VAMOS HABLAR INGLÉS Podcast Episode 15: “One Year on Estrogen & 26 Years of Becoming” In this November episode, I take a deep breath and reflect on a full year on estrogen—what shifted in my body, what shifted in my spirit, and what I didn’t expect to feel along the way. Since it’s also my birthday month, I zoom out even wider: 26 years of gender + sexuality—of searching, masking, surviving, experimenting, unlearning shame, and finally learning how to come home to myself. I talk about the “second puberty” reality in a grounded way: the emotional waves, the softness, the patience it forces, the grief that can rise up, and the quiet joy of noticing yourself change in real time. I also break down the realistic first-year timeline: for many transfeminine people, some changes tend to begin within the first few months, while “full” results can take years—which is both frustrating and deeply affirming (because it means there’s still room to keep becoming). I also bring in a few affirming stats, because I want listeners—especially Black trans women—to feel the bigger picture. One major survey found that 98% of people who accessed gender-affirming hormone therapy said it made them more satisfied with their lives. Another report found that access to gender-affirming care is associated with a lower prevalence of suicide attempts (which is one more reason community care and medical access matter so much). And in data focused on Black trans folks, so many of us are still choosing ourselves and moving forward in our transitions—even while navigating systems that were never built to hold us gently. Becoming isn’t a finish line. It’s a practice. Feliz cumpleaños to me. Feliz becoming to you. 💛 Hosted by: LA REINA TAÍNA (Ms. Reina CÁMO Cemi’no) Content note: This episode includes discussion of gender dysphoria, body image, sexuality, transphobia, racism, mental health, and navigating medical systems.

Why Tune In: Monthly episodes rooted in truth-telling, tenderness, and liberation—where identity gets treated like something sacred, not something to “prove.” What This Episode Is: A personal, grounded reflection on 1 year of estrogen + 26 years of gender/sexuality becoming, with practical context for what the first year can feel like. HRT Year-One Snapshot (general timeline, varies by person): – Some changes often begin within 1–3 months (libido shifts / spontaneous erections may decrease for some). – Some changes often begin within 3–6 months (skin softness, fat redistribution starting, breast growth beginning for many). – Many effects continue evolving beyond year one; “maximum” changes commonly take 2–5 years. This is general education, not medical advice—always check in with a qualified clinician for your body + needs.

Como también es mi mes de cumpleaños, hago un zoom aún más amplio: 26 años de género + sexualidad—de buscar, enmascararme, sobrevivir, experimentar, desaprender la vergüenza y, por fin, aprender a volver a casa dentro de mí. Hablo de la realidad de esta “segunda pubertad” de una forma aterrizada: las olas emocionales, la suavidad, la paciencia que exige, el duelo que puede surgir y la alegría silenciosa de verte cambiar en tiempo real. También desgloso una línea de tiempo realista del primer año: para muchas personas transfemeninas, algunos cambios suelen empezar dentro de los primeros meses, mientras que los resultados “completos” pueden tardar años—lo cual es frustrante y profundamente afirmativo a la vez (porque significa que todavía hay espacio para seguir deviniendo). También comparto algunas estadísticas afirmantes, porque quiero que quienes escuchan—especialmente las mujeres trans negras—sientan el panorama completo. Una encuesta importante encontró que el 98% de las personas que accedieron a la terapia hormonal de afirmación de género dijo que les hizo sentir más satisfacción con sus vidas. Otro informe halló que el acceso a la atención de afirmación de género se asocia con una menor prevalencia de intentos de suicidio (una razón más por la que el cuidado comunitario y el acceso médico importan ...
