Hi Flamesabers
I read through alot of you post and interesting in what you mention about brain rewriting part, Can you give more description
Hello Andielee.
Welcome to the board.
I think this is a good summary of what brain rewiring means for me:
(29-01-2013, 01:19 AM)flamesabers Wrote: [ -> ]- Lack of interest in porn and masturbation
- Crossdressing for comfort and preference than arousal
- Being more sociable and patient
- Feeling less self-conscious about living outside the societal bounds of gender identity/expression
- Being more interested in achieving an androgynous appearance
- Being easier on myself (both on a physical and mental level)
As for providing more description, is there any particular part you're interested in? I could elaborate on all these points, but I can focus on a select few if you want me to.
For others, brain rewiring can be:
- Loss of desire to transition
- Becoming more emotional
- Feeling less aggressive
- Eliminates or significantly reduces gender dysphoria
I would like to know if it "changing" personality, or lost some ability which is good in male gender such as direction and distant but not limited to those, and because more female thinking pattern. and so on

Hi andilee, and welcome!
When I first read about the "re-wiring", I also thought it meant changing to a more female perspective and female way of thinking. I'm not sure that is really the case. For example, I am an electrical/software engineer by education (a typically male profession) and have not lost any of my logical thinking on PM.
Rather, I am one of those who has experienced a dramatic reduction in the gender dysphoria, desire to cross-dress, and interest in some of the other somewhat destructive male urges.
So in my case at least, I have not lost any of the mental/logical advantages I have (as a genetic male). I do feel that I have gained a more even temperament, more patience, and a general sense of well-being that I was missing before.
Hope this helps!
Misty
tks for reply
BTW I am a software engineer myself, I do not expect losing any acknowledge but more femme approach to handling daily life

I don't know whether you are concerned or intrigued by the idea of brain rewiring, but beyond stereotypes, what is considered a female thinking pattern?
Are you referring to having a female gender identity?
I'll try to answer the question anyway.
Pm hasn't changed my professional life in the slightest. I'm pursuing a graduate degree in the same major I took for my undergraduate degree, (which was before I started taking pm.) I have the same career aspirations, same GPA, same ambitions in life, etc.
My sense of direction and distance has always been bad. As I said earlier, others do report becoming more emotional while being on pm, but I haven't noticed any changes myself in this regard.
What would you consider to be a feminine approach to handling daily life? To better answer your question, I need a frame of reference.
I might need to re-phrase my question
I read through the internet and found some person their change your favor thing after HRT such as
play video games (before) cleaning (after)
Chocolate (before) dislike Chocolate(after)...
and so on...
Is high level estrogen exist in brain do change people mind?

I'm not sure about how HRT affects the mind.
I still like playing some video games. I don't love to clean but I don't hate to either. I see it as just something that needs to get done.
I still like chocolate.
Let me give you an example of how pm has and hasn't influenced me. I said previously pm increases my interest achieving an androgynous appearance. I've gotten much of my facial hair lasered off; keep in mind I never liked having to shave and I never dreamed of growing a beard or mustache. I suppose getting my facial hair lasered off is a step farther than just disliking having to shave, but I'm happy with the results. However, I don't wear makeup nor have I gotten my eyebrows waxed into thin arches.
The way I see it, brain rewiring can help move along tendencies and traits you already had prior, but it's not like brain rewiring completely changes who you are and how you think.
