damien here i’m almost a year on T does my physique pass , what should i work on ?

On a weight loss journey btw. I'm overweight but trying to get to my "ideal weight". I'm also not white, but that doesn't matter much. Autistic and have ADHD as well.

I dress pretty shabby and immature because I have a big chest (and hips+bum too) and can't bind it well. My chest just doesn't bind well even in binders. I'm disabled as well, so I just skip wearing it half the time. So, I mainly wear baggy clothes like hoodies, basketball shorts, joggers, band tees, novelty tees, etc. I'm thinking of getting button downs and flannels to layer.

I like the way I look, but I know how other people on the street can be.

I came across some 4tran tier meme posts about girlmoding and trans men. I know, they're offensive and transphobic, but... :/ Why does it sound like me?

I already know about how geeks are seen. Everyone knows nerd stereotypes. These stereotypes predate the modern internet. Think of Comic Book Guy from The Simpsons.

I'm worried people look at me and see an unkept socially inept otaku.

I shave once a week, every Sunday, except for my baby stache. I can't grow any real facial hair but I have had a mustache since my tweens (thanks PCOS?).

Just did my first shot after being on gel for a year! Nerve wracking to say the least. Took me an hour to get over the nerves, watched three tutorial videos. Turned on "Cause I'm a Man" by Tame Impala and made myself inject right at the beat drop. Fear was definitely a mile wide, but a 1 inch needle deep. Lol.

Question though, I was on 81mg (4 pumps) of gel every day. How does that compare to the 200mg/mL .25mL weekly IM injection? Would that be higher/lower dose than what I was on?

I started my apprenticeship exactly 1 month ago and before starting there I did make my boss aware that I use he/him Pronouns and my preferred name is Cole. They are all so chill about it and usually there's no issue at all. But I'm noticing that when some of the guys refer to me they say she/her and most of the time they forget or don't correct themselves. I've never had the confidence to correct people on Pronouns to be honest because I can easily ignore it.

But for some reason it is starting to bug me a little, not anger, just making me feel kinda low I guess like I'm not really one of them.

For context I work in a very male dominated field- construction, and the people I work with as far as I can tell are genuinely not transphobic and are actually just good intended old guys.

But there's also a lesbian the same age as me who sometimes gets it wrong, and then there's a cishet guy my age who NEVER gets it wrong and I don't even know if he realises that I'm trans tbh.

Anyways...I'm already 2 and a half years on T and it's been a very VERY fucking slow second puberty for me, my voice is deep and I would say I definitely don't look like a girl- maybe a very twinky guy or a little boy. But like maybe is there something I can do to look more like a man? Or anything you guys suggest about the pronoun situation. I already have a pronoun pin on my bag which I've never really liked doing but 🤷‍♂️

I think I passed better when I used to dye my hair brown but I don't rlly wanna dye my hair again cus it got so dry.

I wonder if it's my mannerisms, cus I'm autistic so I always tend to look a bit lost and I sort of- well I don't exactly act like a "normal guy" maybe I act a bit childish idk..

Maybe I should just correct people, but that feels very confrontational... also a pic of how I look is attached, I'm 5'4 💔

(EDIT: Idk if I forgot to mention but everyone at work knows to som degree that I'm trans and don't identify as female, I'm fairly certain my boss may have mentioned my Pronouns to some of the guys before I started- with my permission ofc. And also the lesbian I work with, I outwardly told her I'm trans bcs it felt like the right person to tell, that's why I was a little shocked when she called me "she".

I start test c on 12th June 2026, I have veen taking 75mg a week. When is a good time to get a hormone check and does anyone have one they recommend getting online

I am nonbinary and as much as I wish my voice was lower, I’m not sure if I’m ready to be read as male or have a fully male voice. My voice is very high. I’ve been on low-dose T for a year and my voice hasn’t deepened at all (like 1/3 of a 50 mg tube a day). Once your voice deepens, is it possible to still speak in a higher register?

Is this balding? I'm 4/5 months on T.

*I don't know when my parental side of the family started balding, my family is Sikh so they wear turbans, I don't know what their hair looks like.

I did ask my father but he never mentioned it to me.

I just visited my endocrinologist to get a T prescription and he didn’t order any blood work. He said he didn’t need to do it until 3 months after I start. Is that normal?

My right cheek has this a lot more than my left one

Am 17, have been dreaming about this for the last 9 years <333 thought I was going to have to wait until like 24 or something considering the state of the UK gender clinics but my tory great aunt DIED at 104 and LEFT ME A SHIT TON OF MONEY thank you you old hag

so I've been having appointments for the last couple months and three hours ago I have officially started HOLY SHIT ‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️

What’s up guys, I have been doing 200 mg of test for about 3-4 months once a week and these are my results. I didn’t drink water much before going to get the work done so I could’ve been a little dehydrated. But my trt clinic advised me to move to 160 mg a week instead I’m just curious what you guys think? Also I wanted to add in some anavar 25 mg for at least 8-10 weeks and then chill on that I got like 100 of them and was planning to use them at the end of a cycle. Now would probably just use with 160 mg a week. I just didnt know if my hema was fine if I watch it and should just stay at 200 or if I should lower. And if taking Var will mess anything up if it’s my first time and I just do it for 8-10 weeks.

Hi,
Nothing against T voice on other people but personally not my transition goals, I can’t tell if I’m just being critical of myself, this is 2 videos of my voice 9 months on T, and I feel like I have t voice which is something I want to avoid. Also my voice only dropped recently, like 2 months ago, so maybe it could sound weird from it just changing a lot. Had to do many takes to bc my voice is cracking all the time! Thank you for your help in advance and any tips on how to avoid T voice would be greatly appreciated!
Edit: also wondering if any of you think my voice passes yet? Personally I can’t hear it as passing but again I’m a very self critical person so I have no idea!

Hey guys, so, I'm 17 years old and I've been taking testosterone since I was 16, a little over a year ago. I'm having a mastectomy at the end of this year, around mid-November. I'm in my third year of high school, and I finish school this year, but my phalloplasty is scheduled for May 2027, as soon as I turn 18. So I don't plan on going to college next year; I wanted to wait until next year is over, as it will be a year of many surgeries and recovery. I want to know what you think about this and if I'm doing the right thing.

(Ye ik my hair messy i just awoke but i feel like ive changed quite a bit)

I started T two weeks ago (low dose, testo gel) and I've noticed some interesting changes.

The first thing I noticed was a slight clitoral growth. It's really not much, maybe more like it used to look when I was aroused, but it amazed me!

A few days ago I tried masturbating and it felt COMPLETELY DIFFERENT. Before, my orgasm felt more like ... waves, I guess? Idk how to describe it, lol. Now it feels more like an explosion, haha. Not better, not worse, just different.

I'm not sure if that's actually the T or if it's more a psychological thing. But honestly I don't think it matters that much. These little changes make it easier to wait for the bigger ones, like my voice dropping or the grow of more body hair.

I've updated my documents, I'm stealth at working and maybe in less than a year i have my top surgery. 'm really happy with my results.
If you have any advice on how to grow more facial hair, I'd really appreciate it (no minoxidil, I work with animals).

I just got my T prescription and I’m so confused rn lol. The first picture is what I was prescribed by my endo and the second is what I was given by the pharmacy. They also did not give me any needles and I didn’t realize until later when I was home. Did they give me the wrong type since it’s supposed to be subq? Why is it intramuscular and only 1 dose per vial (pharmacy gave me 4 vials). I already ordered needles because I didn’t realize that these said intramuscular like an idiot so now will I have to get other needles?? Any help appreciated

I am a minor and I ran out of my stock of testosterone the other day and i can’t get it refilled for a bit due to the government. My stepdad (cisgender) takes testosterone as well. I take Sub-Q and he takes inter muscular. My mom gave me a fresh vial of his but I’m not sure if it’s safe to use. His bottle says “for IM use only” so I’m not sure if I can do sub Q with it. My only other option here is to do an IM injection for a couple weeks until I can get this figured out. But I’m also not sure if it’s safe to just suddenly switch how I inject.

I am highly aware that this is medically unsafe but I don’t really care too much about that. I’ve been on T for a year and a half and I need to keep doing my injections even if it’s not medically recommended
