Estrogen and G'd
Aug. 30th, 2015 10:15 amIn my experience, estrogen makes it easier to feel connected to G’d and to other people, progesterone is complicated, and excess testosterone makes it harder.
It’s possible that this is because dysphoria makes it harder.
It’s also possible that estrogen generally makes it easier, just like it generally makes emotions stronger, migraines nastier, etc.
And throughout history, there have been religious movements of trans womyn, and transfeminine people, and also of apparent men who castrated themselves to get closer to G’d. But there have hardly ever been comparable movements of trans men, and transmasculine people.
