Narciss posted:I'd be shocked if that's not pretty well accepted. Just ask anyone who has done anabolic steroids about the mood swings. The user will feel confident/happy/powerful during the main part of the cycle, and then possibly fall into depression/bitchiness/lethargy during the Estrogen Rebound phase. I imagine transpeople who use hormones experience similar effects, but more muted and longer lastling. Hormones certainly do have an effect, however there is enough variation among individuals to make prescribing emotional behaviour based on sex foolish. You would be surprised by some of the in-jokes trans people have about the unexpected effects of hormones. "Testosterone makes you gay [i.e.attracted to men]" for ftms, people finding that their skin inexplicably gets worse with less of it in their system, etc. Also to generalize, it's more like anger and depression are basically the same emotion but expressed differently because of the hormones, not that testosterone is a happy hormone and estrogen a bitch hormone. A person who is messing with their hormones who generally has a negative demeanor will be quick to anger when pumped full of testosterone and quick to tears when full of estrogen. Depending on the situation one or the other might be better. If you need to solve a problem anger is usually more helpful. If there's nothing you can do about a problem it makes sense to have a cry and move on rather than create pointless conflict.
