Many FtMs anecdotally mention they lose the ability to cry on HRT.Pretty sure it's just easier for women to cry. As a man I find it very difficult to cry even when I want to do so; and I very much doubt I have much of an subconscious block on crying based on my other aberrant behavior.
From what I have seen, the key is that women cry for different reasons, or for more reasons, than men do. For example, many women do something they call "have a good cry", which isn't actually being sad, but more feeling frustrated or overwhelmed. They will sit down and cry briefly, and it will make them feel better after it passes. I've seen lots of FtMs say they "lost" the ability to do this and some "miss it". (I've never heard of a man doing this.)
Some FtMs also mention "the crying feeling" where they recognize they're feeling the emotion that would have made them cry off HRT, but the tears literally don't happen.
Probably hit or miss on the individual; arguably most pooners are super femme anyway so perhaps the HRT doesn't affect them as much in this way.
