Awesome, thanks for doing this!

Would you feel comfortable sharing your story? Your experience? I imagine realizing you’re trans, coming out and taking action (if you’re at that point of the process) is not easy, and is not a decision taken lightly. Would love to hear how you personally went about it.

I don’t know if you have went through HRT, but I was always curious on how it affects people on a mental level - how your way of thinking and processing emotions changes (if at all). The physical effects of hormone therapy are pretty clear. But I’ve also heard of stuff like body builders taking testosterone getting a shorter temper. I would think affecting brain chemistry with hormones would lead to some changes in that area too?
