Advice needed

Hello everyone. I’m looking for any advice you guys may have for me. My boyfriend is trans and has been on testosterone for nearly seven months now. Since he got on testosterone his temper and mood swings have only gotten worse. He didn’t do much research before going on t, he jumped into it head first. Because of this his anger has become something I am scared of. I never know what version of him I’ll get.

Sometimes he screams, cries, instigates fights. I don’t know what to do. I’ve given him patience but also held him responsible for these things. I’ve tried to be understanding because I know this is a hard change. But he told me now he’s only blaming the testosterone. He’s not taking any accountability for his actions.

I don’t know how I feel about this. I don’t wanna be rude. But I’ve heard this from him everytime we fight and it doesn’t mean much to me now. It just feels like an excuse. I just want him to take accountability. I’ve offered up therapy to help him manage the anger. But it’ll only work if he wants it.

Any advice at all?
