Testosterone has changed me (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

I've been on 25mg of 1% gel for about a month. It's astonishing how different it's made me feel. 25mg is not much, and yet it's as if a cloud has lifted from my brain in recent days. A cloud that's been here since my brain was flooded with estrogen during first puberty. Can't wait to see how it'll feel with a higher dosage.

It really seems that there's some truth to the "some brains are wired for estrogen and some for testosterone" theory. What other explanation could there be for this.

Anybody else experienced the same thing?

I'm not a singer, but I've heard second puberty can be a challenge for singers, but if you're serious about maintaining your singing voice there's ways to do that. Testosterone is testosterone, but being better able to control the dose with the gel might help?
