Testosterone made me calmer and more easy going. Everyone who knows me has seen a positive change. Even my parents, extremely skeptical when I told them I was transitioning, agree that testosterone/transitioning made unambiguous improvements to my temperament and demeanor.https://twitter.com/MeowtroidPrime/status/1037424781996568582 …

I was nervous about side effects of testosterone, particularly negative emotional or mental effects. The overwhelming majority of trans men find we're calmer, happier, less anxious on T. We simply do not turn into rage monster stereotypes in any large numbers.
