(I'm also a transgender woman.) It seems like different kinds of pain affect me differently. Stubbing my toes or getting slapped has never been painful to me, but I've had messed up hormone levels all my life. This seem to have stayed the same. The pains from doing exercises really lowered. Muscle cramps after going to the gyms are much more easier to ignore. However I've noticed that since my main hormone is estrogen other kinds of pain are really painful. Cold hurts a lot, to the point where I had to change my winter wardrobe. I've also noticed that the pain that comes from laser hair removal also increased but that may be due to the skin getting thinner and more sensitive. There's definitively more of an emotional weight to pain now. Stubbing my toes will make me very angry, tripping might make me sad, etc. Before my transition, it was all the same annoying dull emotion of "ow, I'm in pain". Sometimes, I carry the emotional pain a bit longer than the physical pain. Reliving that same emotion later can bring back the physical pain. Hormones are fun!
