You have a choice. Use 'em or loose 'em. If you keep up using your muscles, you will keep them, but you may have to work a bit harder to keep them. Stop using them, and they will go away. T helps muscle form and stay around.

You'll gain muscles.

>>5565960
No, you'll lose muscle mass. Muscle mass =/= muscle size.

So your muscles reduce in density?
Does HRT contain tiny helium bubbles that fill muscle tissue?

Will i loose strength? I dont have very big muscles, but i am quite strong, Id rather stay that way.

Isn't muscle marbled with fat, which is what gives it a good taste? Along with fat being less dense than water, wouldn't this explain the difference in density? But besides muscle becoming less dense, I do think that it becomes smaller.

You'll have to work out to maintain strength.
>>
some but you will still be more muscular than the average cis girl, especially if you worked out as a guy
>>
Yes, that is one of the guaranteed results from HRT.

Yes, and she transitioned when she was well into her 30's. There was FFS involved tho.

Did goku lose his muscles when he went in to the HRT chamber?
I think you can answer that question.

What sorcery is this
>>
As MTF, before HRT, I sat around my room coding and doing nothing physical.
After HRT, nothing changed, but now I have trouble opening jars and lifting things that used to be easy.

If you keep doing the same exact thing, you'll probably lose some muscle mass; if you pick it up a little, you could probably maintain it if you want. Some of the most noticeable changes, like reduction in shoulder bulk, come from changes in muscles.

If you're FTM, the reverse is likely true... it definitely makes it easier for them to get swole.

Definitely. I was semi-strong before HRT. Didn't ever exercise but I still had a lot of muscle mass and strength from back when I was in HS and was on my schools weight lifting team. Spent about a year on anti-androgens before starting estrogen, and just on the anti-androgens alone I lost a pretty good deal of mass and strength
