    I’m unfortunately yet not on HRT, but I think it may make some neurological effect, since it’s putting hormones on the body that it isn’t used to have, at the very least.

      even if you’re used to them they’ve gotta have an effect, that’s the whole point of hormones isn’t it? they’re the body’s long-term signalling system.

      I can confirm it does. It is a lot rarer now for me to experience anger and it is a lot easier for me to cry. I also had a change in taste as well. I used to hate blueberries, grapes, and asparagus but now I love them. I’ve also found that my tolerance and cravings for spicy food has increased as well. Those changes all occured within my first few months of taking HRT.

      (PS, I hope you are able to get HRT soon)
