I've just lost the post I was making (pressed the wrong button) so hopefully this will not show up as a duplicate posting.
Anyway - I'm not on PM, I'm on Fenugreek and Red Clover and I think it is affecting my mood. It is very subtle and I may just be fooling myself and it just might be coincidence. Anyway here is what is happening to me....
I've been a tranny for years and I'm happy enough with that, but in the past I have occasionally put it away for a period, sometimes months, sometimes years. I've never had to battle it, but since starting FG/RC I have become more reluctant to be in my male role. This week I had a real struggle with myself to go to work dressed as a man. Now I often wear make-up and earrings to work and my nails are long and polished, but even so I'm relatively discreet and no one is bothered. If I turn up in a skirt and heels..... hmmmm... maybe everyone would be ok, maybe not. In any case I had to turn the car round at one point, return home and swap the the dress and heels for something more masculine.
I've always been fairly comfortable in a female role, but now I'm completely comfortable in a female role, to the point that I'm struggling to cope with my existing role. To address the work problem I've bought female bootcut jeans and a neat tailored blouse and that's what I'll be wearing to work.
I've never had to struggle like this before, but I've never been on FG/RC before. I have not been keeping up with other bloke-ish things and I put it down to the weather as January/December was very bad weather-wise, but if I'm honest with myself, I just had no interest or drive to do the things I would normally do. I even enjoyed clothes shopping which I always regarded as an evil to be tolerated.
It could be coincidence. It could be that my developing breasts are causing me to think about how I want to live and appear and it is nothing to do directly with the FG/RC, or it could be that having phyto-oestrogens pouring around my body has affected my thoughts and feelings. I don't know.
As for sexuality, that is unaffected. If anything, my wife and I have been more active than ever and I still love her very much.
