Hi Guys
I have not seen a lot of discussion on the theory dealing with hormonal showers in the womb leading to gender dysphoria et all.
This is what I know: at some point in the pregnancy the genes fire the process which leads to the genitals developing. During this time the "appropriate" hormonal shower is needed. I.o.w. if your little embryo genes fire "make a vagina!" there has to be an appropriate amount of estrogen flowing in the womb to make a proper 'girl baby' .
So apparently in the case of an FTM there will be a masculine/ testosterone type hormonal shower and in the process the brain develops as male.
?????? Ya?
I really like this theory because it would explain why I started feeling dissociated when my puberty started and how I then suddenly clicked back into feeling part of this world six weeks into using testosterone. (It took six weeks to get me on male T levels)
Ok tell me tell me what y'all know and what you think of this theory.
Thanks
