      it’s not exactly the same as a full understanding but my transmasc friends labido in the first year of T was much worse than my first year of E (so far atleast).

      The labido of a teenage boy is fucking INTENSE, all they do is think with their dick (well not in my friends case lol). However my emotion regulation is WAYYYY worse than his was, I am a blob of emotionally distraught tears.

      neither of us would get off HRT for the world though.

          I did that on purpose
          (as an example of emotion regulation I wrote out a passive aggressive paragraph of why language changes over time and it’s not a crime to shorten 2 words, before realizing you were probably not being rude with it 😓🥲)

      yeah but now i have two people with reference points to both feminine and masculine hormonal makeup that agree with my assumption so I’m gonna believe them more…

      … not because they have unique perspectives but because they reaffirm my previously held beliefs
