I used they/them pronouns publicly for a bit. Basically nobody used them. Common but disheartening story. I was surprised by how HRT changed my emotions for the better immediately. I thought the main point of HRT was the gradual visual changes.

In practice, this just stops people from exploring and having fun for no good reason
