I've heard that people were only able to get their Ph.Ds because they've went on HRT and I've never heard of anyone being unable to academia after HRT. I'm worried the mood swings might affect my motivation/ability to cram but both were pretty shit anyway. I think you're worrying too much OP. Are you really not going to bother with HRT even if by some small chance it made studying harder?

It improved my mood a lot overall, they work as an antidepressant. They do make you much more moody and emotional though. It won't fuck up your studies.

antiandrogens make it much easier for me to study and work

estrogen does change my mood a lot but it doesn't affect my productivity or even my ability to network

you should try it

Anecdotally, I'm less likely to cram and more positioned to study over longer periods, I get better sleep (no more night-owling which can be a problem) and my writing has improved.
Although, as I'm not out my dysphoria gets really bad when I don't crossdress at least once a day
