What are the health risks of starting HRT?

Depends if you self med or not.
If you go through a doctor it's his job to make sure the stuff you're taking is safe, or at least low risk for you.
DVT/stroke is the major risk.
Osteoporosis is a meme.
You will have much lower risk of prostate and breast cancer compared to both natal males and natal females respectively (unless you are XXY, in which case your breast cancer risk is 55 fold higher then a natal male and somewhere closer to natal women. This is regardless of your choice to take HRT).
Migraines are more likely if you already experience them.

Even if you self-med you can still get blood tests and do it perfectly safely.
>>8757985
You can, but it's up to you to know what to do. Ultimately you're still not a doctor.
But yes, self med is fine if you do it correctly.
You'll make melodramatic threads about your skin falling off and HRT ruining your life.

So... If i keep a "healthy" routine or at least eat right, i'll decrease the changes of having a dvt/stroke?
Are these caused by E, right? What if i'm on a lower E dose? (2mg/day, femboy)

Yes, being healthy reduces your risk for stroke. This is regardless if you're on HRT.
Most of the risk is from estrogen. Antiandrogens are hard on the kidneys or liver long term so you should consider an orchiectomy in the future.
>femboy
I wouldn't. But it's your call.

The main risk being that it doesn't cure dysphoria at all in almost all cases.
Other risks include: Higher chance of suicide, blood clots, liver damage, underlying mental illnesses not being treated and much more that I don't care to list here.
Transition has no long-term proven benefits.
The traditional narrative pushed by /mtfg/ and bitterhons is wrong. Check out /repgen/, and seek the cure rather than falling for bitterhon lies.

Failing to treat your underlying mental illness.
Seek help from a real doctor, not a """gender therapist""", and get on pimozide to treat your delusions
