TW, unflattering description of masculine body, worries about HRT not working

So I started HRT in early August. I have an appointment in late November to get my levels checked and make changes as needed.

I know, intellectually, that this takes time to effect any significant change. I know I should be patient. At the same time, I was hoping to feel and look different after a couple months. As far as I can tell, nothing has changed. My arm hair isn't softer, my tits are flat, I don't feel any different. I feel like I may as well have just stayed a cis dude and called it good enough.

I'm seriously worried that I'm somehow immune to the effects of HRT. Like I'm gonna take these stupid pills for years and the only things that will change will be my hair growing longer, my gut growing fatter in a distinctly "middle aged guy" manner, and my tolerance for this bullshit we call life getting shorter by the minute. I see so many of your really, truly lovely progress pictures on here and I'm just left wondering "but why can't I be pretty, too?"

Someone please tell me I'm not right, that there's hope for me.
