Physical signs?

[Late arrival]

Hey guys, so I've recently found out that I'm a mtf transgender. And since I guess you could say, coming out to myself, since I've had these feelings for a long time, I've noticed some physical things that stand out a bit. First off, my body weight is way too low for a biological male of my size. Currently I weigh about 175 pounds and I am definitely not in the best shape. I am fairly big so if I got rid of all that I would probably weigh in the 140s-150s when I should weigh in the 180s if I wasn't so big. Second, my arms are thin for a biological male and I have the angle outwards at the elbow that girls have. Third, my hips are almost as wide as my shoulders and as far as I can tell, are getting wider. It's even gotten to the point where I feel like I'm walking a bit like a girl. (Which feels nice but I feel like people might get suspicious.) Fourth, my legs are shaped like a girls. This part may just be from me being a larger person at the moment and most of that being located lower, but I'm not sure. Fifth, my voice is too high pitched for how it was going. It seems to me like my voice might have even gotten a bit higher since about 2 years ago. Sixth, I'm not very sure about this one but I feel like I might have a bit of some breasts. Most people assume they're just fat but they don't feel like that and despite me getting a bit more fit than I have been for a while, they're size hasn't changed drastically like my gut has. They've changed size definitely but honestly they haven't reduced in size drastically like my gut has. If anyone has any info or ideas on this it would be greatly appreciated.

Late arrival out.

It does make some sense in that there seems to be an association between hormones, especially prenatal hormone development and transsexual development of the brain - and hormones also play a role in the development of the body.

OTOH many men who identify as men have some feminine body traits as well, they just don't care about them. Some men have high voices or little body hair or are short...

I myself have a few traits as well. I had wide hips originally and a quite interesting lordose angle, I have body hair only on the legs and just a fuzz on the arms, I have no visible adams apple, my face is quite gender neutral and I am rather short at 5'7. But then again I have or had wide shoulders, a deep voice, rather straight arms and I did have some facial hair. Some things also have to do with age - as a teen, a lot of things are still neutral or feminine.

If I'm correct I am only missing the longer fingers on that list of traits in the article. But once again anything helps.

I think that virtually every article listing physical signs has been shown to be very inaccurate. There are so many exceptions from other TG people and from cis people.

I certainly would not get hung up on them

Physical sex is quite a mosaic, so its not really binary but more bimodal. And there are always some exceptions and overlapping traits.

I believe though that there can be correlations, especially if the theory applies that there are hormonal imbalances in the womb that cause transsexuality in some cases - in thos ecases, it may well be that the body is affected by these hormonal imbalances as well. This applies not so much to those traits that develop during pubety though... those on the other hand may be influenced by hormonal imbalances later in life, which again may originate in those changes in the womb. It may be that the Testes produce less testosterone than usual or even produce some estrogen... There is a plethora of undetected and unreported intersex conditions... in my opinion Transsexuality is more or less just one of them...
