MODERATORS
I wanna start by saying I am not trans, so please, if my comment is offensive or insensitive, let me know and I'll delete it.
I was thinking about the temperature effect you described. While I have no other point of reference, I can tell you that with higher temperatures (may it be weather related or just cozy warm clothes) I tend to feel more femme too. This sensation lessens when I feel cold, sometimes vanishes completely. I'm assuming it's tied to the hormones, but I don't know.
In any event, I hope someone with more experience can answer your question better.
No offense taken, but now I'm really curious as to what's going on, if even cis people can feel this effect.
Wild speculation incoming: I think, especially with estrogen, your sensitivity to temperature becomes stronger. Feet and hands get cold faster and, if you have it, libido is tied to temperature too. Depending on how warm I feel, my libido changes too. Warm means high, cold means low. Maybe it has something to do with that?
A quick Google search finds that there is ongoing research into the interrelatedness of estrogen and body temperature regulation, which would explain why menopause causes "hot flashes." So there is a definite link there, but the details of how it works are not currently well established, it seems.
