I've been on HRT for a year now, nd so far no changes in muscle mass.
It is horrible since I already have a girly face but muscle is staying there so I can't dress a shit
How long 'til I lose all that muscle? I just look like a man with tits and a cutey girly face. it is killing me!!

cant say definitely
you need shitton of catabolism - breaking down tissue for energy, so lots of long, low-load cardio
passive atrophy on low T doesnt work that well
Here is a summary from a fitness article on losing muscle http://fitnessblackandwhite.com/how-to-lose-muscle/
Do lots of marathon style cardio
Avoid “pump” causing cardio machines
Don’t eat before you workout
Don’t use the muscle you want to lose
Don’t eat enough calories
Don’t eat enough protein

>passive atrophy on low T doesnt work that well
I've tried this for like the 9 months I've been on HRT, almost no results.

Estrogen still helps retain muscle mass similar to testosterone

Just stop exercising as much and wait it out.
