I transitioned at 19, started with some oral estrogen in small doses then I just went full transition afterwards.
Lived as a girl till 25 then I just stopped because for many reasons it wasn't what I wanted.

There's a mental change when on E, subtle, but looking back I can spot several things:

• I got really tired at first, but that lower energy state quickly became my norm.
  
  
• Gradually I became less frustrated and angry, calmer and happier.
  
  
• Although relatives were against my transition, my new behaviour was more to their liking. So they naturally became more positive around me which I mistakenly took as a sort of gained acceptance. Like being a woman was what I was meant to be, since everyone is nicer to me now.
  

It's not a rewiring, just slight changes to mood and then the rest is mental.
So yeah, I can see it as a slippery slope but in the end, once they reach close to the end point (GRS eek), if it's not for you, you'll turn back...

You can always return, although your fat distribution and breasts may never be the same again
