Lol, because scripts for estrogen are so easy to come by as a man.
DIY
Bit of a leap to assume that rather than just some shady “order your overseas meds online” site. Also, that really doesn’t go with the whole “I had no idea that estrogen would do this to me” thing.
That's often how diy works, yes
Hmmm yes, average "straight" "male" on 4chan
Fake and gay
"Absentmindedly", like it was an accident?
C-cups in a year?
Such nonsense, very 4chan.
C cups sound big but on a trans woman they might not be. I got C cups in 6 months and you wouldn't know it to look at me.
Six months? Damn, you're speedrunning shit. I got the same, 7 months in.
Rn 8 months. Maybe it's because of the band width being wider, so the fat is more spread out. I got 80C in my case, so it's just about visible.
trade me your awesome genes🙏😭
For real, I've been on E for over two years and I'm just barely past an A-cup.
The best indicators are to look at your parents and siblings, then perhaps auncles and niblings/cousins. Primarily the femme ones.
Then take a cup size less (especially if you started after the first puberty). Following that logic I'd be looking at getting a D... so yay?
You could also factor in the masculine members by doubling/tripling what they would have, but that's more complicated. Best to just stick to your closest fem relatives for comparison.
YMMY, though. It's highly dependent and the best way is to have a bit extra fat when you start on E. Assuming you start with a healthy weight: cycle each week: eat more, then burn it when you eat a bit less and sport more. Fat redistribution will then go faster. Helps to squat too (for the hips, belly and legs).

😭 did I mention I am Japanese?
Do you get your levels tested, I had really shit levels on oral/sublingual and got like 10x the breast growth on 6 months injections than several years of pills.
Yeah, I'm tested quarterly. The low E works for me 'cuz I'm nonbinary and prefer a mixed hormonal balance.
What's 4chan?
A forum that started about anime fandom where you post anonymously without any registration. It has really lax content policy and a wide variety of categories, so naturally it is a breeding ground for fringe politics and social movements as well as dank memes.
I avoid it like the plague.
I definitely tried to be as absent minded about it all for the first year. Mentally things happen fast. Physically, if you are waiting to actually see something you'll go crazy. You have to pretend like nothing unusual is going on and boom 3 or 4 months go by and you actually notice the difference. I can't be the only one that did this.
I felt like they were doing shit for the first few months, kept taking them but I'd sorta given up expectations, year in suddenly I realize I have boobs
Mind, I'm autistic, have ocd, and a generally chaotic irl, I am not claiming to he normal
I had a friend who took a photo every day. Can confirm, she went crazy. She has a really cool timelapse now though, which she says was almost worth the inordinate amount of mental anguish she caused herself.
Seems pretty small for a sterotypical overweight internet edge lord.
What has their weight to do with it? Really no reason to fat-shame! :(
For boobs? It helps. You never heard of fat boobs?
Sure, although in most trans women not as much that C cups would be seen as small.
Anyways, that's not what the other person was talking about. They used specifically "overweight" as a term to devaluate someone.
That's your interpretation. The context is getting large boobs in a year of hormone therapy. The other person said that the typical 4chaner edgelord is overweight and thus shouldn't be so hard to get bigger boobs in a year.
The devaluating part of the term is "edgelord", not "overweight", you are for some reason bringing fat shaming into the convo when it's about edgelord shaming of overweight people.
"Overweight" is a fat-shaming term in itself and it is loaded with social stigma and devaluation...
Overweight is an adjective. It is absolutely not a fat shaming term. As a former fat kid I can attest there are far worse terms than being called "overweight" and I'm genuinely curious why you have such an issue with a non-issue word?
I want to know how the fuck you "absent-mindedly" get your hands on estrogen because there are some trans friends of mine who've had massive issues with sourcing it.
Absent-minded =/= accidentally
Fair point but I'm still confused how one could happen to have E lying around the place absent-mindedly.
I intentionally got an E prescription, but by the time the prescription was filled, dissociation made me feel like I was just a different person again and I was numb to the idea of taking them, so I was just taking it because the previous me thought I should. So I took it absentmindedly for a little bit (but that was only like days, not months).
Anyways, its 4chan, so obviously its fake and gay™.
Where I'm at, a lot of the weed dealers have shifted to E post-legalization. You love to see it
