Hi guys

Hope you are all well i have been doing some reading and looking into stories of other Ftm's i have been talking with my partner and we are a bit concerned on how testosterone changes you as a person. I know some things will change but we are concerned on how much i will change. if you guys can help it would be great

Thanks Chad

I think this is one of the major fears that the partners of a lot of guys have - especially around whether T will make the person more aggressive. However, every time I've seen this question come up, the majority of the responses say that T has made the guy more at ease with themselves, more laid back, and better able to deal with life in general. There's always a few people who say that yes, their anger and aggression levels have risen, but that always seems to be the minority.

From a personal point of view, T has definitely made me feel much more at ease with myself. Quite a few of my friends have commented on this - how much happier I seem in myself. They've also said that I've become more assertive - not aggressive, but less likely to keep quiet about things that annoy or upset me. One friend has said that I've become more bossy - but in her eyes, bossy is a definite positive, so that's also a compliment - and I think she's probably referring to assertiveness as well.

Having the wrong hormones coursing through your system is like putting diesel in your Ferrari: it doesn't run so well. Put the right stuff in and you'll run sweet as a nut.

My overall personality is pretty much the same as it always was. Im still the same person. Yeah im alot more at ease now that my voice has changed and that I pass 100% of the time. So im no longer up tight about that.
Agression wise. I guess im one of the few that has had an increase in anger. Before T I was so laid back you could have knocked me down with a feather lol these days the slightest arguement sets me of into a rage. I can feel the anger welling up inside of me and I almost always want to lash out. I always stop myself from lashing out, all except once that is.

T affects people in different ways. Just because its increased my aggression doesnt mean it will for you. There are alot of guys who dont have that change. You wont know how you will be until you start on it.

Overall tho, im the same person. Im still the same person my family and friends all know.. personality wise. So I wouldnt worry too much about it mate.
