[cddboxes]

hi ! i think your " this collective is mixed " userbox got a lil uh funky- it cut off what i'm assuming is the word mixed ? wanted to let you know incase you didn't realize!

I didn't even realize till you pointed it out 😭

I could fix it but it would take me some time and idk if someone wants that version to take the time to find the userbox and correct it

If someone ask here for the fixed version I will totally do it, if not well I guess we're just gonna stick with that funky version lmao

Just fyi, because I tell everyone this even if they don't ask or we aren't really talking about it: t gets talked a big game but it's a fucking pussycat.

I went through PMS From Hell Murder Rage Moodswing Crying Jag Trash the Kitchen Over Poptarts Burn the Earth Howling Despair Puberty with a uterus. I learned how to identify and track the intrusive thoughts and chimerical emotions which were just effects of hormonal spikes and crashes as my brain and body flooded and purged the chemicals which triggered and completed my menstrual cycle. Eventually they became like animals on a trailcam to me, familiar by their bent tail or uneven gait, all teeth and claws but at a remove from me; I could observe them but they couldn't touch me anymore. The desire to say the cruelest thing to someone, the need to put my hand through a wall, the scream that wanted to crawl up my throat, the unreasoning despair that dragged at my from my bed; I knew them and turned them aside.

Having learned that? Compared to that? Testosterone is like a kitten that's just learned how to hiss. I've been on it for almost a decade and any uptick in oooh scary negative aggressive emotions has been so minimal it's never crossed baseline.

I've never noticed an increase in aggression. Hell, I'm not competitive by nature and the literal steroid I inject hasn't managed to change that. I'm more emotionally coherent now than I was at the mercy of my admittedly dysregulated estrogen based endocrine system; part of that might be the shock training of having had to deal with an obstreperous uterus for years.

I don't think that testosterone does make you more angry or aggressive or volatile than do the other hormones. I think that we say it does, and that we don't expect young people coming into puberty with a testosterone based system to learn how to control themselves or regulate their own emotions-- not because they are in the power of an overwhelming hormone, but because our society doesn't want to expect better or more of them. Because our society is set up to make excuses for men and boys as long as they're fulfilling the expectations of patriarchy-- being aggressive, expressing anger and dominance, not having emotional regulation, not being aware of their own emotions or even their own physical responses, not treating other people as people, all the negatives attributed to testosterone.

As long as testosterone remains the "aggressive" hormone, it stays a get out of jail free card for men reinforcing the patriarchy's demands of men; demystifying it would dismantle that excuse. Rejecting the propaganda around testosterone by, for instance, listening to trans and intersex people who take it, would kick away one of the pillars of "boys will be boys," the myth that men can't be held responsible for their emotions or actions and can't be expected to do their own regulation because testosterone is just so powerful, just so volatile, just so hard to control.

Bullshit. It is in the interests of anyone making that argument not to try, that's all. When people parrot that line, and when they project those lies (and their accompanying expectations of anger, aggression, volatility et al) onto trans mascs and intersex people on t, they do the patriarchy's job for them. They make testosterone into a violent sacrament for the oppressor priest caste, when all it is, is a hormone that ups your muscle density, changes where you carry your fat and how much hair you grow where, and reverses your anemia.

It does increase horniness tho, that's true (but that's not the same as lowering inhibitions or self control, and it doesn't absolve anyone of the responsibility to respect others).

Funny story for getting this far. About six weeks into taking an aromatization regulator to keep my free testosterone levels higher (the body tries to transform excess back into estrogen), it suddenly occurred to me that I was spending more time masturbating than usual. That's what I noticed. I literally thought "huh, wow, I'm really have some time management issues lately, I'm just spending so much time jacki-- ohhhh, I bet I know what this is."

Why do cis women act like it’s the end of the world when their trans guy friends starts T.

You’d think I’d killed somebody with the reactions I got when I told some of my fandom friends I started T.

There’s cis people on here who spend hours writing about anime men with pussies having sex that say “are you sure this is the right choice for you? T can make you really aggressive.” When a real life trans guy starts T
