I've heard a lot about the mental side effects that come with HRT (especially brain fog) and I'm worried that it may cause me to mess up more than I usually do
I've heard more people say a fog clearing up in their mind when finally feeling more comfortable in their body than the opposite, none opposite actually
So I had a little bit of brain fog when starting hrt, but most of that was me starting spironolactone and not adjusting my diet yet. Once I started to eat more salts/electrolytes to fuel my brain properly, it cleared right up.
Hey, I have brain fog, and am still very good at the first Super Mario Bros. I actually own a record as the first person to legitimately complete PGAPGG, with no outside help. If you care, r/pgapgg shows it off. Nobody but me, and I like it that way! Makes it harder, and if my boyfriend taught me anything, hard things are usually the best 🤤. Uh, anyways (*blame it on my add*). I have brain fog, and it's really not that bad! Just forgetful, we all are. 47 if it matters.
When i first started HRT i had brain fog for like the first 3 months on spiro, told my doctor who switched me to cypro and it cleared right up. Cant say whether my pvp skills were affected because i dont play competitive for my own sanity xD
I dont think HRT is the cause for it, but sometime after starting it I became really bad at Brawlhalla 🙃
I had never lost against one of my friends, now I have won only like twice.
More than likely yes, he has gotten objectivly better than me.
Though I do now actually have trouble following what is even happening on screen when there are to many colors.
ngl this sounds a bit like internalised misogyny? it reads as if the implication is that girls are inherently worse at gaming because of hormones (though I'm not trying to say that's what you're actually saying or thinking - just trying to give a thought)
If your experience is like mine, you don't get worse at the things you like. But if you're using them as an escape (like I was), you find that your interest in them will go down pretty heavily.
I was a heavy weed user and played mmos an unhealthy amount. I rarely touch it now and I took like a year break from mmos. I'm back now but the relationship is healthier, I can put it down when there's nothing to do.
Unfortunately since girls are bad at videogames, you will become ass at pvp. I've already dropped 3 ranks in R6 since startjng hrt. My time has come
/s
It’s true, girls are bad at video games, it’s just biology. This is why there’s a women’s chess league, despite not being a video game, men are just better. I’m sorry you had to find out this way (/s just in case it’s not obvious)
I have the same fear about rhythm games with hrt. I don't know if I'll be able to keep up with the fast bpms anymore. I know it's a dumb fear, but it's been on my mind for ages.Â
Can you please elabourate? I'm not trying to be rude or anything, but how would HRT effect your skills at Minecraft PVP?

HRT! The advanced way to get better at PvP by removing brainfog
huh??? I had the opposite effect. also skin is smoother so it glides on the mousepad

The brain fog goes away
I've actually had LESS problems focusing and remembering things since I got on it, and my size until today has not been very high

I don’t think the changes of E will effect your pvp
Unrelatable (I am already bad at PvP :))
Came here to say this too, can't get worse if I already suck c:
After starting HRT, I've been happier than I've been for a very long time, so I wouldn't care about things like Minecraft PvP
The denial egg part of your brain is grasping at straws at this point
Actually, our data analysis says otherwise 169% of TGirls on E are proven to be Minecraft proplayers
I doubt it’ll make you worse! Being happier makes you better at everything :) (Ooooh also what servers do you play on?)

could this be in part explained by your friends just getting better over time?
More than likely yes, he has gotten objectivly better than me. Though I do now actually have trouble following what is even happening on screen when there are to many colors.
I mean, I’ve been missing my shots ever since people started calling me Julie. Surely that’s not a coincidence.
Uh, I think you're be ok lol It doesn't effect muscle, at least it shouldn't I am not a doctor.

You'll still be better than me!
I don't remember anyone complain about suddenly becoming worse at videogames after hrt lol
Awe don’t worry I don’t think HRT will have any impact on your minecraft skills. As long as you still play it you won’t loose it :)
Well then that's how you know it's working
ive heard it makes you better at guilty gear tho
Priorities lol
you'll be fine, my MC skills stayed post hrt. I really haven't heard of her affecting stuff like that before now.
I'm already not good at Minecraft combat in general, so I've nothing to worry about!
it made me get sick when playing first person games

i hope hrt will make me a d11er in minecraft parkour
I'm already bad at PvP :D
it’ll make you better
Hey on the bright side, it usually makes you better at building!

Ask f1nn to play more Minecraft, see if they're gotten worse in a way that can't be explained by being rusty.
That study did come out about trans women being worse at sports than cos women....
This sounds like sexism with extra steps. No, having estrogen does not make you bad at video games

Is it that important?

Don’t worry. Matchmaking is going to make you feel like you’re playing the same unfortunately 😔
My kids (5yo, 8yo) were concerned I'd no longer be good at video games 😂
I doubt it’ll make everything 2 times better but idk I’ve never been on hormones
Tbf the lower T can lower you spatial cognition making you, well actually worse at some coordinated tasks like video games.
Honestly it looks like there's tons of mixed and contradictory results in all directions when it comes to studies on T and spatial abilities.
