>>10925>they are all at the very least aware that estrogen existsi think you overestimate the average person. they don't know what the fuck that's supposed to be unless they've been exposed to sneedy and/or femboy type grooming shit. not even most cis women who are on birth control (or hormones for any other reason) know what it is and how it works in transsex people.
if you actually put in effort, you can hide the fact you're medically transitioning to female. and if you don't, people will think of everything and anything to excuse any changes they notice (ignoring breast growth here, but probably even that) because they simply don't think it's possible to change ones sex by medically transitioning and have no idea how sex hormones affect the body.
even the mainstream trans/egg spaces on the internet that joke around about estrogen know nothing except that it promotes breast growth or something.
>changes to mood or how you interact with other people<oh anon's just more confident and outgoingas an example, if that's whats changed
>skin changes, body odor, whatever<anon seems to care a lot more about hygienebecause they can't in their right mind make the connection between a man and female body odor, for example. their brain simply can't connect the two. humans are retards
>breast growth<oh anon your moobs have become so big nowbecause how would a biological man ever grow female breasts? doesn't make sense in their worldview.
even if they make the connection between you and femininity, they will at most see you as a weird gay man, again, if you actually put in effort.
you can choose to be seen as a man.
for most (especially older) people, it's enough to have a short "male" haircut and a maleish voice and not wear a dress or something. that's like 80% of people.
