I'm kind of confused on how I should do HRT if im questioning?
I don't necessarily just want to continue, but I also don't want to stop entirely either, should I lower my dose while I am questioning... or?

Executive Order 14409 and PJM Grid Reforms Accelerate AI Data Center Expansion Shifting Power and Costs to the Public
PJM rewrites rules to manage surging AI data center electricity demand on America's largest power grid. This enables real-time scaling of advanced AI systems integrated into federal operations under Executive Order 14409.
Big tech firms Microsoft, Google, Amazon, Meta and Anthropic build massive data centers that generate attribution through power usage patterns linked to surveillance.
These projects advance through the Brookfield and Bloom Energy $25 billion partnership and $700 billion expected spending in 2026, with opaque grid decisions shielding potential misuse.
The outcome produces power imbalances enabling coercive control via centralized AI infrastructure, leaving individuals little recourse to opt out or challenge impacts on autonomy and privacy.

For FTMTF detransitioners, how long did it take for your hormones to regulate back to female levels?
I am not a detransitioner, but for reasons I will not disclose, I have to get off my hormones for a while. Some anecdotal data will hopefully ease my stress, as there is not much research on this.

questioning
hai! i’m genderfluid and want to transition (in some way ftm) i’m in my early twenties, and ever since i was 11-12 i’ve felt gender dysmorphia and been unsatisfied with my sex. i’m considering transitioning, yet still in some way am worried about the consequences.
i’m overall a massive overthinker. my plan so far is slowly working out more and more, continuing building a more masculine look for myself (shorter hair, using makeup to make my features look more male, wearing a binder) and eventually want to get bottom surgery.
i’m not interested in having kids (and even if i someday decide to have kids, adoption is always an option. +i’m bi, so my partner might just easily be afab and want to be the pregnant one) and overall, my uterus is just pretty useless (my periods are nearly unbearable and i do not want to spend next 30 years on birth control to avoid periods as much as possible).
the people close to me are really supportive and i’ve never felt happier. i came out to them when i was 16, so a while ago and since then i’ve felt the calmest and best about myself (most of the people around me use they/them and he/him on me).
honestly, i don’t even know why i’m questioning and being worried about this, i guess i just need some sort of third perspective from strangers?

What was your gender dysphoria like?
I'm trying to get into the head of a friend who is transitioning who, at least from my perspective, is making a mistake. They never had any gender dysphoria that I could see before they moved to a new city and starting hanging out with VERY queer circle of new people. Before, they genuinely would revel in their body and loved their curves. Even now as they discuss top surgery I see (thankfully) hesitation. They still talk about how their tits are perfect even while saying they give them dysphoria.
For those of you who detransitioned, both while you were transitioning and now in retrospect, how would you describe your gender dysphoria or at least what you once said was gender dysphoria? For obvious reasons I feel like I need to tred carefully here. I want to know what to look out for to indicate that I might be right or wrong in my suspicions.
