started HRT in January of 2022, is it safe to say all major changes are done, and I’ll always kinda look ugly and there is nothing HRT can do.

Also sorry I made a similar post where I had the years wrong I think.

Absolutely not. I’m in my 3rd year and my face didn’t atart constantly looking femme to me till about 2.5 years in. There’s many more changes that come later! Cis-femme puberty starts roughly around 12 and goes until 25-ish!

No, that’s not entirely true. Most cis women are fully developed at around 18.

The terms “fully developed” and “most” are doing some legwork there. Puberty begins and ends at different times for everyone and statistical averages have been shown to change over time.

Yeah that’s true, and puberty’s been starting earlier and earlier for AFABs in the past decade or two. If it’s starting earlier then it’s easy to assume it’s ending earlier too. The average age for puberty to start is 10, and the average duration of puberty is five to six years. 25 is not a normal number to still be physically maturing at for AFABs. Not saying it’s not possible, but it’s definitely not the norm. 10-16 is a more accurate number for the majority.

To clarify, when I say physically maturing I mean the development of secondary sex characteristics, which is what puberty is typically associated with.

If you are talking about just secondary sexual characteristics then sure but people do still continue to mature physically. Just look at people when they were 18 and are now 25

You could argue that maturation never ends since we are perpetually aging. Usually one thinks of puberty as the development of secondary sex characteristics.
