It's a factor, but not the whole story. Social norms also influence things a whole lot.

I clearly remember the last time I had a full on breakdown emotional cry. It was when I was 17, and it suddenly became apparent to me that I never actually had an imaginary friend. I just pretended I did because I felt like that would make me special.

Needless to say, I was high off my ass when I came to that realization, but it was still devastating.

In all of the years since then, I may have, like, had a tear or two, or like a tiny little sob, but actually getting to that point where I could break down and cry and pour out all of those emotions that I'm sitting on, it feels like I have about the same chances as winning the lottery.

Let us know if you give AAs and E a shot to see how it affects you. Honestly, would be interesting to see how cis people react to a double-blinded trial like that, both directions. Obvious problem with that being cis people not want the effects. E at least is pretty slow with long-term physical changes, but T seems to have some pretty fast acting affects from my understanding.

As a fisher male I never cry when angry or sad, but I cry a lot on tender films where people either recognise sacrifice or sacrifice themselves. You know, the tearjerkers. So, no problem with tears, they just don't come out with anger or sadness.
