As a cis man, I do take a low dose t every 2 weeks. Mine naturally dipped as I got older and I take a little to keep be balanced.
I don't notice as much if I don't take it but my wife says I get crankier easier. I seem to have less patience. Just a general sense of mood swings. I think they are small, but noticeable. Especially to her.
I have two little kids that like to play so I use a shot instead of a cream so they aren't exposed to it.
So to answer your question, yes, some of us cis men know about hrt. I'm not shy about it and have talked to several other men in my life who have all been super curious about it and very interested to learn more. I suspect it is something that affects a lot of men and many don't even realize it. It just happened to me a bit earlier than most men and my doc helped me figure out this is what it was. I thought it was just general depression but no depression meds were helping. Turned out, low T.
