Susan's Place Transgender Resources

Ms Grace said in another thread that testosterone can make a person more driven and aggressive. So, anyway my question is: What does that mean? What other personality changes go with taking T? I have not transitioned yet. They had to get me to a certain point plus we had to save up money for it because my insurence doesn't cover it. Any stories about your expierences with taking T and personality changes that may acurred with you may help me. I have alot of questions about my personality and taking T that I cannot list them all right now. As you all respond I may ask other questions that I have on this subject. Please feel free to answer even if you don't take T because you may have advice or info that may help me too.

I don't think personality changes. Some have expressed a quicker to anger but quicker to drop the anger type thing.

Personally, I'm calmer but not just because of the T, but because it feels right. Hard to explain until you have it happen.

I'm not sure what you saved up for.  A therapist will most often be covered at least partially under insurance, T is actually is quite affordable if you do injections, surgery I can see needing to save for, but you have a little time yet.  What big expense were you expecting?

I was not expecting any expence. The expences have been taken care of for me by my guardian and insurence company. I have noticed that things make upset quicker but I can also drop it quicker too, like you said. I have noticed that I seem not as sad as I was before taking T.

I was wondering what you saved up for if your expenses are covered.

Yes, my expenses are covered. I don't know what has been saved up. My guardian has that taken care of for me. I have been assured of that.

I've noticed I'm more confident and comfortable. It feels like my brain is working like it's supposed to. I am less paranoid and more able to believe that I can have connections to people.
