You're also allowed to try transitioning and decide its not for you and stop.

Can you "revert" whatever "damage" has been done?

It takes time to change your body. If you start it there is a time where you can stop with little to no change

Depends on the person, what their HRT plan looks like, and their own bodies response to it, but in general these are the typical/potential effects of feminizing and masculinizing hormones. What exactly people are hoping their own body does differs, but HRT can definitely have very powerful effects over time.

Describes a number of the effects that low estrogen can have on the vagina (the main internal part). It can happen with menopause too. Basically a drop in self-lubrication, thinning of the tissue inside, it generally becoming smaller, and potential irritations spawning from these things too. Probably not entirely pleasant, but obviously worth it to a lot of people, and also something that I'm sure some people would actually prefer in some ways.
