Maybe. Some experience a mental change from pm while others don't. Bryony and I both experience 'brain rewiring' from taking pm, while Pansy-Mae doesn't.

Wanted to comment on this specifically, I do not believe that PM or hormones have the same psychological effect on everybody.

I had noticed nothing on PM, actually my dysphoria got worse since I wanted to transition and I wanted more changes, faster.

I think it really comes down to psychology and expectations, I don't think it's exclusively physical. Everyone is different and what you really want comes into play.

The same is true for HRT, some people without even realising it have tremendous relief from HRT.. others feel no different and are only interested in the physical outcomes. Personally HRT has no difference for me other than possibly (could be just wishful thinking) a calming effect.

It's a myth that all people with GID have bad mental health and that some kind of hormone is a magic bullet.
