T as in testosterone?

No, it’s Earl Grey

Maybe it’s ‘tea’. Their internal monologue has a British accent.

No, ‘T’ as in ‘Tic-Tacs’.

Explanation?

“T” is testosterone, the male sex hormone. It’s commonly taken by transgender people transitioning to male. Testosterone causes many of the bodily changes associated with male puberty, such as the growth of body hair and muscles. Unrelated to its medical use, it’s also taken by biological males as a performance-enhancing steroid and is on the World Anti-Doping Agency’s list of banned substances.
Anon is saying that after they started taking testosterone, they developed an “internal monologue”. Most people already have this; it’s the sound of your thoughts, such as when you lick and ice cream and think to yourself “wow, this tastes pretty good”. Some people do not have internal monologue. I do not know the medical reason for this.
Anon is expressing confusion as to why taking testosterone caused them to develop an internal monologue when they previously didn’t have one.

What’s the difference between an internal monologue and just thoughts?

Its so weird to me that some people have internal monologues and some don’t. My internal monologue has been the baseline of my existence since I can remember being alive. I cannot fathom what it’s like to not have one.

Mine’s so loud that people have to shout over it to get my attention.

When they read or write, they aren’t voicing it their head? How? Or I really don’t understand the subject
(now I remember the trick to read faster by just scanning the sentences)

It’s like quick flashes of realisation, of idea acknowledgment, without any verbal dub.

I have both. It switches depending on context and activities. For me it’s just two very different brain modes that serve different purposes. In social situations (+for a time afterwards) I usually have it for example. But if I am doing more creative stuff it’s nearly never there.

Mine mostly consists of my parents scolding me, and me trying to comfort my inner child, i could do without it
