I’ve heard numerous times that transitioning makes you more susceptible to the cold, and while I do feel colder when I’m cold, it still takes alot for me to actually get cold.
I think my natural body temperature is still pretty high and I can still last for a good long while without any coat or jacket.
How have you found your heat tolerance to be? I’ve been really susceptible to heat for some time now and I’ve honestly been looking at this as a potential health benefit for HRT for me.
Honestly haven’t been able to tell much of a difference, though part of that is due to a change in work environment to one that has AC. I changed too many variables at once to give an objective reading, but I think it’s a little better?
After almost 2 years, im still just as intolerant of heat as I ever was, but now I get cold way easier. So my comfortable range is narrower
Do you get heat injuries easily?
No? Idk, im not sure what constitutes a heat injury. I get confused and exhausted in the heat (~30c is about where that starts, anything above ~25c is uncomfortable), but idk if thats a heat injury?
