How HRT Rewrites Your DNA is probably my iconic biological Thing Explainer--it dives into how HRT physically changes your DNA, and how that means that sex is wayyyy fuzzier than people think. stainedglasswoman.substack.com/p/how-hrt-re...

Figuring out that you're trans can be... a lot. Like, A LOT a lot. This is the first of the seven-part story of how I began to question my gender at 35, and came to realize I was trans, over 11 panic-filled days. stainedglasswoman.substack.com/p/part-one-a...

Has your partner just told you that they're questioning their gender, or are trans? Are you freaking out and don't know what to do? This article has a lot of answers for the most common questions cis partners of trans folks have. It gets better. 💜 stainedglasswoman.substack.com/p/oh-st-my-p...

Have you heard a lot of stuff about trans people, and have questions? This is a pretty comprehensive q-and-a of most of The Big Stuff, with detailed sources. Consider it Trans 101. No shame. We've all gotta start somewhere. stainedglasswoman.substack.com/p/what-does-...

Slivers is part of an extended series on how the trauma of living in the closet shapes trans experiences in ways that hurt us long into our transitions. Its tough stuff, but we deserve to heal from our pain. stainedglasswoman.substack.com/p/slivers

I've got big boobies. You probably noticed, if you've seen any of my selfies. A lot of people ask me about how they can get them too. So, I turned a lot of those answers into a guide. Go get stacked! stainedglasswoman.substack.com/p/jiggle-phy...

Thank you so much for writing this! I’ve just begun my transition, so we’ll see what HRT can do at first, but it’s great to have more information from those who’ve been there. At 6’1” tall and a 50” rib cage, I’m going to need some substantial growth to get where I want to be.

Yep, big band sizes often need big implants. The good news is that implant shells up to 1445ccs have now been approved for use in the US, so you've got more options than ever!

I would leave to have boobies ... But I'm satisfied il will be flat chested like forever. After my disease three years ago I'm still at risk with anesthesia and probably will be for ever. One lung still doesn't work and I don't know if this will be good for a transplant. 😞

I don't think I will ever be able to transition the way I'd love.

Also, consider that if I will be eligible for transplant I would need to take immunosuppressants for the rest of my life, and the therapy could have bad interactions with the HRT. I'm fucked either way. I will live trapped in this body without any chance of freedom.

Thanks for this article. I definitely want to go for a natural look myself if I get a BA
