Hormones

Androgyny and hormones...a whole set of experiences that I'm not sure that anyone but an androgyne can truly understand.
 
It's "that" time of month (sorry if that's too much information - promise I'll stop right there!) and my hormones have been going bonkers. Being anatomically female, I do get the fun of once-a-month hormones gone haywire. But with the male element thrown into the mix, it turns it into something completely different than I think it probably is for someone who is fully female.
 
I get often get depressed at my time of month. But I don't get weepy, I don't get the urge to watch soppy movies or listen to love songs or anything like that. No, I become hateful and critical of everything. I'd rather be by myself and brood until I get the chance to beat the crap out of something. (Thank goodness for games like Second Life where I can do that without hurting anyone!) It feels more like an overdose of testosterone than a female hormone.
 
I know, some women become Queen "B" when Aunt Flo's on her way. But do they get the urge to blow stuff up or beat things to a pulp? I really don't know, I don't think I've ever had a "normal" case of PMS.
 
Anyone who would like to weigh in and tell me what non-androgyne women experience, I'd love to hear it in a comment.
