I know I come up with the craziest questions ever but if these things go away after transition then that'd be heaven.
So I've always sweat.. my arm pits since I'm naturally anxious. However.. since a few months before questioning my gender I've been dripping water basically.. especially when I talk with people.. my chest.. back.. armpits and even groin sweat non stop.
This happened to any of you and went away after transitioning?

Its possible it changes after transition.
Some people report a change in odor, and possibly in amount of sweat.
*hugs*

I find mine is entirely anxiety related. As you begin to ease that anxiety the sweating goes away.
Regarding Laura's comment about odor, almost immediately upon starting HRT my normal body odor went away, but then as my stress levels went through the roof (due to unrelated stuff) a particular aspect of it came back. Now that I'm not stressing out the smell is gone again. Apparently anxiety has a smell. Who knew?

Used to sweat a lot, but HRT seems to have put a hold on that. My natural body smell has definitely changed. My cat hates women and now she hates me. I get bit all the time...and no, I am not mean to her. She treats me like every other woman that has ever come in the house.
Not sure why the sweating stopped, but my endo told me I would be investing in moisturizer as HRT often causes skin to dry.
