I know they're normal to have on T but I was wondering if anyone has any theories about why? Is it cause our "junk" is frying itself or shutting down? That's fine, the crap can fry itself to oblivion for all I care. Or is it just our bodies getting used to higher T levels? Do cisdudes go through this during puberty?

No. The are most commonly associated with older women and menopause.
Could be because you don't have as much estrogen in your system? Friend of mine told me you're going through male puberty and female menopause at the same time the first few months.
I wonder if the reason why I skipped that is because I'm on hormone blockers. Hmmm...
There is no hot flash thing for me, I don't know why you are getting them.
I've had a few hot flashes recently. Horrible things.
I assume it's because we're putting our reproductive system through the menopause and hot flashes are very common during menopause.
My doctor said if I ever meaningfully reduce my estrogen, hot flashes are likely, as they are a direct side effect of lowered estrogen levels.
I once dated a menopausal nurse for several months, and that seemed to be her take on it, as well.
Well I have no ovaries and still no hot flashes.
I am only 18 and pre-T and I frequently get hot flashes. Which probably isn't good.
I get hot flashes during "the red death." It happens when your estrogen levels are low. With some folks, hot flashes come either right before a cycle or the very beginning. With T it's from lack of estrogen production.

T makes a cisdude's puberty an endless sequence of masturbations with a penis that won't lie down and go to sleep.
Taking sage, either as a capsule, or as a tincture, is very good for hot flushes associated with hormonal changes. Sticking more sage in your food won't make a whole lot of difference, though - needs to be more concentrated. It will also help if hot sweats are disturbing your sleep.
Cool. Good to know that it's cause the levels of that dreaded hormone in my body are low :D
I got more of them recently cause I switched my shots to every 10 days. They've become less frequent but still happen every day. They were less frequent before I switched to every 10 days. I'll just hold out right now and wait for them to subside cause they aren't too bothersome yet.
Question...if these happen does it mean our...things that make that thing happen every month are shutting down for good? If you don't get them on T is it an indication that they haven't shut down yet? I haven't had that thing happen since day 1 of being on T. It would be great if it really meant they're fried for good.
