Coke dilates the eyes but not really that much. That looks more like E.

MDMA. It was kind of a big deal!

Also, surely oestrogen still starts with an “O”?

MDMA? I beg your pardon for my ignorance.

Also, you must be a Brit, or perhaps an Aussie, as "Estrogen" is the proper spelling in American English.

Ah. So it was the latter. Very well.

Much gratitude to you, for rescuing me from any potential future faux pas relating to my confusion.

I wish you a splendid day.

Yeah. Trans people often call:

  • Estrogen -> E
  • Testosterone -> T
  • Progesterone -> Prog
  • Testosterone-blockers: t-blockers
    • Spironolactone -> Spiro

etc.

It's probably a combination of convenient shorthand, and avoiding the dysphoria of thinking about which hormones you have in your body.

Well, if you like estrogen, may I recommend ecstasy? It's a good time!

1

Yes, and testosterone is referred to at T quite frequently in trans spaces
