Interesting you say that, I've stopped since, and my voice has pretty much stopped lowering as well. I wonder if it is due to vocal chord lengthening.

Yuo guys on T seem to need to clear your throats alot. I wonder if it's because the hormones are working on the voice box.

Just wanted to further suggest that you look at the distinguishing characteristics between the terms 'gender' and sex. Race and gender are social constructs which have been backed up by arguments of essentialism from patriarchal society to maintain oppressive power over groups which "deviate from the norm". This discussion deserves a much more in depth format than permitted by youtube commentary.

Estradiol and testosterone are equally important in behavior in BOTH males and females.

They work by inhibiting aromataze which turns testosterone estrogen in men,not sure if the conversion is as high or if its the same mechanism, in female born bodies which is your case, so you need to find out more. But in a male body,when too much testosterone is produced,the male body converts it to estrogen&dihydrotestosterone, thats an enemy to bodybuilders hence estrogen blockers. It may boost the effect of testosterone, i know it does in males, but research, it may also help in your case.

if you read my reply properly, you would notice I said some behavioural traits are borderline & some are total opposites, anyway, good luck, my take on people who have gender identity problems is for them to try to push themselves towards their original gender as much as possible rather than to seek the opposite gender. I came across your video looking for bodybuilding sup. reviews & there are things called estrogen blockers, they might help you further.Look for Inhibit E, 6-Bromodione, ATD, ATP

*** Note.

Sorry, one more. Behavior is also very strongly based on culture. If you are not often part of that culture, it is difficult to comprehend certain behaviors. I am Trinidadian, and to my fullest knowledge, it seems as though both men and women scratch the backs of their neck similar to how I did at 1:46.

[blckpanthurr1]

As a footnote, behavior is not classified under male and female. That is generally left strictly to sexual anatomy/physiology. The proper terms used are feminine and masculine. Man and woman are, again, very much fabricated terms by societal "norms".

I'd like to respond to your first comment, so please post back.

[blckpanthurr1]

Could you please rephrase the last comment? It was difficult to understand what your point was.

In reply to your second comment:

Acting is different than behavior. Behavior is different than appearance. Seeking hormone replacement therapy in the case of many whom are transsexual is based predominantly, if not solely on attaining appearance. Behavior was that of the identified-gender. Testosterone is actually much less influential than estradiol in terms of behavior for both males and females.

[koltkilo]

Males & Females have very distinct behavioural traits with clear differences. Not only are these differences recognizable in humans, but across nearly all sexual animals. Now, some of these differences fall in opposite ends making them clearly distinguishable & some are borderline such as the differencs between the way a male and a female walks, thats borderline. If acting was a human fabrication, you wouldn't pursue testosterone therapy. Anyway, good luck.

[koltkilo]

You cannot compare racial with gender.You might aswell say humans & dogs r the same because we are both "animals".There are 2 clear distinctions in the animal subtype "mamals" & "human" mamals & thats being a "male"or"female",then we have sub groups such as a "fat male" or "fat female" "black male"or"white male".To imply the disctinction between males and females is a human fabricaiton is denying science, evolution, biology & creation.Your comment was like saying night&day is a human fabrication
