Natural T?

[ConfusedMichelle]

Ever since I have come out with myself as a guy, I have felt manlier of course. BUT, I feel like I have become PHYSICALLY manlier? Is this possible?

I've always had a VERY prominent adam's apple. I'm starting to grow body hair in places that I have never had it before. I've also always had a strong jaw line but it seems to be more prominent as well. Plus, I am growing facial hair like crazy?

Of course, since I am looking for manlier things about myself, maybe I am discovering things that I just never noticed before because I am looking for them. But, I really do feel like I am manlier now? I know females have a low amount of testosterone in their bodies, but is it possible that since my brain is thinking manlier, I'm producing natural T?

I actually thought the exact same thing. Maybe we're just noticing this stuff because we're looking for it. But then, why would my voice be cracking?

Who knows. It's nice, though, eh?

Hmm, you know I never believed the mind could actually control what the body does - until I developed a condition (disease) brought on by stress. Most people with this disease have it all the time, but I only have it during times of extreme emotional stress.
Also, hormones CAN fluctuate, so maybe the feelings of identifying as male are causing stress that is elevating your natural T levels?
Or maybe 'allowing' your body to utilize the natural levels of T in your body?
However it's happening, it's a good thing.

An interesting thought..

I've never felt any more or less manlier. I've always been just me... Truth be told I do hate to look in the mirror when I'm naked and even then I tend to look for the more masculine features like wide shoulders and adam's apple.

I can't say my appearance has changed much over these 2 years nor when I was first sure I'm a transsexual. A few more hairs popping here and there but other than that, nada. Or then I'm just not looking hard enough.

I think my voice has changed a little bit, and some of my body hair has definitely got darker in the last year or so. I think it probably is possible to will your body to do things, often hypocondriacs will obsess over having pain in a certain place so much they will actually start feeling it... And genetically female bodies do have the capability to produce some T.
