It’s something I’ve experienced as well. Crying when I was angry was a real problem for me before T, now it doesn’t happen. I also find it harder to cry when I’m sad. I don’t feel sadness less deeply or anything, I just don’t cry like I used to.
I think it probably has a lot to do with not being cripplingly depressed from dysphoria, but I can feel the tendency creeping back if I’m late on my shot. I’m very convinced there is at least some hormonal component playing a part in that, just because it’s too consistent and its tendency to return when my hormone levels are low hasn’t changed much even as my main sources of dysphoria (periods and breasts) were removed.
yeah the opposite is also true - trans women report crying much more after starting E
This explains why I had periods of absolute sadness/depression but it didn't even reflect on my face back when I was in 20s (cis m). Hated it so much.
