Considering Transition

[LeaP]

I suppose the best way to get some idea if this theory holds any water would to be to ask the girls who have been on hrt for at least a year or so if they have experienced any changes to their visual-spatial skills.

I'm 10 months in. At about 4-5 months I started experiencing changes to my depth perception and sense of perspective. The best way I can describe it is an enhanced sense of space, of dimensionality. It's still happening (or different), but I don't notice it so much anymore as I've become accustomed. It's subtle and hard to really tell if it's visual or perceptual or both. I also "feel" my surroundings more, which I attribute to reduced dissociation also.

I'm still a superb parallel parker!

[Lea], must anxiousness and irritability be tied to hormones? They are during adolescence, PMS, menopause and IMS, but lots of people both male and female are irritable and anxious outside of these times.

Reine, there's irritation and there's OH MY GOD, CATACLYSMIC, RUN FOR THE HILLS UNENDING SYSTEMIC IRRITATION (along with its best friends titanic anger and reactivity)! The first may not be hormonal, but the second sure was for me!
