    Ngl as much as some of the stereotypes are true (I can actually cry now that I’m on E), others really aren’t (I get angrier more easily now, when I basically never did before). I’ve also heard of trans guys having an easier time crying on T. Disentangling what is actually caused by hormones and what is caused by cultural perceptions of gender is difficult (especially since T and E are part of cultural ideas too).

      From my internal thoughts and talking to other trans people I think a large part is not disassociating and being more connected to your body.

        Definitely my case, literally all of my emotions are part of me now instead of being at a distance (I was just aware of them, but didn’t really feel 'em)

        Interesting! I don’t think I ever had that, even if there were plenty of times where I wanted to cry
