Thanks for those insights, Xora, I'm totally on board with this kind of speculation given that there is some research to back it up. I've always attributed my academic success, career in engineering, and aesthetic/design sense to having both sides of my brain engaged -- verbal/symbolic, as well as visualization ability. Now, having been tinkering with my hormones for several months, I'm finding more hidden treasures buried deep in my brain that I was largely unaware of.

BTW, you might want to move your message to a separate thread in the 'Gender Identity' sub-section if you want to stimulate more discussion in this area.

Welcome to the forum.
