I am a cis-gendered man, and let me tell you about facial hair. I couldn't grow a beard well into my 20s. Until my early 30s, I didn't need to shave more than once a week, and I didn't need to shave daily until my mid-40s. Even now, around my mouth, one side of my beard is narrower/thinner in one spot than the same place on the other side of my face. So yeah, as Aydian says, every man [cis or trans] is different when it comes to body-hair and how much will grow how fast. [Though keep this in mind: If you start growing more body hair as you age, in places you never expected, don't be shocked. This is something that cis-men learn/hear/are told to expect as the decades pass. No clue if this is a testosterone thing or a y-chromosome thing. Ask middle-aged transguys for advice on this one. ]

My experience with testosterone was quite interesting in that I WAS a very angry person pre-t but now I'll be 3 years on hormones this year and I can honestly say I have really calmed down more instead of being angry and it's because I am finally starting to feel align with myself so I am more comfortable with myself and a lot happier. All of my friends and family see the change in me as well.

If I'm truly honest, I was a very unhappy and angry person prior to transition. Looking back, I think it was mostly due to feeling so unhappy in my body, and for not being seen for who I truly was. This year marks 6 years on T for me, and I'm a very peaceful and relaxed person!

I'm pre-T and had anger issues all my life... Literally out of the blue or over small things. I cried in every 10 minutes when I was a kid. I'm currently extremely suicidal due to intense dysphoria, I just can't function anymore. I could go on T in half a year but I doubt I'll survive until that.

Good vid. I’ve been on T 2 1/2 years, starting in (gasp) my sixties. For the first time in decades I had acne breakouts especially on my scalp and forehead. The problem with my scalp is that I also work at a labor intensive job so my scalp is oily by the end of my shift. Thus the scalp acne. On the plus side, with lifting many dishes all day, my upper arms and chest have added a nice bonus of muscle growth, visible without rolling up my sleeves to show it off💪🏻.

It's been really interesting with my experience on testosterone. I was really emotionally unstable before it because I have bipolar disorder and bad anxiety, and a few other psychiatric issues. I had trouble controlling my anger and I was always getting so easily upset over everything. After being on T for almost 6 months now, I'm so calm. I feel more emotionally leveled out, I handle my anger and emotions much better in general, and I've had less manic/depressive episodes than I have since my diagnosis of bipolar disorder. I have HORRIBLE social anxiety and it has made me a hermit a lot of my life, and even though it's still there, I feel like I can work past it in ways I couldn't make myself do before. My psychiatrist was pleasantly surprised at how much T has stabilized me. As for the other stuff in the video, I'm SUPER hairy. Like, I can grow a decent goatee and mustache. Everything else is still peach fuzz on my face. As for acne, I had it really bad on my forehead as a teen, but I actually haven't had a problem with acne on T so far. I already have naturally very oily skin on my face though, so maybe that has something to do with it. An interesting thing that not many trans videos cover though, is the rise in red blood cell count. My psych didn't know what it was until my doctor said they seemed high because it was a normal range for a male, and I was still marked as female for the testing. It's been determined that they're high, but in the safe normal range still. Generally though, T has probably saved my life. Now I just have to get my insurance company to stop fighting me about top surgery.

Shane Blackheart finally!!! Someone else who has experienced a calm while on T! Thank you thank you thank you!!! I live with Bipolar, social anxiety, ptsd, and depression. I was really nervous about starting T. The difference in my emotional stability occurred the first week. Everything that used to amp me up, (anger and depression wise) no longer does. I get mad. I get sad. But it's way calmer. The intensity has decreased dramatically. I can handle crowds a little better. My kids have, happily, noticed the difference. It's an incredible experience. But, everyone I've talked to seems shocked that it calms me... So, I was starting to feel a bit isolated in my experience. It feels good to know I'm not alone.

Thank you for doing this video. It's nice to know that what I'm going through is considered normal. I was just telling a fellow commenter that I live with Bipolar, social anxiety, ptsd, and depression. My emotions have always been felt at a heightened level. Not ideal for me. Lol... I started T almost a month ago. The intensity of my emotions calmed down the first week. My kids were the first to notice it. It does make me want to cry because I've never felt emotions on a even keel before. I've been in and out of counseling most of my life (I highly recommend it). Each one teaching me new skills while others helped refine them. It's nice to feel like my emotions are under control....... As for the acne. Omg.. I laugh when I look in the mirror. My breakout is all along my jawline. I'll look into dollar shave. I'm trying to find a regime that will work that I'm not allergic to. 😁

My personal experience on T after getting my hysto/ooph is that I actually calmed down after my hormones were balanced out a bit better!! I was kinda HOPING to become the Hulk lol...Oh well, back to my beer belly look I guess! For acne, I got it EVERYWHERE. Face, top of head hair, belly, back, arms, butt, and even in my groin OUCH. But the acne is part of hair growth getting thicker too, I'm still getting "hair pimples" and I've been on T for 3 years now. And bottom growth: pre-T I was so small I, or my partner, could barely find it. I'm at a happy 3cm now and we both can find it now :-D I have a LOT of info on KEEPING IT CLEAN DOWN THERE!!! HUGE SUBJECT to let all of my FTM guys know about, hoods or "foreskin" if you prefer to call it that, can get stuck to your growth, hindering growth of it or needing medical intervention because of infection if you don't keep it clean down there guys! Please keep that in mind! :)

Regarding hair loss, some of the commercially available home DNA tests, like Ancestry or 23 and Me, have a traits feature that you can pay for to show you, among other things, your genetic risk for male pattern baldness. I'm non-binary and taking a lower dose of T, but I'm at high genetic risk for male pattern baldness, so it's one of the things I'm keeping an eye on with regard to working with my endocrinologist on my dosage to balance what I need to help masculinize my voice and appearance vs not wanting to lose a lot of the hair on my head like the men in my mother's family have all done. Conversely, I'm naturally hirsute when it comes to facial hair, chest hair, and other body hair, and I was already shaving my face almost daily for a good two decades before I started T, so I'm also trying to balance that out and not become a total bear with hair everywhere while still needing some of the other changes T provides.

My hair is the same way! I've been on T for a few years now, your hair might thin out or get more oily, but hair loss hasn't been an issue for me. FYI, when it thins out, be very careful what soaps you buy, at least until it evens out. Also, if you notice you're "shedding," particularly when showering, it can also be stress-related. I just noticed this post was years ago, but I hope this can help!

so I'm a little over 4 weeks on T and I have lost a lot of inches; HOWEVER, previously I was on depovera to stop periods before I ever got on T. On this medication, I gained 15 pounds. I tried to be really strict with myself for 6 months on depo, but to no avail; So then I just gave up trying and wasn't as active or health conscious in foods. (also what I was doing made me lethargic, starving all the time, and increased my chronic pain). When I got on T, (even right before, like 3 days before) I saw this as another opportunity to try to get into shape again. After all, I'm not on depo anymore and T can either help you lose weight more easily or you can gain just as easily. (At least, that's what I've heard). I also knew about the "T hunger" and I didn't want to have junkfood around and be eating 10,000 cals in one sitting. So, I got rid of junkfood and built up to walking 2 miles a day again. I've been eating healthy and being active; By the 4th week I've noticed that I lost a lot of inches, and I am now *almost* the size I was before depo. I do think T played a part, it has let me get a bit stronger and have more energy and endurance. But I also think the consistency and work I've put in helped as well. And not being on that damn med. All this is to say, you can lose weight on T if you have a bit of extra weight before hand, if you work at it. But this is the very beginning for me so I could gain some weight back.

I’m 6 months on t and I think my stomach has gotten a little bigger. It was never completely flat pre t but now it’s definitely bigger. Also I gained like 15 pounds. I’m 5’2 and weigh like 130 pounds. And I’m not fat. I’m actually pretty skinny except in my stomach area. I’m so confused where this weight has gone but I’m glad to hear that my stomach might not b like this forever.

I am so terrified of starting transition. I hate being f. But with a catholic family, I know it will cause major issues. But I am sick of doing a double take every time I see myself in a mirror or hear a recording of my voice. This body is just not me. But I am a coward, and I worry I will feel sick or it will all go horribly wrong or like I said, my catholic family will hate me. Fml

With bottom growth for anyone you've talked to when they got off T did their growth go down in any amount a question I have personally for myself because this side affect is the one thing I've been struggling to get information on for awhile now to assure myself I'm not considering T thru peer pressure and it's soully for myself feedback would be amazing thank you

Uhhh this video makes me feel like my T levels are already naturally high for a Pre-T female, which is incredibly possible. I already deal with half this shit. As for weight gain...good, because I actually want to work out and bulk up, build mass. I'm more fearful of being too thin than gaining weight.

I don't really want a beard because I have sensory issues, and I don't wanna lose my hair either. But, I hopefully have a pretty good chance, because my dad hasn't had any receding hair and grandpa haven't grayed much either. My grandpa's hair has always been thin, while my dad's hair is really thick, and I have thicker hair than him. (The strands are thick and I have a lot of hair) My mom's adopted though, so idk what it looks like on her side. But I'm keeping my fingers crossed

Aydian, I have some questions about my dosage and my levels. My doctor isn’t really open and doesn’t discuss much with my and I don’t really have anyone to talk to about it. Since you have had years of experience, I was wondering if I could get your input. I don’t have social media so if you would be open to having a discussion, I’d be glad to give you my email address. Please let me know! By the way...I’m new to your channel and it’s great! A lot of great stuff on there!

I'm a trans man who has been on testosterone for 15 years. The commentary on anger is not good advice. If you have enough anger pre T to punch a wall, your emotions are un/disregulated. You need support to help get regulated. This doesn't mean you shouldn't take T! It just means you need to try and find people who can help you express your anger in healthy ways. If you think you are an angry person and are pre T, consider going to FTM support groups to talk about it, find a therapist, or get free or cheap therapy from someone in therapy school. Dont just gamble on T making you more chill!

I was expecting to get lucky to get 1CM, my partner and I are perfectly fine with a "micro" little man down there, so if I could get even 2, that would be incredible, let alone 3CM. I'm curious about the bottom growth change, and the facial hair growth, mostly. If I get acne I'll talk to my trans doctor who said they can help me treat it, but I'm doing gel not injections so I'm curious how that will impact how much/where I get acne. I never got acne while growing up so maybe I'll finally feel like I went through a puberty since I apparently missed mine. XD

When I started T, I also went off of birth control. I was also already obese, so I ended up losing roughly 8lbs. If youre on bc, you'll mostly lose weight when you go off because it makes you retain water weight

You said it makes the things you feel more stronger. So if the person is very sensitive could they get emotional even easier? Or does the testosterone instead "help" with that so they won't cry as easily?

Honestly, T made me calmer. Before T, I was very emotionally unstable due to having a mood disorder, but after being on T for 5 months, it stabilized me and I don't react as strongly, so it was the opposite for me.
