Exploring: "I Was An Angry Man Before Transitioning"

Dr. Z shares the correlation between trans women prior to starting gender transition and anger issues. That's right, anger issues.

There is quite a misconception about why trans women (some—it's not a correlation across the board, not for everybody) struggle with anger issues, and once they start gender transition, guess what? Anger issues miraculously go away. Why is that? There's a very big misconception.

Testosterone does not cause anger issues—there's no causality that testosterone leads to people being angry. Yes, testosterone is a reactive hormone, so in other words, it's a hormone that's much more susceptible to reactiveness. But there's a difference between reactiveness and anger.

Watch this video as Dr. Z addresses why anger actually arises as a behavior in response to not having the capacity to tolerate whatever situation, and why addressing your core issue increases your tolerance.
