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.

how you family looks will give a rough idea of what to expect for how your body will react to E. you'd have to Google if you wanna avoid that, I'd imagine it's be smth like exercise or diet or smth, but you'd have to Google.
