The election made me realize that I do, in fact want to (re)start HRT.

Mid-30s, deep-voiced AMAB here. I took HRT for about a year, then stopped because I thought I would never be able to make things "align" gender and presentation wise.

Today, I had a meeting with my mental health provider, and with a clarity I didnt even realize, said "Yeah, I wanna restart my HRT."

It's not that cis-womanhood is the goal. It's that being perceived as a cis-men feels wickedly inaccurate.
