As young straight man who somehow has found your videos. I say good for you. Now I had moments in my life I questioned am I gay. I’m sure if really commit to being trans maybe I would like it. Like when I tried weed all my life I was told it was bad but then I tried it and it wasn’t as bad as it was made out to be. Sorry getting side tracked… AnyWho there’s 17 billion people on this earth and sometimes people don’t get along with other people. But to conclude this long and wordy comment I don’t think trans is for me I got too much going on in my life to even think about my own lifestyle change. I have ADHD so I apologize if I type something wrong or forgot a period.

There is another reason women are more susceptible to the cold; less body hair! This was something I noticed the very first time I shaved my legs in the winter.

What's even funnier about that is that the reason why I found out I'm trans in the first place was because I found out I was bi, joined my college's queer club, met other trans people for the first time, and realized I was feeling a lot of the things they were! My bisexuality opened the door to finding out I'm trans, and then me being trans eventually caused me to not be bi anymore lol

Can confirm that my sense of identity changed radically after I came out as trans. To me, it's best described as akin to wearing corrective lenses for the first time, in that it helps you see the world/yourself better. My pre-transition self up until about my mid-to-late 20s is a blurry blob, and I cannot really recognize myself in photos from my childhood or picture what I looked like then. HRT has only made that more the case, or at least has made me more aware of it. It's kinda scary, and in some ways, it can initially feel like losing a sense of self. But upon examination, it is more that I never saw myself clearly through my entire childhood and teenage years, and even into my adulthood. But once I put on the glasses of self-identity, I began to see myself much more clearly...and what I see is not what I was, but what I know I can be.

Hi there, Transfem here with 1 1/4 years of HRT under my belt. ^^ I just thought that I would put my experiences in here to show another example. 1. Pain Tolerance: Funnily enough, my perception of pain has gone down and increased at the same time. Lemme explain: Basically the experience of pain itself is definetly more intense than it used to be, but my reaction to the pain is weaker to it. It doesn't drag me down as much anymore. I don't react as strongly to it anymore. I can eat spicier food because of this where my mouth was burning a ton when I only had a piece of ground pepper in a dish before. 2. Body Odor: Yeah it changed, I don't stink like hell after one day of not showering anymore. I did not change my showering frequency since I didn't care back then so it always was every 3rd day, so that can't be it. 3. Taste preference: I apprechiate deserts more and am generally more kind of clear on what I taste. Everything just kinda got stronger and more discernable which is why I can really reconstruct entire dishes sometimes. It's awesome! ^^ On preference in general it didn't really change for me, but I am on Cypro instead of Spiro. I only apprechiate food more... OH one thing: Roasted flavors, like coffee has. Those dishes that work a lot with Malliard-reactions are SO GOOD! But idk if I just discovered it or if it was a change so... 4. Temperature Regulation: I always was cold so incredibly easily, tho it might have been because I underate which I am trying to counteract with more deserts now (cuz I get full too quickly). I definetly got more suceptible to temperature to both sides now. I get hot more easily, I get cold more easily. It's really annoying having to get that sweater off then on then off then on... In a 10 min frequency sometimes! 5. Sexual Preference: I used to be into women for the sole reason of curiousity if we would rule out the outrageous Libido that I had that was like a entirely different entity. Now I am just into people who tend to be androgynous in their presentation and in how they act. But idk if sexually or romantically. It definetly got more beyond women and bodyparts and more into style and character. Still liking women as they are also included. Their body just matters less. 6. Brain: Honestly I used to have incredible anger issues which went away completely. I used to be so unbalanced and aggressive cuz my body was just so flooded with anger constantly. And now I actually have something like emotions that go beyond that. My anger issues even completely vanished, leaving me to cry instead of slamming my desk which is a well-welcomed change. Outside of that... Appearantly I get called cute like sometimes double-digits per day by friends online so... Maybe I got more cutesy? I definetly grew way more anxious and self-critical and got way warmer in the way I am. Way more... Alive. It is crazy how I used to be a vessel and now I am whole. So uhhh... Have fun with what I said?... And have a great day whoever reads this hell of a comment! ^^

@@Scariepai oof, that is a hard pill to swallow for sure that basically you'd have to step away to prove you are trans. So I want to direct that question if you are trans or not to a different question or questions: Who do you want to be? What do you want? How do you want your life to look like? And since we are talking about transitioning: What are you unhappy about that you want to change? For me, I am not so keen on lables. It only is there for me so I may be able to get into a group or explain some part of my identity with one word. And since being trans is so incredibly divers, there is no wrong or right way to be trans. You just are or you're not. And to give just one last tip: The fact that you went so crazy on not seeing trans content and potentially really being the other gender is already a good indice that you are. But like I said: It is not only on who you are but what you want and what you wanna do about it. That is all the advice I can give, but I have to say: This really sucks that your parents basically banned you from content "just to prove you're trans". I hope there is no more bad stuff being thrown at you but be on your guard...

The changes are really fascinating. I am a trans guy and some changes I've observed include: the temperature thing. I used to get cold so easily. I grew up in Arizona and still often carried around a jacket for indoor spaces. Nowadays, I'm like radiator. I'm basically hot or at least very warm most of the time except during the winter, (I live in Canada,) and even then the second I get indoors and sometimes even outside during the less extreme parts of the winter I am absolutely overheating in my winter gear even though I know I would be freezing without it outdoors at least. During the summer I rarely wear clothes aside from boxers at home at all because I'm so hot and when I go out, where before I would've gone for slightly warmer looks if they looked good and been perfectly fine, I now usually try and wear the bare minimum amount of clothes that are socially acceptable and absolutely not a lick more lol! Another change that's kind of wild is that I basically can't cry anymore. Sometimes I get “misty-eyed,” or feel like I'm going to cry, but even when I feel like I need to I can very rarely actually shed a tear unless I really blink a lot when I'm already misty eyed or if my eyes get like physically irritated from something in them. However, I find myself getting misty eyed much more often than I ever did before or cried before, and often it's not because I'm sad or upset. I never really thought tears of joy were a thing before, but that's something I experience now. Tears of happiness, or sometimes bitter sweet tears because something is beautiful in a sad way like something sad but beautiful happening in a show usually. I used to cry-like fully cry-a lot and it was always because I was angry, sad, or overwhelmed. I still have a full range of emotions, but I am less prone to sadness and when I feel it, it takes a lot more to make me feel that way and it's rarely as overwhelming unless something really bad has happened. Meanwhile, I like almost never got angry before, and was a little bit afraid of my own anger, and would often lash out inwardly at myself or need a lot of validation that I was right to be upset. If someone hurt me I was generally more likely to either be angry at myself or sad. Now, I definitely wouldn't say that I have an anger problem or anything, though the fact that I am relatively unpractised with the emotion does mean that sometimes I catch myself by surprise especially when I'm overwhelmed and snap when I don't mean to and then have to take a step back which is something I'm working on but I do get angry a lot more often now than I used to. That one has been an adjustment, and at first it was something I found a little bit upsetting because I had such fear of getting angry making me a bad person, but for the most part, I feel like it's some thing that's honestly served me well. I don't just roll over and accept it anymore when things are unfair or when somebody does something to hurt me, and I don't blame myself. I do have to work a little bit harder at keeping my responses measured and reasonable than I used to, but no longer moving through the world like I deserve every bad thing that happens and like I deserve to be treated well and for the systems around me to do what they're supposed to do has done a lot for my confidence, although I guess it's possible that my confidence is just higher from transitioning which has partially led to the change in attitude. Either way, it's an improvement for me. Another one that surprised me is that I feel more drawn to media with action and violence than I used to be and have a lot more appreciation for things like a well-choreographed fight scene. Which isn't to say that I have any desire to be violent myself, at least not in a way that would hurt people, (I do feel maybe slightly more interested in sports like archery or fencing or maybe even wrestling, though,) but I very rarely thought that fight scenes had any cool factor to them before, and usually was just waiting for them to end so it can get back to the plot. I still wouldn't want to watch something where they drag on forever, but I definitely have more of an understanding of why people like them. I also definitely experienced some fluctuation in sexuality, although that's always been a little fluid for me. I've always been some flavour of bi/pan, but used to primarily prefer women, but now I think I might actually be more into guys, though that’s still something I'm exploring and figuring out because I haven't really dated much these last few years. Sorry for such a long comments, but this is stuff I find so interesting, and these are just a few of the changes I noticed!

It might be placebo, but while taking testosterone: • I think my emotional reaction to chocolate changed. It was addictive. When I take my testosterone properly, I don't crave it as much. When I forget, I tend to want more chocolate and sweets. • I've noticed that my tear ducts are no longer on a hair-trigger anymore. I used to cry all the time for no reason, or when I was feeling any kind of emotion whatsoever. A side effect of the child abuse I experienced is that crying was not safe; so I was constantly dissociating in order to keep from crying. Now I can feel my emotions more without fear of crying (and thus accidentally dissociating). • My comfortable temperature range moved from around 65-68°F to around 60-65°F. And I start to get uncomfortable at 70+F now. • My sexuality shifted from being almost exclusively interested in women, to having some interest in men as well. • I was angry all the time before I started T. Like... ALL THE TIME. And now I'm still angry a good chunk of the time (have you _seen_ the news?) but it's not nearly as uncontrollable and ever present.

So it happened to me that I did experience a moderate shift in my preference of meats, where I used to like red meats a lot more when I was on testosterone, and I started gaining more of a taste for chicken and fish when I transitioned and started estrogen. It wasn't a huge shift but people definitely noticed when I started doing things like ordering chicken more often at restaurants instead of always going for something with beef

if you live in an area with decent trans healthcare id reccomend taking advisement at an informed consent clinic! i personally went to planned parenthood and they go over all the different effects you can experience. there are certainly ups and downs to taking hrt. if you take it and you decide you dont like it, thats totally okay too! it could help you develop and realize your own gender identity some more, or just make you decide you dont want hrt at all! being trans without taking hrt is a valid way to live! in the early stages of hrt most effects are completely reversable, so if you decide its not for you thats a okay.

They aren't exactly negative, just normal enough for those who already have those hormones and body changes.

Not everyone NEEDS HRT to transition but you should think about both pros and cons.

Now I don’t care about others questioning my life, I feel happy about me, I like being me, but obviously sometimes I don’t feel happy about me and being me, I have a long way to cross but is okay, if I don’t “sleep” again and have that bad “dream” I would be happy.

I think there is tremendous variation in gender that goes essentially undetected because it doesn't lead to gender dysphoria. Whether it's due to a difference in intensity or kind, you can bet there are people with "trans brains" who never even consider actually transitioning and that transexuality is just the threshold where something has to be done externally to correct the discontinuity between the internal psyche and the physical body. Does that make sense? * Using a whiteboard to explain why he's still cis tho meme *

I like the 'science' part of the studies, but my heart goes out to those of you that deal with the turmoil and the dysphoria. The only frame of reference that I can give is within my own frame of being 'masculin', is that I still feel like I fall short of being 'ideally' masculine. Also, because I can be a softboy or whatever that term is 😅. Anyway, I enjoyed the video!

But now I can pick up super slight changes and manage to see the color temp of lights and slight color variation in them when most people just see white (Like I can notice if there is a tiny bit of magenta or green present). Colors are a bit more vibrant which is neat since I am into photography. But I still don't know the names of the colors lol. Also in term of the previous me, it feels like someone completely different. I can hardly even recall how I actually felt besides depressed. At least the hatred of that person has gone down and I no longer wish I could go back to bury him.

If I recall correctly, women being more susceptible to the cold is the result of the body making changes when its cold to conserve heat in the core. This means that, though your tolerance for the cold is lowered, in a life or death situation, you could survive the cold longer than a man (Do not try this at home, remember to wear a coat, stay warm, and keep safe ladies)

This also ties in with the pain sensitivity stuff. Women traditionally stay in larger groups and stay closer to home than men. A woman who is hurt somehow can get help more easily than a man can in that sort of lifestyle - but the people around her will only respond to her need if she is genuinely experiencing pain.

Oh, I'm a Guinee Pig: MtF, almost 15 years since the start! Pain: yeah, I can tell you I am much more aware of the pain from even small things. I am also more ready to shake it off when the pain is mentally validated and thrown out like dead-name boxers. Smell: my partner states the scent of me didn't change, but what I started to wear scent wise did. What she doesn't know is that I really could tell how different everything began to smell. The jokes of pregnant woman noses is real. Taste: Yes, and while I never was one to crave pickles because of the brine to it, salt became heavenly. French fries began to replace burgers in full. Unlike the data, I also began to crave spicier foods and different flavors. (Looking at you, chocolate) Temps: So cold, so very often. The heat ended up coming much closer to my chest and abdomen. Which is wonderful in the summer with shorts but I began to live in sweats for the winter. Sexuality: There's so much to unpack about what you go through and experience and desire that I do not think I am the one to speak on it! I do know that as a bisexual I started to lean much more to women than men. BRAIN: I adored the computer analogy, and it is spot on. Reprograming your OS leads to wild changes. The change in so many detail and looking back I began to tear apart the choices and 'why' I acted how I had in the past. Bonus: faux-periods! I'm not even sure 'Faux' is the right word, but having been exclusively with the same live in female partner I have developed a cycle that is only a few days timing off than her own. It was also her to point out how it happens consistently and regularly. I am not a scientist to understand how all this works but I do know that DR @jammidodger might know more!

Ive been a chocolate fanatic for years, even before I began Hrt. I haven’t noticed much difference in how enjoyable it is and it is very enjoyable, but I’m jealous at how you make it sound so immensely pleasurable. Whats your favorite location? (or brand I guess?) Mine is Marou, its a Vietnamese chocolate and the different bars have wildly different flavor; some are fruity and tart, one’s like dried cherry, another tastes like tahini, one is warm and rich with woody and jin jun mei black tea like notes, all of them are incredible. P.s. there’s a limit to the darkness of chocolate being more enjoyable. I find 80%-85% the best, but its a bit rare to find a really good one at that percentage. 75% (the usual) is excellent, but rarely anything above 90% is sweet enough to allow the complex / delicate flavor notes to escape from behind the gates of bitterness. 100% is still chocolate (technically the most chocolate) but its almost in its entirety, bitter
