Can hrt change your personality? What psychological effects does it have? How severe are they? I know it affects your mood
I want to start hrt but I'm afraid of my personality or anything like that changing
t. wink
Can hrt change your personality? What psychological effects does it have? How severe are they...
Why do you want to start HRT if you don't want to be a woman?
Your personality is always going to change with major changes to your life. Im skeptical that all the people who claim HRT changed who they were inside weren't just insanely repressed beforehand and transitioning just let them come out of their shell. Speaking for myself im basically the same person. Just happier
I only want to look like a woman not be one
Thank you for your input your theory makes a lot of sense but I'm still kinda afraid of this anyway
It does calm me down however that you believe you didn't change but just became happier
Doesn't being years on HRT literally change your brain structure from male to a more androgynous one?
no I still have the same autistic male interests like video games and anime. My best friend hasn't noticed me changing at all when it comes to personality. I have feminine interests too like fashion but I had those before hrt. If you hang out with a bunch of pro lgbt people like in support groups and shit maybe but changing who you hang out with always affects your personality. Now I go back to elden ring.
I want to fuck Eve
Thank you anonette this is very reassuring, have fun with elden ring!
I wish I had the money to buy it :(
I want to be spitroasted by him and his brother
Oh really? Ok
Oh I didn't think of that before thank you.
I could not imagine that thanks.
Phew good to hear.
Don't mock me cunt
Do I do what you tell me? Or are you too weak to dominate a subby transwoman like me?
The latter, I am very submissive myself wtf do you expect me to do
>male interests

i never worried about this with hrt, im an infinitely superior person to who i was just a couple years ago in every way, and hrt has helped me reach this happiest time in my life
Okay you're happier but you're a tranny, I'm just a normal twink who wants to start hrt I'm not sure if it'll also make me happier or "superior"
Yes, both because the endocrine system is incredibly powerful and can have effects on your other hormonal glands and brain, and because choosing to do something like HRT and feeling it work for you (or not work, in some ways) and change your body can have a massive effect on the way you see yourself, your locus of control, the likelihood of you feeling better, the benefit of connecting with other people, etc.
I can only speak about it from a testosterone perspective though. for me, it was as though a very dense fog of depression and frustration cleared, and I was just...chill. just chill and normal and ok in a way I had not been since puberty.
You're welcome. I understand the anxiety, I had some as well, but honestly the only change I've been told is that I seem a little brighter (which I credit to just greater life satisfaction)
Honscience I'm pretty sure. Trans people are so insistent on whatever will make people accept them and for a lot of people that was just gesturing vaguely toward "brain chemistry" and early neuroscience. Cis ppl who don't hate trannies bandwagoned on. All the "trans brains are like their desired gender" just strikes me as assimilationist tactics rather than anything which is true or matters
>Can hrt change your personality?
Certainly your mood. Does your mood affect how you act that much or do you have a system of ethics and values that runs deeper? Do you think about things before you act or speak or are you ruled by whims? If you know the answers to these questions, you know whether HRT could change what you call your personality.
I've been on hrt for a year and 5 months, and my personality is the same
