Question about T and Fat Redisribution

[Henri]

Alright, so I have a question that I've been trying to figure out by myself but I haven't been able to find a really clear answer yet. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong place. But it's been eating at me, so without further ado...

When on testosterone one of the side effects is the redistribution of body fat. This generally dumps most of it off in your stomach area and such if you don't work out. I've heard that the extent of it will include making your legs more masculine, such as losing all of that female fat around your hips and thighs. Obviously your hip bones don't shrink to male size, which I am aware of and can deal with. But I was just wondering if the fat redistribution applies to the "female ass" also. I'm a bit worried about that... I mean, mine is very obviously.. female. It really ruins my male image and I'd have to say other than obvious feminine features of my face it is what ruins my passing almost all of the time. Will testosterone ever be able to turn it into a man ass? Will good ol' T ever tell the fat chillin' on my buttocks to go and take a hike?

Also, just curious about something else. T will eventually make you develop a masculine face by fat redistribution and bone growth in a male pattern. Does the male bone growth help widen shoulders also, so that even though you have hips the shoulders might eventually widen out enough to give you a masculine figure?

I don't have the experience myself but many of the transguy videos I have seen have mentioned the butt fat migrating. Also don't know if T will change it but there are a lot of shoulder exercises which will help to widen your shoulders. I do a lot of them which have been working well especially since starting T. I've gained about 3" of width since starting T and working out. Don't know specific ones because I do all of my upper body exercises at once and I don't remember what works out what.

I'm past the age where I can get any real bone growth. That said, my shoulders got MUCH broader once I was on T, due to the muscles bulking up. I went from a men's size M shirt to size L due to that. As far as the fat redistribution goes, I distinctly have the pot-belly now (I'm working on it!). My thigh fat has been melting away, and my hip fat is nearly gone. I had a distinct outward flare and curve from my waist to my hips, now it's just straight up and down.

As for the butt issue, well I also have a rear that sticks out and is very rounded. A lot of that is muscle which won't change, but the fat that is padding it is also starting to go away. It's slow-going but the shape is becoming more masculine, although I'm never going to have a flat butt. I'm okay with that, though.

I've been o T about 4 yrs and have seen the fat redistribute nicely. I had a huge ass and hips and over the years my ass has pretty much flattened. So much so that I can whip my pants on and off without unbuttoning them and a belt is now a necessity. Hips aren't straight but getting there. I'm happy. Other then facial hair and my hairline changing some, my face hasn't changed much. Weight training helps, the more fat you can replace with muscle the better.
