For me, my facial hair, body hair, and muscles. They may not be much but I love them!

facial hair and sense of self worth. i actually feel like a person now, rather than a piece of it that isn't worth the air i breathe

confidence, voice and muscle.
my self esteem is higher than it ever was pre T, my voice was fine before, but better now, and I love my "superman effect" muscles (muscles I got for just existing :D)

Increased comfort in myself physically. Orgasms no longer painful. And growth down yonder. But that a related to the first bit.

For me, facial hair and voice changes. Like some of the others, not done changing just yet - but these two things I have yearned for more than anything. I wish I had muscles, though - I can't afford gym membership and I don't know if I'll ever achieve anything with my home training. *sigh* But happy happy - most certainly :)

For me, overall, it was finally being able to find some peace with myself. I always felt like my body was totally fighting against me until I started.
My hairiness, voice, and significantly increased muscle tone are pretty great too. :)

Being happier because I am finally seen for the guy that I am. The changes that resulted in that would be my voice, increased body/facial hair (loving my beard), and just an overall more masculine appearance. My favorite would definitely be my voice though. It's such a relief that I no longer have to force my voice lower or get misgendered on the phone.

Consider testim if you want a gel. it has pharamones as well as T. drives some woman crazy but sickens others.

Sorry but testim contains pentadecalactone which is musk. Some people like this and some do not as you. Pheromones come from the skin glands. Humans (and perhaps other animals) don't really smell them, they more sense them. It is one of those enduring myths.

for me it was the general knowlegde that I had testrorone in my body and for each day it would show more and more and work with my body in a way I would prefern not aganst.
Pre-T I felt stressed out like everyday estrogone would destroy my body more and more, but after first short of T I felt I finally could relax and stop worrying too much about it.

That is one of the biggest things that has made me feel so much better. Before I started T I was always worried about the changes estrogen was making in me that were completely wrong for me. So the best thing has been just feeling much more in line with myself. Also, the voice and facial hair changes that I have had are really nice and definitely help with that. I'm been seen as male pretty unquestionably now to the point where when I went to the Health Department for shots for college the nurse asked me three times if I was the person on my ID, and even after I said yes all those times when my mom entered the room she asked AGAIN if maybe she was actually me (which is kind of problematic as well, so I hope I can get my name changed soon).

Muscle development, downstairs growth, and beard. I've never had upper body muscle in my life and now my biceps bulge. T helped them grow but I've put a lot of work into them too, definitely not one of the guys that just had them come out of nowhere.
Yeah, the name confusion gets frustrating but it's also such a great feeling to get to that point where people are like "umm there's no way that's you, you're a dude".

Yeah, it is really a great thing. I'm able to not be on guard in public anymore where I have to worry about making some "mistake" and them seeing me as female. I used to have to be really careful with my voice and things like that, now I can just relax.

Increase in facial and body hair.
I feel like transition is like walking a million miles and though it's a long way it all starts with the first step. Before T I presented as male but that can only go so far. T made physical things happen, T felt like the first real step on my million mile journey, I don't look for the end, I try to enjoy the scenery and keep walking knowing that with every step I am getting closer.

Emotional stability. I'm not a walking gloom cloud anymore. The voice changes have been fun too though.

Downstairs growth, muscle mass increase, the way my face masculinized I definitely love, deepened voice and body hair (still waiting on the facial hair :p)
I like that Im not as emotional, also that I get angrier quicker as it means I dont put up with people giving me bs.

Being seen as male, facial hair and increase in muscle are some of the things I love that T has done for me but overall finally being at peace with my body is the best thing.

Voice and the fat redistribution. My voice is :icon_censored: awesome and it's good to not look like a little 12-year-old anymore.
