Provisional judgement is YES from me, but I want to test on more things before I conclude. I have tried
Dill pickles (5/10 -> neutral)
Spicy Dill pickles (7/10, but too spicy)
Olives, stuffed (3 or 4/10, still no)
Overall, my tolerance for pickled goods is very increased. Even when I still don't like them, I no longer HATE them. Each of the items listed are up at least 1 of 10 from before starting estradiol + spiro
@DrP Your comment has been removed as it was deemed inappropriate and written with malicious intent based on your previous activity. We will not tolerate such behaviour. This is your final warning. Any subesquent infractions will result in either a temporary or permanent ban.
Also, please resolve this market asap: https://manifold.markets/DrP/will-donald-j-trump-be-the-presiden
@ManifoldMarkets I have legitimate reason not to resolve that market yet as I have received recent and substantial evidence that there is too much ambiguity to do so. There should be clarity soon and for those concerned whether I will resolve it in a timely and accurate matter still have access to the derivative market.
@extent_of_foxes I find out the first one later today. I don't currently like pickled anything with a few exceptions (onions, bread and butter pickles, sauerkraut)
@extent_of_foxes I will be taking Spiro, and I do count that as in the scope of this question
@LivInTheLookingGlass thanks for the answer (and I hope you like your endocrinologist). How narrowly are you defining pickles? Do olives count?
Today I learned transitioning makes you lose sodium and crave salty stuff

@XidaRen I think you’re thinking of spironolactone which is taken as an anti-androgen. It’s not necessarily required especially in the long run. Depends on your HRT regimen.
