Girls, since yesterday I have started a hormonal treatment (for a transition from male to female). What emotions do hormones provoke in you?

since yesterday I have started a hormonal treatment (for a transition from male to female). I would like to know what effects the female hormones will have on me emotionally. What emotions do hormones provoke in you?

[_Maya_]

You really ought to talk to your doctor about this. Hormones can effect people in different ways. I have no clue what female hormones do to a guy emotionally. I know what it does to me. Luckily being on birth control my hormones are much more regulated than when I wasn't on it. I don't get as moody during my period as I used to. For a guy though? I have no clue if an overload of hormones has the same sorta effect. This is definitely a question for the doctor that prescribed them.

[Asker]

Thank you very much for this answer. But for example, do you go from one emotion to another quite quickly, like being sad, then happy, angry etc?

[_Maya_]

Okay so before I was on birth control yes my emotions would swing pretty wildly. I wouldn't call it quick like one second I was irritable and the next in tears but I did have quite the range. Since on birth control I don't get that way nearly like I did before.

[Asker]

Thank you very much for the clarification and I'm glad to hear that things have improved for you.

Normally I'm not a transgender woman at all. But as I explained in my very first question, to avoid compulsory military service in my country I pretended to be a transgender woman. But they demanded proof. As a result I found myself stuck because of my lie, and now I'm forced to start a gender transition.

[_Maya_]

You're welcome. Yeah once I found the right birth control which are just hormones things got a lot better. I just don't know what introducing an adundance of female hormones that do not naturally occur in a guy's body at those levels actually does to one's mood. I'd definitely ask a doctor about possible side effects and how to deal with them. The doctor might back off the dosage or something. Again unsure but just a guess.

[Asker]

Yes, I think you're absolutely right. Anyway I'm going to experience it very soon, I just started yesterday, thanks to which I was able to bring proof to the military office that I have indeed started treatment to become a transgender woman.

I hope I'll soon get used to my female body. The lesson of all this is that a lie is never good.

[Matthias345]

@_maya_ Girl, isn't this what we call karma, what he had to endure? You shouldn't have lied Baron 🤣.

[_Maya_]

@Matthias345 well I for one know what misery I faced when my hormones were outta control lol. I had to get on bc around 13 it was so bad.

[Matthias345]

@_maya_ Oh wow! You must have been through a lot. Let me give you a virtual hug. I'm glad to hear that things have worked out for you. ❤️

We agree that Baron shouldn't have lied to avoid military service? 😅

[_Maya_]

@Matthias345 Aww thanks. Yeah they were pretty bad when I was young.

Yeah I don't advocate lying for any reason. This seems rather drastic to change gender. That is a real life altering thing. I have to imagine expensive too with the surgeries no?

[Matthias345]

@_maya_ Oh yes it's radical, I think he didn't think about the consequences of his lie and he didn't think that his government would demand proof. Oh yes maybe in his country there is help to pay for his operation.

Now he has to face up to the consequences of his lie.

What the HOLY FUCK! Where do you live? Nazi Germany?

I would tell them to eat my shit and escape that stinking hole as fast as possible. You are going to let your Nazi government destroy your life? Get the hell out of that shithole man! Are you nuts?

[butterly248]

@RingOfFire Turkish prison isn't nice. Also, they said they had no money to leave. I've suggested they try and contact a free lawyer

[butterly248]

It's gonna take a long time for your body to get used to this. As it goes on, you will most likely get the symptoms of phantom periods include abdominal cramps, fatigue, tenderness in the breasts, mood swings, bloating, overall discomfort etc.

But I'm not a medical professional nor am I experienced in this. Please talk to someone who understands this and I wish you the best of luck ♥️

[butterly248]

Wait your lying? Omg what a mes

[butterly248]

You need to stop

[butterly248]

No, seriously please think about this. Have u spoken to anyone about this.

[Asker]

If I say now that I lied, I risk going to prison, and then I'll be sent to military service.

[Asker]

I don't want to risk prison

[butterly248]

What country are you in?

[Asker]

Turkey

[butterly248]

I'm sorry. Are you struggling eith your identity.

[Asker]

I'm not sure what you mean. But if you're wondering if I'm managing to adapt to my new life as a woman, well for the moment I'm not. It's very difficult

[butterly248]

Do u want to become a woman?

[Asker]

No, but now I have to because of my lie. I didn't think they'd ask for proof, that's why I said that. If I tell them I lied I'll be convicted and I'll go to prison and believe me, Turkish prisons are hell.

[butterly248]

You can say you were confused.

[Asker]

I don't know what country you live in, but believe me, in Turkey our lives are very different from your Western values. If I had said I was confused, it would have meant nothing to them, they would have sent me to the army ,

[butterly248]

I just read up on it, and I'm sorry. I'm from the UK. You have to serve until you are 38? This is bad and I'm sorry.

[Asker]

Thank you so much for your support. Well, since I lied and said I was a transgender woman, I'm escaping my military service. But because of my lie, I am really forced to become a woman. It's very difficult to live with. But the doctor gave me the certificate to start hormones on Monday.

[butterly248]

I dm you :)

[Asker]

Yes, I just answered 🙂

[Staximus]

I can stretch my dong to the floor and my ears to the ceiling and call myself a donkey but that doesn't make me a donkey now, does it?

[Anonymous]

Probably not a good idea to start a new medication without knowing how it’ll affect you.

[Charliefretz329]

I’m not buying it.


But hormones can make you insane

[thatshydork]

First off, congratulations!!! That’s a big step and you should be proud!

Now to answer your question, hormones trigger anger, annoyance, and depression in me.

[Asker]

Thank you for sharing your experience with me and thank you for your compliments. But my story is a bit complex

Normally I'm not a transgender woman at all. But as I explained in my very first question, to avoid compulsory military service in my country I pretended to be a transgender woman. But they demanded proof. As a result I found myself stuck because of my lie, and now I'm forced to start a gender transition.

[thatshydork]

Oh I didn’t know.

[Asker]

No problem, you can't guess. That's why I took the liberty of explaining my situation. To help me get used to living like a woman, I wear women's clothes, I'm trying to learn to wear make-up, and to walk in heels. It's not easy

[m33ladmjmj]

Take pills to become a kangaroo..

[thatshydork]

You don’t have to wear heels or makeup to be a woman. I only wear heels on special occasions and I don’t wear makeup unless I want to but that doesn’t make me less of a woman.

[Asker]

Yeah so true

[thatshydork]

With that being said, here’s a tip:

Walk on your toes when wearing heels. Start off with wedges and small heels, then work your way up to the stilettos. It’s easier that way. In the US, men’s shoes are two sizes down from women’s shoes. Example: I wear size women’s 13 but a size 11 in men’s.

[Asker]

Thank you very much for these tips, they will really help me.

[thatshydork]

No problem. Heels are uncomfortable as hell

[Anonymous]

Those pills are only going to change your physical appearance.

You cannot medically, scientifically or biologically transition to a female if you were born male.

[Asker]

Normally I'm not a transgender woman at all. But as I explained in my very first question, to avoid compulsory military service in my country I pretended to be a transgender woman. But they demanded proof. As a result I found myself stuck because of my lie, and now I'm forced to start a gender transition.

[Opinion Owner]

This sounds like a troll to me but just in case you aren’t estrogen can cause things like breast growth which is physical but I believe it’s also true an estrogen imbalance can cause things like depression, fatigue and mood swings. A normal estrogen hormone balance is the best things to have so make sure you take the right dosage.

[Asker]

Unfortunately it's true. I had two choices: either I could tell the truth, but if I told my government that I'd lied to get out of military service I'd risk prison, plus I'd still be forced to do my military service, and so on. Or I can say nothing and accept the consequences of my lie, which is what I've decided to do. Even if it hurts my heart.

The doctor yesterday gave me the certificate to start the hormones, and I was able to take the doctor's certificate to the military office as proof. Now I'm going to have regular check-ups. I hope it won't be too hard emotionally.

[Opinion Owner]

You still seem like a troll to me but just in case you aren’t have you every consider becoming a refugee in another country

[Asker]

I live in Turkey. I don't have the financial means to live abroad. But I would like to come to a country of freedom like the usa.

[MissBoogus]

Fuck hormones! They are horrible

Wait … are you for real?

[Asker]

Yeah of course

[MissBoogus]

? It will be incredibly hard

[Asker]

Yes it is 😥 To help me get used to living like a woman, I wear women's clothes, I'm trying to learn to wear make-up, and to walk in heels. It's not easy

[MissBoogus]

I’m not the best person to ask because I suffer from PMDD so my hormones are already out of wack.

[Asker]

I am very sorry for your problems. I hope there are or will be solutions for your problem ❤️

[serious_miss419]

😅😅 you’re taking chemicals.
