I've been on 25mg of 1% gel for about a month. It's astonishing how different it's made me feel. 25mg is not much, and yet it's as if a cloud has lifted from my brain in recent days. A cloud that's been here since my brain was flooded with estrogen during first puberty. Can't wait to see how it'll feel with a higher dosage.

It really seems that there's some truth to the "some brains are wired for estrogen and some for testosterone" theory. What other explanation could there be for this.

Anybody else experienced the same thing?

Congratulations! That’s awesome it’s being so beneficial to you.

To be upfront, I’m a straight cis-man, but you reminded me of a clip of a college professor talking about a difference in the amygdala in men and women that’s consistent whether the person is trans or cis. I’d appreciate the thoughts of someone actually experiencing the lifting of this cloud.

That was fascinating. This lecture exemplifies the kind of thing I miss about college.
