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!

I know its on Reddit and he is a bit of a crank but Dr Will Powers tried to do an "unofficial" study into it. His account is probably worth a read.

Are you talking about the time he screwed up his estradiol cream dose (which he uses as a cosmetic) and accidentally over-dosed himself with estrogen and experienced gender dysphoria?

Yeah. I mean, it demonstrates that the wrong hormones do that ig
