This is not a part of a story, just a couple of scientific facts I thought I might throw in so the people who continue the story make it sort of realistic
In the story Lindsay made Jon produce more estrogen hoping that he's going to feel more feminine because of this. The thing is she was wrong, because that's not what estrogen answers for.
Here's a list of what wikipedia says are the structural functions of estrogen in a female:
- promote formation of female secondary sex characteristics
- accelerate metabolism
- reduce muscle mass
- increase lower-body fat stores
- stimulate endometrial growth
- increase uterine growth
- increase vaginal lubrication
- thicken the vaginal wall
- maintenance of vessel and skin
- reduce bone resorption, increase bone formation.
Translating from science to English: with elevated levels of estrogen Jon might:
- nipple, breast and pelvis size augmented even more
- want to eat much more even though he won't gain any fatter apart maybe from a chance of getting more bottom-heavy
- become even weaker and more vulnerable due to the further reduction in his muscle mass
- have his vagina become stronger, bigger and permanently lubricated
- have softer complexion and more delicate skin
- have his bones grow stronger but heavier (although not bigger)
There are also some strictly negative effects of having one's estrogen on such high levels. Those include:
- increased cancer risk
- breast tenderness
- decreased bladder control
- increased dementia risk
- headaches
- increased stroke risk
- possible nausea
- irregular menstrual cycle
So thanks to Lindsay's idea Jon was now the woman with the highest estrogen levels on the planet and he was to live with all the consequences of it...
