I recall a show many years ago where there took about half a dozen people to a bar and told them they would be observed for the effects of alcohol. As the beers flowed, their behavior changed as expected under the influence of alcohol. Then it was revealed that the beer was non-alcoholic. I guess your anecdata makes me ask the question of whether the trans guys you know felt that way b/c of the change of hormone ratios or because they were impacted by the same social expectations of how guys are supposed to feel and act.

After we'd helped the poor guy into a taxi the news broke. What he didn't know was that the bar had a policy of one beer per id card, so the guy how'd ended up buying for him had gotten alcohol-free beer for our underage mate in addition to the real beer for himself, not telling our classmate of course. For the rest of that year he was known as Claus[1]... [1]: https://www.clausthaler.com/ https://www.clausthaler.com/
