From my understanding how a body responds to HRT is basically down to luck. Changes can be large, small, fast and slow. The chances of seeing large changes might decrease over time but is probably never zero.

One thing to note is that we are often our worst critics. We see all the things that haven't changed or things changed so gradually that we never noticed. These changes can be obvious to those around us while we remain blind to them.

The question I would ask is do you want to continue taking HRT? Is it causing you an undue burden or harm? Will stopping make you feel better? Will stopping make you feel worse? These are probably things to discuss with a doctor to help you come to a decision.

I wouldn't go that far. You don't have to inject testosterone to be a REAL™ man. But it is probably safe to assume a subset of REAL™ men do.

I would be tempted to tell her my adverb is fabulously.

"I fabulously eat. I fabulously think. And I'm going to fabulously walk away from this conversation now."

I have the urge to edit it to have a laser beam now.

It's from a meme about an IKEA stuffed shark that gained traction within the trans community. It's actually what the instance, blahaj, this community is hosted on is named after.

This is the oldest source I can find. Now that I'm looking it is taged #my art.

I tracked the source image back to here. I'm guessing either she made some stickers for herself or someone else did a one off printing for themselves. I can't find them for sale anywhere.

Hopefully nothing.

Some tucking techniques use tape to keep things in place.

It would be. There's a grocery store near me that remodeled and changed their restrooms to individual rooms. Now there's just a bank of ~8 gender neutral restrooms. It's very nice.

Nope. But it might get old the nth time or if you didn't do something you think shouldn't of outed you.

It's kind of the paradox of being stealth. If you are successful no one notices. So you don't get feedback that you are successful.

No but there's a couple subtlies here. If you are calling someone brave, the context is important. It can come off as condescending. Also coming out isn't an all or nothing thing, see here.

Also in this comic they aren't saying they are brave for coming out. They are saying they are brave for being cis. The underlying assumption there being that being cis or trans is a choice that one can be brave for.
