What exactly starts happening when a man takes estrogen? Just asking out of curiosity.

So if I’ve understood things correctly, trans women take estrogen to get some more feminine appereance. But what exactly happens and when? Like lets say, if I theoretically started taking them, how long would it take for me to develop bigger breasts? Or do they help with breast growth? I’m a bit confused…

Hormone replacement therapy is a dubious affair, with a lot of unsubstantiated claims. Just fyi there’s 20x more testosterone then estrogen in women, in fact estrogen is made from testosterone. Claims that estrogen is a “female” hormone are greatly overstated.
