Hiding tucked away for years from the world was the true me. I always saw myself as who I am today the pretty Lady deep with in me in the shell that would not fit. My T-levels was low for a time and it never help that I was given more! I felt worst! Now I feel like myself and watching the butterfly slowly coming out into this world is the best!!! ;D

The Rose that Grew from Concrete
Did you hear about the rose that grew from a crack in the concrete?
Proving nature's law is wrong it learned to walk with out having feet.
Funny it seems, but by keeping it's dreams,
it learned to breathe fresh air.

So I spoke with my therapist on this subject and the response was that in most cases a cis male that takes female hormones would in most cases have NO negative impact. However, they would not experience the euphoria that most TG experiences. As far as the plecebo effect it would only be true if before you started HRT, the mental euphoria was explained or that you read it somewhere and you wanted it to work so much. Personally, I had no idea that the mental changes would be such a major part and I just thought that it was all about physical changes. Hope this helps
When we first start our journey the perception and moral values all dramatically change in wonderment. As we evolve further it all becomes normal again but the journey has changed us forever.

Interesting.  I too wasn't expecting the mental changes to be so significant.  A few weeks ago, even after being on spiro for a while, I would wake up and being trans would be the first thing I would think about and it would be an uncomfortable feeling that lasted all throughout the day.  From a few days after taking low-dose estrogen, it's like I've forgotten I'm trans.  The mental calming effects are just absolutely incredible, far above and beyond anything I could have possibly imagined beforehand, and far above and beyond what I think any kind of antidepressant or mood stabilizer could have provided.  Such a simple, cheap, effective way to immediately take the edge off the pain caused by being trans.

The physical changes definately made me feel different in my head too

I dont what exactly is caused by HRT, physical changes making me happier or just placebo: the idea I am actually having HRT already is a little boost

Hard to dissect really
