I've been seriously considering estrogen/anti-T HRT, and reading other people's experiences the mental effects seem the most appealing to me as opposed to the physical side (not that those seem unappealing tho). I'd love to hear people's experiences here of how HRT has affected their emotions/cognition/sensory perception/connection to the cosmos/etc.
I've been on spiro since January and E for about a month and so far the only thing that's changed is that my boobs are sore as fuck like when cis girls go through puberty, lol. Spiro made me pee all the time for a bit and gave me a little bit of orthostatic hypotension (also light headed but that was only the first day), spiro is a dieuretic so I wasn't surprised. Facial hair growth has slowed a lot.
As for emotional stuff, not really anything for me. I still feel basically the same as I always have only with more femme stuff happening. Maybe it kicks in after a few months, I dunno.
Oh yeah, and I've been taking estradiol sublingual and I'm pretty disciplined with it. My E is probably pretty level through the day. Might be different depending on route or if you miss doses or can't stick to a schedule for whatever reason.
