\textbf{No.} While this guide is not interested in playing whackamole by responding directly to every instance of misinformation on social media, the prevalence of this chart both online and in doctor-provided resources across languages paired with the sheer volume of harm it has caused denotes need for special exception beyond off-hand reference in Question \ref{11-6}.
\textbf{This chart is categorically false.} Nearly aspect of it is misleading in some capacity, with the one exception being that it is wholly true that estrogen does not cause vocal changes. The time ranges listed for “expected onset” are misleading, and the idea of a time limit for “maximum effect” is so misleading that it borders on criminal. A plethora of changes are not listed (such as mental effects) or are wrong (the chart contradicts itself about erectile dysfunction). No consideration is given towards regimen quality either.
\textbf{The key aspects of the chart requiring nuance are discussed across this guide, so the only general takeaway should be that change happens at different rates.} This chart causes poor expectations, provides an inaccurate picture of what HRT does, and sets trans people up for failure by limiting their understanding of hormones. Please disregard it in its entirety. Now, let us continue after this detour.
\section{WHY INJECTIONS}
\subsection{What makes injections so good?}
Consistency. Consistency is the name of the game when it comes to HRT. Consistent hormones means stability, and stability is good. Even the “worst” injection type (keep reading) can provide a more consistent hormonal cycle than other routes of administration which provides many benefits.
