Just wondering what the experience is like for cis men who have experienced estrogen dominance...

I've read that there are accounts of side effects in men who take estrogen for prostate cancer and who experience depression.

There are also the famous cases of Alan Turing and David Reimer. Was hoping for more first hand accounts of what the cis male experience is like on estrogen.

Just wondering if anyone has experiences they're willing to share. Thanks!

No but I have eated "soy beans" which are quite delicious. Afterwards I felt a sense of contentedness wash over me.

phytoestrogens in foods like soy beans don't function like estradiol, it's basically a myth that soy has any feminizing hormonal effects

here's a quick overview: https://extension.unh.edu/blog/2021/05/why-are-some-people-so-afraid-soy
