Re: any of you only into TS, mtf or FTM?
The little that you posted is also vague. I don't doubt that hormones have downstream effects on emotions. But emotions are manifested because certain parts of the brain, such as the amygdala, and other limbic system structures are activated. Hormones exert their effects because they have targets to bind to. I doubt that if you lacked a brain, your hormones would influence your emotional state very much.
I am not going to follow a bunch of pubmed links. Why don't you read them and make them part of what you post instead of just annexing them with a link?

Re: any of you only into TS, mtf or FTM?
The limbic system is a set of evolutionarily primitive brain structures located on top of the brainstem and buried under the cortex . Limbic system structures are involved in many of our emotions and motivations, particularly those that are related to survival. Such emotions include fear, anger, and emotions related to sexual behaviour. Hormones control how the limbic system will work. Hormones affect What regions will be In use when a person experiences fear or anger.
Without a brain you're dead
It take me hours to read them all again and I'd end up writing paragraphs I don't have time for that. The first page in the link covers how ts have intersexed regions in there brain

Re: any of you only into TS, mtf or FTM?
You can have autonomic function though and not have an active limbic system. How do you think people survive when they are on a respirator?
When you said there were differences in brain structure but not emotional differences you had no clue whether the neurological differences were in the limbic system. Based on those articles you still have no clue whether there are differences in limbic system structures between cisgender males and mtf transsexuals. There might be, in which case you would not be able to say what you said.
Anyhow, my only point is that the generalities and the glibness were a bit irritation. I've got to go.

"Transoriented" or "trans-attracted"
I'm mostly attracted to TG women. Don't see it as someone who has "changed" genders. I like their energy regardless of what they physically look like. Clothes and self-presentation/behavior are what attract me.

Re: any of you only into TS, mtf or FTM?
In the limbic system The only difference between ts and cis male is in the hypothalamus which controls body temperature, thirst, hunger, sleep, circadian rhythm, and sex drive. This is the only part that resembles female more than male. Also the amount of neurons in the limbic system is closer to female other than that there's no difference
