im genq if theres any like mood differences or personality changes taking E can cause, in yalls opinion. I just wanna treat her right and prepare myself for any troubles.
weird namefag, but a lot of people do report that they experience that, yeah. I think they are misattributing a lot of it but eh.
honestly quite a lot. the most important thing i noticed pretty quickly:
i basically didn't speak a lot before HRT. i'm socially anxious AND have extreme voice dysphoria. some people thought i was just unable to talk and it was just very disabling.
even without voice training, after starting E, i could open up way easier. ppl told me i was more talkative, that i smiled way more and so on. people actually wanted to be friends with me.
they thought i just stopped being weird and opened up to them. they didn't know this "development", as they called it, was called "transition"… i don't even think it was me being more comfortable in my body (ofc that can make you more confident in yourself aswell), just mental changes
I take estradiol patches for male pattern baldness. When I get moody or my chest hurts, I take them off for a few days to let my hormone levels reset.
