I’m 21, just diagnosed with locah, and about to start hormone treatments. I’m utterly terrified that lower testosterone levels etc. will change my personality somewhat, that I’ll lose my tomboyishness, my visual/math skills, my analytical mind, my love of violent sports, my high sex drive, etc. My endocrinologist tells me that the hormones shouldn’t affect these things, and that if they do, it’s all in my head. I remain unconvinced. Does going on hormones affect these things? Does it change who you are? Does it lower your sex drive? I remember going on the Pill and crying more easily while on it. I’m all too scared. I love who I am, I don’t want to change.
