I to have experienced changes that I consider for the better since going on HRT. I allow myself to feel more, be empathetic to others more. I feel very little anger anymore and my perspectives have changed to wanting to be a better person/woman. I still care about what goes on the news, but I also find myself less wrapped up about the bad in the world and more into whats good. I used to feel that crying was a wasted emotion and now I love a good cry over a sad story. I find that I enjoy my emotions and I'm more willing to express them rather than bottle them up inside. I also find that I'm happier, calmer, I smile more and people respond back to me positively more and I like that. My voice is softer and sweeter to my ears and I love that. All of these positives have occurred since I began to take estrogen and to repress my androgens. I love what estrogen has accomplished in my life. My daughter commented yesterday that she loves the changes in me. She has started to refer to me as Katheryn now. I loved my dad,but also I love Katheryn and I LIKE Katheryn better. She's an awfully smart young lady and I like me better to. Kathryn

That's so awesome Kathryn, I am very happy for you and your daughter

My daughters can't help but notice the changes in our home, and it's calmer, better communication between us all.

Positive changes, powerful stuff, life changing most definately.

My basic aptitude is very strong in math and off the charts in critical thinking skills and concepts. I'm a real problem-solver and I really love doing that. So, the question is, is that aspect of my brain likely to change? Will I suffer diminished ability to visualize concepts in my head, lose some of my math skills and have reduced problem solving abilities?

I am the same way and I can tell you that *shouldn't change for you... Im still just as sharp as the day I started HRT. Although I will say that my desire to tackle complex tasks has diminished but not my ability... hope that helps

While there is proof that hormones affect the brain's physiology, there is yet no evidence that they have a significant impact on cognitive abilities.

As a matter of fact, there are so many factors that can affect cognitive efficiency that I wouldn't bother too much about the effects HRT may have over it. Aspects like ageing, diet, and sleeping patterns can have much more effect on your mental skills.

Try to do some regular cognitive training and it will definitely offset any impact HRT could have on cognitive skills.

I remember reading how that brain game for nintendo DS (forgot what it is called) that came out a few years back actually had a measurable positive impact on Alzheimers patients. So yea I could see cognitive training making more of a difference than any negative cognitive effects of HRT (which I doubt there is any). So I don't know, just challenge yourself once in awhile

Game is called Brain Age, and it's a hell ofa great game.

I feel my mood changing and the way I perceive problems to slip into a more female perspective as it did when I was younger. Before all the social pressures of needing to be manly took hold. I'm probably not a great candidate since I have always had moods, emotions and thought patterns as the women that were close to me but I feel like HRT has already changed me for the better. The lack of violent rage has already been a blessing in traffic I just hope it doesn't affect my direction sense, men have a better direction sense than women, google the science because it's too late for me to fact check me self lol

I have no base line for my temper or mood before hrt, as it has been far to long since i started HRT to remember my self with out them. i remember personality as a child i was always sensitive emapthetic , caring and much much more shy. that was shortly before hormones and also shortly before i became a teenager . this is also about the time when my mom started pushing me to be "tougher" put me in martial arts classes. even with the hrt and the appearnce that it gave me. i was still able to maintain an air of masculinity. by simply beating the crap outta any one that questioned the way i looked. while i wasn't thee toughest "boy" around , the term bad a88 was sometimes applied to me . though i laughed about it on the inside . " what bad a88 cries after a fight and worries that they seriously hurt the other person, when no ones around ? " i have never been a violent person , even when i was a "violent" person it was all a show born of nessecity.

I feel HRT had no real effect on that aspect of me or the rewiring of anything. I am naturally a polite caring and friendly person. it was coming out and living as a woman that allows me to freely express those traits in me. with out repercussion.

though i think most of these effects that people get are from the reduction of testosterone more than it is attributed to the addition of more estrogen. reduced anger tension and aggression over active sex drive, spriolatone is used to treat all of that..... even in women.

i also think that the reduction in said testosterone allows for the enhancment of these natural attributes to show threw .

I think Cindy will get this since she and I share an electronic hobby, but, I don't think the wiring in my brain has changed, but some filter circuits have been turned off, and the values on some of the components values have changed a bit so I receive better low power signals than I did before and just overall hear parts of the frequency a little better. An emotional sunspot cycle is in its good years.

Now OLD AGE rewires your brain - shorts it out to be more...

Now what is this topic? OH - Rewiring the brain to full female.

Now OLD AGE rewires your brain - make you repeat things.

So if you are old and on HRT you get to put those pretty blue pills under your tongue

Now if you are on injctibles, enjectionables... if you take shots, don't do it under the tongue.

Well I wouldn't.

I mean under the tongue

(I am not sure about the patches).

Lizzy, you had me a little confused at first, then I reread your post and got it <chuckle>. As my partner in crime here at work says, it's my alltimers kicking in. I've placed patches behind my ear (scopolamine), scrotum (testosterone), abdomen (insulin pump cannula), Estrogen patches (I'm getting creative) on my back shoulder. Anything else and it just might wind up under my tongue or in my ear. Kathryn
