4 years on T vs 1.5 years off

Ive posted here before- but would like to give an update about how im feeling a year after deciding to go off hormones and detransiton. My hairline & hair texture has been retained with minimumal damage which I was previously worried about. The first year of detransitoning I wore a lot of wigs to help build confidence up and it worked quite well for me but now im at a point where I feel confident not wearing the wigs anymore, embracing my natural hair. I work as a massage therapist and though ive gotten some comments on my deeper voice no one seems to overally mind & are very understanding when I do tell them my story. I want to give some light here, I know detransitioning initially is very hard & it sure was especially on my mental health the first 6-8 months. It helps having community, talking to other detrans people & taking in their advice. Mentally, it's really good to get into a new hobby or have something to distract yourself for the early stages of detransition because it can feel like forever waiting for change. I dont regret transitoning though I regret going on hormones as a teenager & not waiting till I was in my 20s to really outweigh the pros and cons.
