My bf started t some time ago and I love that he’s happy and a lot of the changes that are happening but he’s also just gotten a lot meaner and more agresive and it’s really scaring me. I’m scared for us. Is it the t or am I just losing him.

hormonal changes can impact everyone differently, but tbh, “t makes people aggressive and angry” is just a form of bioessentialist justification for misogyny. for me, being on t has given me a level of emotional control and maturity i didn’t have prior (PMDD + dysphoria is a fucked up combo). not saying it can’t make him more volatile necessarily, but *meanness* is a choice, and if he’s aware of these changes in himself he needs to work to develop coping skills—not lash out.

I’m going to see him today and talk to him about everything and tell him how I feel and essentially tell him I need something to change or we are going to need to do something about it
