Not if taken as medically directed, but they play around with their doses.

Yup, they play around with their doses for two reasons: to try to more closely mimic the female menstrual cycle, and to keep their testosterone-driven male sex drives, erections and ability to "nut" like the men they are.

Oh, I see. So they might well have mood swings from hormone fluctuations. Once again, the experience of wanting to be female and trying to be female and medically simulating femaleness is necessarily different to the experience of being female. Also, it must be a strange kind of dysphoria when you still want to maintain your favourite male functions.
