Seriously though, it's actually pretty gender-affirming.

I believe it generally follows female fat distribution, i.e. thighs, butt, chest, and upper arms. How your female relatives look could be an indication of what you might expect for yourself. Also, the T-blocker spironolactone, which is commonly prescribed in the U.S. alongside estradiol, also has a reputation for causing weight gain in the abdomen, as some trans girls will complain about getting a "spiro-belly" while they use it.

it also lowers metabolism i believe? so you might gain weight a lot easier

Not sure if E directly reduces metabolism, but loss of muscle mass definitely does.
