“This is a personal essay by Dr. Jaime Hoerricks, describing their experience with hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and its surprising effects on their cognitive abilities and creative expression. Dr. Hoerricks details how HRT has dramatically enhanced their writing, leading to a more spontaneous and fluent style, as well as expanded their creative range to include poetry and flash fiction. They also discuss the impact of HRT on their communication, making it more confident and open, and the newfound cognitive clarity that allows them to handle complex tasks with greater ease. Hoerricks concludes by reflecting on the lack of research into HRT's effects on cognitive function and suggesting that further study could provide invaluable insights for other trans individuals navigating similar journeys.”
In this episode, it’s funny (peculiar) how NotebookLM interpreted the source article, and hallucinated some of the information based upon external information. For example, nowhere in the article do I mention using peppermint oil and steel wool. It’s also funny how many times it gets the pronunciation of my name incorrect. I think this episode set a new record.
Here’s the source article: https://open.substack.com/pub/autside/p/finding-my-voice-hrts-surprising
