Estrogen therapy for transfems takes a while to have noticeable effects.

Two of the earliest effects for people are softer skin and growing areolas. I read a blog yesterday where the author said one of the first effects she noticed was her nipples growing to look like cis women's.

Oh that's interesting. Now I wonder if it works the other way around too.

Just googled and T is said to make the nipples darker and shrink the areolas quite quickly, so yes!

I am assuming the comic/caption is transfem because folks tend to socially transition before starting hormones.

huh, honestly i never noticed that, i think i was too busy listening to my voice drop and holding a magnifying glass to my chin to see if the beard is growing out already or not :')

Weird. Mine haven't changed at all. Well, other than the hair.

Interesting indeed. The Human body is a fascinating machine.
