4350702 Believe me, I know. Here's the thing, though. In addition to never directly mentioning what sort of 'training' the two put on him, Button himself commented on the issue.
I don’t know if these hormones are magically enhanced or what,
That's one of the wonders of working with a combination of science and magic: being 100% scientifically accurate isn't a must.
That being said, here's another thing to keep in mind. During the hormone replacement therapy, in addition to estrogen, progesterone, and all those goodies, it is not uncommon for the transwoman to be prescribed androgen blockers, which in turn inhibit effectiveness of testosterone [note that this is not the most medically accurate description, as I am not an endocrinologist]. The dietary changes of course are important, and there are even certain herbal remedies/supplements that you can take to 'help'.
Equestradiol was used as a placeholder/catch-all so that rather than drown the story with information, the average* reader would get a vague idea that this isn't necessarily how it works in real life [see above quote], and that certain liberties are being taken to account for the presence of magic.
That being said, dietary changes will be touched upon in future chapters.
*The word average is used subjectively, as the sort of user who would find and read this story is perhaps extraordinary.
What the fuck is this. Button Mash is gone, ok? Stop living in the past and just bury the guy. He's a shitty OC that should have been removed by Hasbro long ago.
What's with all this "kinky" furry porn? It's almost as if you've stopped wanking to ponies, and are now interested in human/animal hybrids. It's getting really weird.
Also, why is the plot for this story so messed up?
You know, I reflected a bit after reading this and enjoying it, and I've come up with the following:
I am a really fucked up person.
Also, I'm going to Hell, but that's another story.
ANYWAY! I want more, and I swear to all that is holy (And sexy) that if this dies you WILL be held responsible, and you will be punished. (No, not the 'fun' kind of punished.)
In all, this seemed like a bad idea going into it, but from chapter two's conclusion it looks like you're at least willing to deal with the fact that there's some really sketchy crap happening to our protagonist and that he seems to have Stockholm Syndrome. So I'll be looking forward to chapter three.
I came here expecting to see at least one flame war in the comments for a decent laugh, and then leaving. Instead I see a few indications that you've written the story, fully aware that "Something is rotten in the state of Denmark" with this premise forming as a reality to your characters.
I guess I'll give it a minute chance to prove it's something more.
Maybe this isn't just another example of "The Feature Box, where people come... ... and sometimes show stories too."
woop
k
I was featured in someones description. I am happy
I love you, dude.
Okay, that might he going a bit far, but my point remains: you freaking ROCK.
This is great story!
Sweetie Bell is taking charge. Oh buck, what is buttons mom going to say when she sees him again? I can't wait to find out.
you kidding me? where the heck has this/the previous fic been all my time?.....
Better than I expected. Look forward to how this goes between Buttons and Sweetie.
it's like . . I wanna read it but eeaaanthro . . mmmm no.

I could read it, but it has anthropomorphized horses and I am a huge, huge faggot.
Is Sweetie Belle gonna have to cut a bitch?
Looking forward to the third chapter. Keep up the good work!
Huh. I was surprised to actually find this an engaging story. Also, the bit this chapter, with Sweetie storming off? I needed that.
this... i love it.
if i didnt already have a boyfriend (and lived in your general area) i would so totally hit on you
GAy-SHit! Put it on fire!
Um, the balance between story and "fun" is still held. I think I'll stay a bit. (attempts to avoid innuendos)
I'd like a peace gained without turmoil
so I may not despair
I'd like a kindness granted by those around me
so that "myself" will become me.
Because Tenko left
DT and SS need to get their comuppance. And Button needs comfort and healing, be it's through fully becoming a woman or returning to a male.
Hv- NNg GAH! WHAT CAN I EVEN SAY?!
1-media-cdn.foolz.us/ffuuka/board/vp/image/1374/11/1374114372146.gif Okay, okay.
I have to snark about something here.
"Questionable Romanticism" Understatement of the fucking millennium.
...Now I need to go take a good, long look at my life. And my moral integrity.
Aw snap. This is gonna be good.
Wait a minute, featured on my birthday?
Best birthday present ever.
Yep, now i'm invested.
does button have an addictive personality i wonder?
Okay, now I'm following this.
Go, Sweetie!
Mmm Magic.
this story has some serious potential. following.
What the fuck is this. Button Mash is gone, ok? Stop living in the past and just bury the guy. He's a shitty OC that should have been removed by Hasbro long ago.
What's with all this "kinky" furry porn? It's almost as if you've stopped wanking to ponies, and are now interested in human/animal hybrids. It's getting really weird.
Also, why is the plot for this story so messed up?
Forced feminisation?
Futa?
Anthro?
Just kill me now.
4354364 Because a woman with a cock totally doesn't qualify, bro. Sweetie Belle. I swear ya never even read the chapter
4354381 The Prequel qualified under the 'Drag Race' category in Futaquestria, if that's what you were referring to.
4351953 If you haven't got anything good or constructive to say, keep it to yourself...
4354409 Yeah, for the most part, crossdressing doesn't have the same feel when it comes to ponies, so it's a bit underrepresented.
Why must I enjoy stories with ponies with deep dark secrets and how they struggle with them? Or in this case, enjoy them?
You know, I reflected a bit after reading this and enjoying it, and I've come up with the following:
I am a really fucked up person.
Also, I'm going to Hell, but that's another story.
ANYWAY! I want more, and I swear to all that is holy (And sexy) that if this dies you WILL be held responsible, and you will be punished. (No, not the 'fun' kind of punished.)
Alternative title: Fetish the Fanfiction.
This is great I love psychologic fics they are always so interesting, the clop is a nice plus too by the way.
Anyway great start! Follow!
wow such plot twist.....ok fuck i couldn't do it with a straight face , however accurately it may apply here.....
Well....
SweetiexMash...
I have to Approve..
Strain thing, I had similar to these, until I went to therapy
This is funny. I can bearly stand up from laughing good fic
whew, plot progression.
That last part runs deep, great job for stating the stage for something big to happen at the end. Cannot wait for the next chapter
A new world Order...

You are a voice of truth and reason in an age of depravity and furfuckery. You are the messiah.
As a gay guy who also somehow has a thing for lesbians, this totally works for me.
Somehow.
In all, this seemed like a bad idea going into it, but from chapter two's conclusion it looks like you're at least willing to deal with the fact that there's some really sketchy crap happening to our protagonist and that he seems to have Stockholm Syndrome. So I'll be looking forward to chapter three.

Maybe.
I'm against only one of those triggers.
Now, would that be classified as a bad thing?
4357570 That depends entirely on which one.
