HRT isn’t not a magic cure-all but it does feel magical at times, results come pretty slowly at our age, and get started whenever you want to because you can get at least a couple of months of the emotional and mental effects before any permanent physical effects happen (and a month or three is plenty of time to decide to turn back if you don’t like the emotional and mental effects).
and on a slightly nsfw note
if you want your genitals to atrophy less and keep their function, you’ll need to get and maintain maintenance erections for 10-15 minute at a time, a few times a week – I didn’t do as much maintenance masturbation as I wish I had due to lack of libido, and I regret it sometimes, although I’ve found ways to work around it
oh, and as transfems, especially at our age, there’s absolutely no shame in asking your doctor for erectile dysfunction meds! sildenafil gave me a headache, so now I’m on a low daily dose of tadalafil – and keep in mind that too high a daily dose of the latter can give you weird muscle cramps (found that out the hard way).
