I’m unfortunately yet not on HRT, but I think it may make some neurological effect, since it’s putting hormones on the body that it isn’t used to have, at the very least.
I mean, they DO have effect, I think the question asked was wether that effect is “felt” when you start them, or “realized” as changes happen over time. I think that at first it’s going to be obviously felt, because the body is just getting exposed to new hormone amounts, but over time it will get used to it, so changes won’t be as noticeable.
I can confirm it does. It is a lot rarer now for me to experience anger and it is a lot easier for me to cry. I also had a change in taste as well. I used to hate blueberries, grapes, and asparagus but now I love them. I’ve also found that my tolerance and cravings for spicy food has increased as well. Those changes all occured within my first few months of taking HRT.

even if you’re used to them they’ve gotta have an effect, that’s the whole point of hormones isn’t it? they’re the body’s long-term signalling system.

(PS, I hope you are able to get HRT soon)
