Okay, so I saw this thing online, “taking feminizing hrt crossword,” and I was like, huh, that’s a thing? I’m always up for a challenge, and I’ve been kinda curious about feminizing HRT, so I figured, why not? Let’s dive in and see what this is all about.
Getting Started
First things first, I needed to find this crossword. I did a quick search, and, you know, the internet being the internet, it took a little digging, but I finally found a few. Some were just silly memes, but others looked like they actually put some effort in.
I printed one out, grabbed a pen, and got comfy on the couch. It wasn’t some super professional-looking thing, more like something someone made for fun, which, honestly, made it feel more approachable.
Working Through It
I started with the easy clues, you know, the ones that were, like, super obvious. The “fill-in-the-blank” type stuff. It felt good getting a few answers down right away. Builds confidence, you know?
- Across:
- “Common starting dose (___ mg).” Filled that one in quick!
- “Type of blocker (___-androgen).” Okay, I knew a little bit about this already.
- Down:
- “Desired effect (breast ___).” Easy peasy.
- “Possible side effect (mood ___).” Hmm, that one made me think a bit.
Then came the trickier ones. Some of the clues were about the science-y stuff, the hormones and how they work. I had to do some real thinking, and, yeah, I’ll admit, I had to look a few things up online. No shame in that game, right? Learning is the whole point!
I got stuck on one clue for, like, a solid 20 minutes. It was about a specific type of medication, and I just couldn’t get it. I tried every combination of letters I could think of. Finally, I caved and did a little more research. And boom, there it was! Felt like a major victory.
The Finished Product
After a good hour or so, I finally finished it! It was actually pretty satisfying to see all those little boxes filled in. I even surprised myself with how much I actually knew (or learned along the way). It wasn’t perfect, I might have fudged a couple of letters here and there, but who cares? I did it!
Honestly, it was a fun little exercise. It got me thinking about things I wouldn’t normally think about, and I learned a few new things. Plus, it was a nice break from my usual routine. Would I do it again? Maybe! It’s a quirky way to spend an afternoon, that’s for sure.
