can any girls here speak on their experience with being way in tune with their emotions even before starting hrt? i haven’t started yet and it genuinely still feels like i have way higher estrogen than my pre-transition body would give me

what do you mean being in tune with your emotions. what does that have to do with your estrogen levels?

I feel pretty similar. I havent started either yet (plan to within a month or two) but I’ve been feeling more emotions than I ever have before I realized I was trans. It’s not all good, I feel a lot of anxiety and loneliness and sadness, I’ve cried a little bit, but I also feel a lot of comfort and community and being where I want to be

#2 described it pretty well. in my research on hormonal changes feeling emotions more “fully” is one of the effects, I think it means better emotional regulation
