Just wondering, Is the HRT that FTM's take the same as steroids, like the ones the 'big strong people' in the gyms take or is it different? What about MTF's 'E' it it the female equivalent or is it similar to the steroid kinda thing? Thanks in advance.

They are definitely not the same thing. Please see my comment below. And it would only be worth something in a gym to a total fool. A cis male taking what you're taking would greatly increase his risk of having the T convert to estrogen since his body already is making it and since your T is bio-identical to his. His body would assume he made too much and then via a negative feedback loop slowly shutdown his testes. If it was pure testosterone, without the enanthate, maybe you could sell it in the gym, but overall the modern anabolics are more powerful than pure testosterone.

As a trans man you want balance between androgenic (masculizing effects) and anabolic (muscle gain.) A bodybuilder doesn't necessarily want more androgenic effects. They only want the anabolic effects. Your pro-hormone form of T is optimized for balance of the two so that your "gains" are similar to a cis male puberty. More info

What bodybuilders want is anabolics. They are fast acting and optimized for muscle gain. The gains on your T for a cis male would be trivial compared to something like trenbolone. There's no reason a season bodybuilder with a brain would take what you're taking.

Why do we only ever hear about AFAB detransitioners? Why do you guys let yourself be defined by pronouns if they arent the same as gender? How many of you felt apathetic towards romance before realizing you wanted to transition? Toys? Why do I feel so different whenever I dress up as a girl? Any trans Canadians absolutely terrified of the seemingly inevitable rise of transphobia here? Has anyone else made it years into transition not passing? I'm so dysphoric about the idea that I'll just never pass, and I feel very much alone. Can y’all answer my questions about trans women? What's your stance on self-ID laws? How do you feel safe or positive with the world so hostile towards us? Why does it seem like dysphoric trans fems are a minority in trans fem spaces? gender exploration when on drugs? I hear a lot about MtF women who are lesbians. I haven't heard much about FtM guys who are gay. Do you all have stories where you were married to a man and became a man or your wife/SO transitioned and stayed together? Microdosing Can you get orgasm after HRT?
