I'm genetically blessed (?) or cursed with very muscular legs. I don't do squats with weights. Heck, since I made the conscious decision to coax my body towards my mind's feminine idea of it, I rarely use any weights at all. I still run around when coaching, and I work out on a rowing machine, but theoretically, that should just help keep me trim and not really build muscles a lot, especially given the T-blockers and the E. So I'm kind of annoyed that my legs look so much like guy legs. I mean, I look hard at women athletes' legs, particularly those whose sports involve lots of leg work, and while lots of them have much stronger looking or more muscular legs than me, I think only a very few have the typical knee area (especially just above the knee/ lower thigh) that guys have. You know what I mean? Maybe it's because of the different hip to knee angle of women vs men, but guys quads are different than girls quads. I suppose I could attempt to smooth out the difference by gaining a bit more body fat. Unfortunately, I tend to gain weight almost anywhere except my legs (even on estrogen). I guess I just need to accept it and hope that the casual observer will just assume my funny knees/thighs are just weird, and not necessarily male. Or of course, I could and probably should just dress according to my body like any normal cis-gendered girl would, and favor longer skirts/dresses or pants/jeans.
