As a cis, post menopausal female, I understand what you’re saying. A few years into menopause I realized how many things were impacted by hormones. It’s not just the physical! When you talk about smell and taste, and just a general feeling of being in the right body, that’s hormones. I remember being shocked at how much of my sense of sexuality was driven by hormones.
Thanks for sharing, and as an older, white female, I just want to say, I sure wish people would get their heads out of their asses and allow everyone to live in the body that’s right for them.
