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.
well it was mostly a relief, so that's about as much as I can say with certainty. general better mood and emotional responses from the improved state of mind and self-understanding. It is easier to cry and less to anger, though a lot of that I feel comfortable attributing to being out and honest in my life. Really for me, the biggest type of change in the internal sense that's most clearly due to hormones is sexual sensation. It shifts to what I assume is a similar experience to cis women rather than how it is on t (more immediate and harder to control). It's odd for a while tho, before you and your brain figure out how it all feels and stimulates that way now
