Hey. So, a couple times around here I've seen posts by people who are thinking about taking testosterone, but don't particularly desire certain changes, or only want changes "partway". It seems pretty common for transmasculine people to want changes to voice, body fat distribution, and muscle mass, but not want facial or body hair.
Usually, people point out that you can't pick and choose what changes come from testosterone. But facial hair, body hair, and genital growth are largely the result of DHT, not testosterone. On the other hand, men with 5-alpha-reductase deficiency (an intersex condition where they don't produce DHT), tend to have normal male-range voices, musculature, and (it seems) fat distribution.
So, couldn't someone take testosterone with a DHT blocker to cause generalized masculinization, but without androgenic hair? That would, theoretically, solve the problem of the nonbinary person who wants to change their fat distribution or needs to pass at not-female, but doesn't want "manly" hair distribution. Or someone who JUST wants a lower voice, and WOULD take T temporarily if not for the body hair.
