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'm not sure I really noticed any mental/emotional effects from hrt, aside from the general relief of not looking like a dude anymore. Like I'm a much calmer, happier person than I was before I started hrt, more social and physically fit, and way more into men than I was before, but I feel like that was mostly the physical transition and the effects that has had on my environment and self-perception. It also killed my sex drive until I switched to injections, but then oh boy!
I also started ages ago (12+ years) so maybe I just don't remember how things were before.
