That actually sounds pretty scary, but I guess the point of hormones is to change what genes are expressed. Never thought estrogen would affect eye color though.

idk, i feel like taking something that is strong enough to change the color of your eyes might not be a good thing. but whatevz

You make it sound like gene threapy or regular gene expression. Hormones tell cells around your body what the fuck to do, that's it. I dunno if and how that might affect eye colour, but it's definitely not changing the genetic component to it.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hormone#In_mammals

Specific to transitioning people, no amount of hormone theraphy is going to add or delete/silence genes they don't have. An XX isn't going to turn into an XY and vice versa.

Hormones can affect gene expression, especially in ovo. But who cares?

Because it's just a random thing, you wouldn't associate eye color with gender. It's common for hormones to control expression of genes that you would think have no relation to each other but it also can feel a little bit scary since there may be some unpredictable physical changes that you'll go through.

One thing I'll miss is the smell and the feel of paper and the act of turning pages is somehow soothing, but the advantages of e-books outweigh (ha) the disadvantages.

The best part about physical books is you can take some shitty paperback anywhere and toss it around without a care in the world. Plus depending on the book I like to mark stuff up.

Multnomah County has a great library system. Current books, easy online ordering and renewing, etc. And the books have RF stickers so you can just stack em up on the table, scan your card and it checks them all out to you.
