And speaking of Snag Tights ... 30 DEN, nude, barely there, and yet very much there as the pinch-proof photo demonstrates. If you know, you know. If you don't know yet ... go find out. Snag is not a brand, Snag is a religion. No competition. Echt nicht. 🙏
Proud. Loud. Barefoot. Layered in nylon. Visible. Showing up exactly as I am.
That's the vibe. That's always the vibe. 🖤👣
