I cry only over serious emotional things, let's say once every 4-6 months, k.

I hae always cried at the drop of a hat.  No idea what will happen when I start HRT

Tomorrow is my sisters birthday.
She lives in another state so I wrote her an email wishing her a happy birthday.
And I started tearing up just because I miss her and wish I could be with her.
Wow and I have never felt emotions like that before.
I may be sad but it is wonderful to be able to feel.

If you turn out like me, you'll actually cry less if anything.  For all of my life nobody (boys, girls, chimpanzees included) cried easier than me, well besides maybe babies, literal babies I mean.  After HRT started I found I was so much happier, especially for the first 6 months or so when I was insulating myself from anything I thought might hurt me, that I really didn't cry that much.  Nowadays, living fully in harm's way, I probably cry about the same amount as I used to.  The difference, and this has been big, is how deeply I feel it when I get emotional.  I absolutely just fall into little bits!

I've always been emotional but rarely cried on the job. Going home I would then weep. Now is much the same, but I sort of like to share a cry with friends, sorry my sisters.  Crying is a release of  emotion, and healthy; a damn sight more healthy than bashing your fist into a wall and the wall wins.

Oh I don't cry any more know than before, I just don't hide it.

I cry every day 

My tears would always come out whether I wanted them or not, even when my hormones were supposed to be 'raging'.
Now I just let them flow freely, I cry all the time and everywhere 

Yesterday we were driving on the hway and there was this most beautiful patch of fall trees and foliage that I had ever seen engulfing us from all sides as if nothing beyond existed, and soon enough I got that distinctive knot in my chest... oops! I just had a tear writing this!!

I have always been a cry baby but since taking hormones I have turned into a BIG cry baby. I cry over happy things as well as sad and what has really changed is that I can make myself cry in seconds, my best friend said that will come in handy if I ever get pulled over for speeding, just may work. Have a peachy day

Oh yes!  Happy tears are also a new thing for me.  I love being able to feel that happy .

I cry a lot more easily than I used to.  Honestly, I'm completely ok with crying now, which is probably why I can cry so much.  I'm a lot more open to my emotions, so sometimes really dumb, random things make me cry.  Like, when Uncle Iro on the Avatar cartoon sang "Leaves from the Vine" for his dead son.  Or when I saw a picture of this girl with a tattoo that said "I miss you too - Mommy."  Crying's not that big of a deal; you have to cry every once and a while although I admit I do get sick of it if I cry a lot in the span of a couple days.

Yesterday I -almost- cried while watching a Canadian Tire ad where a grandmother gets to see her grandchildren. It was weird, funny and fun.

It's funny the things that will trigger a person's tears. Even something as simple as an advertisement,  if it brings to mind feelings or memories of a loved one or just a general feeling, can cause one to shed a tear. I myself have never had the experience of crying "happy tears" until recently; I am falling in love with a very wonderful man who treats me as I have always craved and wanted, and just thinking about how much I love him can cause me to tear up while my heart swells with love and joy. =] it's such a nice feeling to have such powerful emotions.

I cry a lot. I cry when I'm in pain. I cry when I'm sad. I cry when I'm happy. I cry when I'm overwealmed. I cry when I'm lonely. I cry at movies. I cry at life changing events. I cried when Angel died near the end of Rent. I cry every time I get lasered.  I've never really held back my emotions, even when I was pretending to be a guy.

I keep hearing that HRT makes people cry more, so I wonder if I'll become a big cry baby when I start up on hormones. lol.

It is very hard for me to cry for many reasons I suppose.  I bought into that stereotype a little of guys you know not crying but what really synched it for me what often doing things alone.  Since I often ended up having to fight all my own fights alone on every front and never had a trustworthy shoulder to cry on till recently?  I convinced myself that I couldn't afford to cry or I'd lose the control I gained on many fronts.

That has been hard to overcome for me but slowly I'm allowing myself to cry more and I'm better for it.  It is really nice to let a sad story, movie, animation, that is very well done carry you along.  And with life I feel better after it.  Nobody should be as stupid as I once was on crying.
