Does Testosterone Change Your Personality?

Also touch on gender identity but I meant personality/femininity/masculinity.

I was already pretty confident pre T as I passed pretty well - I was just emotionally sensitive. Any little look would make me want to cry. Now I literally can't. It's not the social expectation that men can't cry - I want to and I try but I literally can't. Hormones do affect a persons behavior and personality.

Testosterone changes behavior and pretty much all mammals. It’s crazy to say it’s not the testosterone that makes you confident. It’s not the only thing but it’s a HUGE part.

Ty is probably one of the most helpful Ftm's out there and is the reason I could be comfortable coming out into society

Hey Ty,
You are such an inspiration to me..you and your videos saved my life. I had the courage from you to come out to my friends and family and see a therapist to soon start me on my journey as a trans-guy. Without you I probably wouldn't be typing this comment right now..so from the bottom of my heart, thank you <3

This was a very unique perspective, but I think it is honestly different for everyone. Ty never gets mistaken as female so he is super lucky. Some of us other guys might not ever get to know what that is like, but that isn't what matters to me. T has made me feel....well again. I feel like I can finally breath....that my thoughts and feelings are more logically aligned....it's been an internal experience for me, but I gotta give it to ya Ty, you are one lucky guy!!

You're awesome, I don't know where you've been all my life, but I'm totally in love with you and you're videos!

Great way of explaining something that is often misunderstood.

Great video Tyler! Nice way of explaining this

I think a good way of putting it would be to say that it can(but doesn't necessarily for everyone) change your behavior and emotions, but it won't change your personality. For example, if you feel good after spending time with people(you are extraverted), you will still feel good after spending time with people, and you may in fact have more confidence to do that.

Of course I'm talking about what science has told us about how hormones(especially sex hormones) effect people, not a personal experience.

Perfect video. Everything you said was extremely helpful. Thanks man!

Not sure if your statement in the beginning universally applies, and I can at least say something about it through my story.
Up until 19 years of age I was a woman and a cis person, and very little contradicted that. In my sophomore year of college, my body suddenly started producing a lot of testosterone. Around the same time, I experienced a 'waking up' some kind of sleeping dragon in my mind that comprised of a more male body map and more masculine forms forms of expression; aka, a masculine non-binary gender. I began expressing myself (involuntarily) as another gender, and started suffering from psychosomatic-presenting body dysphoria relating to my females sexual characteristics. It eventually led to me affirming that I was indeed bigender or genderfluid.
Whether that spike was the sole cause of my bigender experiences, I do not know, but I know it must have had some influence; when the T levels started going down again, I started experiencing the gender 'flips' less and less, and my body dysphoria gradually declined and presented in less frequent episodes.

Just a story to think about, as I know I am not the only one who has experienced this.

I needed to hear this thank you so much

[maxxpierce]

love you Ty! You inspire me so much, thankyou

[guacwithluv]

this is very true. wish more people understood it

[sunnyg]

I was wondering more if taking testosterone can possibly cause male aggression. I'd like to know what you think from your own experience (I apologize if you've answered this before!) Time to do some research for myself :)

Awesome video Ty! This is an interesting topic.

[shinozukaeu]

Thank you. I used this video to explain things to my parents because I am horrible of words. This helped alot.

[rydertolentino]
