    The muscle goes away quite a bit faster once you’re estrogen dominant, and the potential highs of strength are lower, but you absolutely can keep your muscles.

    I rock climb regularly and have been on HRT for the length that allows me to perform with the cis, and I still am quite muscular for a woman. I love it.

        I can’t say I feel less dead inside, but I feel less shit otherwise when I’ve exercised. I understand it’s hard to get the motivation when you don’t have a dog to walk or a team you’re on. Idk.

        YMMV, but HRT has definitely helped me feel a lot less dead inside. So much so that

        I haven’t felt any suicidial ideation in over a year at this point, while before it was a nigh constant phenomenon.

        E is not a magic bullet, but it is something that can mark a marked positive difference in your life. I hope this helps.
