Some others, although far fewer, I think, have had the opposite reaction (that is, an increase in the desire to express as female). I am one of those who saw the very strong desire decrease significantly. I can honestly say I am far happier with myself than I can ever remember being, and as you put it, I "got my brain back."
And then there's me, and the use of estrogens both PM and estradiol have not changed the fact that I'm female in spirit and mind either to the less or the greater.
Though I do agree that I no longer "need to transition". In my mind I already have and now it's just a matter of correcting the birth defects. The sooner the better. But of course money has to get in the way.
EDIT: And yes. IF Emily gets the mental benefits they're looking for, it'll be PM alone that'll do it. T-blockers are for those interested in actually having serious physical changes. That said, there's nothing wrong with trying pygeum instead of SP... Especially since Emily did say they're experiencing hair loss. It may not give any additional mental benefit, but it does certainly help with hair loss if you catch it early enough.
