That T doesnt always fix everything.

Ive seen way too many times, guys not passing well and people just tell them oh T will fix that. T may masculinize your looks, but it wont necessarily make you pass.

Just dont get your hopes up, some guys dont even get facial hair for a long while. Others voices dont drop until after 5 months. Everyones transition is different, and everyone reacts different to T. Some guys faces change really fast within the first few months, others pretty much look the same even after 6 months to 1 year.

My friend is just starting to be read as male consistently after one year on testosterone. He has a little chin beard, he has the voice, and his face has changed dramatically since he started taking T. It's unfortunately very much a YMMV type of thing.

That is very important to keep in mind, you are right. I too had the wish that by now my voiced would've dropped a little but it didn't. I do see that posted a lot.

I've been almost 2 years on T, I have a lot of facial hair, my voice has dropped a bit.... and yet I'm still called "lady" sometimes.
I think it's because I'm too short, and guys here are around 180/190 cms... me being 162...

Sometimes is like "W-T-F?!!" but I agree, T doesn't fix it all. It helps though :)

It does help, most of the time. More mentally I think, than anything.
I came across a video on youtube of a guy who's been on T for 26 months, and his voice is still very female to me. His face, and all pass as male though.

Mr. Hyde youre height is fine. lol
