I'm a cis male and I cry all the time, skill issue tbh
imagine being able to stop weeping and actually function
im cis male and have to take T and it has also made me more emotional
im a lil story slut i cry especially for self-sacrifice among comrades and sappy love-lost shit and i seek this out like an emotional pervert
anyways it feels good to cry sometimes just really let yourself break down because the demon girl in the novel you are reading can't be with the angel boy or whatever i mean wtf they were meant for each other, you know
under the alienation of industrial capitalism, we are all emotional perverts
I suppose taking estrogen just for this effect would be a bad idea...?
It probably won't work if you're not trans/you don't have this kind of dysphoria. A lot of transmascs report the same effect from getting on T, so it's probably less about estradiol bring the cry-y hormone and more that beginning to correct physical dysphoria connects you to your emotions again
im cis with extremely low t normally that i have to take injections for
so like, if your hormones are really really low it'll suppress your emotions so maybe get that checked next time you get blood-work
I really hope I get pogged out and feel the difference when I finally try estrogen. On top of feeling nice it would be so validating
I usually end up weeping when i take psilocybin and it's one of the best parts of the trip
Wait, do you really find increasing E makes you cry more? I always figured crying was more of a socialisation/cultural attitude towards men thing.
100%, it changed within weeks of me starting HRT. But like some other people have mentioned it might just be not being depressed anymore that causes the emotional changes
thats interesting because my experiences with depression have reflected that like its more of a constant numbness where you cant feel sad or happy or anything
Idk nine years later I find I'm now really tired of just crying, all the time, at everything. Sometimes it is useful as a pressure release, sometimes I am just freaking out and making a mess of my whole self. How to be functional instead of crying under any emotional strain at all?
