you should not be scared of your parents

you should not be scared of your parents

being your parent does not give them the right to degrade you, embarrass you, neglect you, make you feel worthless, abuse you, or make you feel scared

there’s a difference between being disciplined for acting up and being terrified of wobbling slightly out of line even once

you should not be scared to be yourself

you should not want to live on the streets

you should not be called names

you should not be scared of your parents

I’m wanting to learn more about HRT (I’m considering it a little) are there many more major sex hormones other than testosterone or estrogen? If so, what are they?

There are a lot of hormones in your body, including a lot of sex hormones, but the main ones used in transitioning are testosterone, estrogen, and progesterone. In males, T is responsible for basically all of the male sex characteristics, and in females, E is responsible for most of the female sex characteristics. I’ve heard of some trans women taking progesterone as well, but I believe it’s less common than E. 

When a trans person is considering HRT, if they are afab (born female), they will take testosterone. T is a stronger hormone than E, so unless they’re underage and on a very low dose, they don’t have to take estrogen blockers. If they are amab (born male), they take estrogen and androgen blockers. Testosterone is an androgen, so by blocking it, they’re allowing estrogen to be the dominant hormone in their body.

Did that answer your questions about HRT?

The fact that nobody is talking about Secret’s new commercials pisses me off
