Howdy, sorry for the stupid, and probably easily-resolvable question, but, after starting the procedures for my transition, I have been feeling somewhat alive again, and kinda want to fix, and mantain my body in a decent state. Do you all have some tips you can share regarding self care before hrt that could help, I'm basically, quite, ignorant on this stuff, and I'm pretty sure even the way I shave is horribly wrong, aha.

For me, it was getting in to running and getting active. After a lifetime of being inactive, it let me start to feel connected to the body I'm in, and feel proud of what it can do.

I’ve never really heard it out this way, but I like it! Thanks for the perspective

I honestly should start doing that, it is a good idea

It sounds worse than it is. Even good habits aren’t born overnight.

If it turns out that running isn't your thing, I'd recommend trying some sports. Climbing is basically the only exercise that doesn't bore me to death. Plus, they're a great way to meet people, and a lot of cities have a queer specific league.
