To your point of brain rewiring... PM probably has some effect on brain chemistry. I believe that. Maybe soften the edges so to speak. After all, communication in the human body is a two way streak. The brain is constantly interpreting what your body is "doing" and adapting to it. So if the body becomes more curvy, softer to the touch, then maybe one's emotions can become softer too. Yet PM wouldn't change your intellectual side.

It's interesting, when writing the OP I was thinking of describing myself as becoming a softie in terms of brain rewiring. As far as emotional and intellectual sides go, I would expect the two would influence the other. The reason why I mentioned compartmentalization in the title is my hunch that I'm compartmentalizing my intellect versus having it freeflow with my emotions that are being rewired by pm. If though my intellect is how I would think if I was a genetic female, it makes sense how pm wouldn't have any impact on it.
