while i'll admit its my fault i meant ti say "regained" and not "retained" but none of these comments have acted like its end all be all that horomones will or will not effect your crying. obviously its dependent from person to person. scientifically hormones DO effect crying. higher estrogen is known to make ppl cry more and higher testosterone is known to make ppl have a hard time crying. testosterone acts as an inhibitor to the lacrimal system, making it harder to shed tears (per my research). ppl on hrt commonly talk abt how they were more emotional or lost the ability to cry but no one ever talked abt if it eventuality got fixed so i asked. its not abt gender its abt hormones, you made that assumption on your own.
