Have you heard of the reverse (all the transfems who talk about how much more they cry after starting E)?
No, to be honest. I've just never heard of that side effect in general (maybe I'm uninformed).
Edit: typo
As a cishet male, I'm actually curious about this, myself! I was super emotional as a kid, but in my mid to late teens I virtually lost the ability to cry. Instead, my "sad" or "stressed" emotions would come out as frustration or anger. Now, my son is in his teens and he's going through the same thing, where he's realizing he can't cry like he used to. Definitely interested to know if this pretty much boils down to testosterone.
I went through the same thing and it was a recurring source of dysphoria for me until I started HRT. Crying rocks!
