Yeah a cis dude might get testosterone if his normal testosterone is low. I assume there’s something similar for women. I don’t think that’s what this guy is talking about though.
It’s fairly common for women to start taking estrogen post menopause because their estrogen levels drop, and that can cause issues like losing bone density. I believe HRT was originally developed specifically for that reason, and it was only later that they tried using it to treat gender dysphoria.
But in this case, they specifically call out being a femboy on HRT, which I think pretty clearly says that they’re on estrogen for that female figure. Whether it’s DIY or just informed consent is anyone’s guess, though.
Think some HRT femboys do consider themselves cis. At that point tho imo it’s just a matter of personal labels since they are definitely non conforming
I know a straight cis femboy who wants to take HRT - I dont fully understand it, but I respect its his right to do what he wants with his body and identify however he pleases.
Some people just want more customization options I guess
Is self-identified cis people getting HRT a thing? I’m genuinely curious, I assume it’s all DIY, right? In any case, that was a wild ride

I thought “straight” ≠ “cis”, only “hetero”, but I may have been wrong

They never said cis, did they? Could be a transman.
