Idunno if i asked this before but i dont think i got a reply. buti got some hips on me and i do not like em. men dont have hips. anyways when u on T does it help. does it rejuse the size, i dont now if  T change ur body only that part of it grows ;) and i now the basics but not what it does to ur body

your hip BONES won't change, but the fat will melt off.  around five months on T or so, i suddenly needed all new pants because they were too big.  based on your pant preference in previous threads, you might not notice a difference.

Well my hips r mostley fat. and i am on a diet and been exersizing everyday and night as i always have but just resentley i have been diting but nothings really changed there yet. i never had bad hips till i tarned 18 and im not really a over wait person its just my hips r bad, i did get a lil over wait farst at one point and i have bad stretch marks cuz of that  but im only askin cuz one dau i wold love to walk around in a vest but all u can see is my mazive hips.. and thats one thing that people can notice that im a female. besides the double Bs, but i tend to strap them down. so they look even bigger cuz of that. i look waired.

i would respond but i can't make sense of any of this.

Yeah, T will most likely make losing the fat off of your hips easier; not much can be done about the bone, though.  I tried my damnedest to lose weight off of my hips pre-T, and found it extremely difficult to lose more after a certain point.  It was like my body was literally fighting to keep hold of the last of its fat reserves (~18% BF is the lowest I've ever been able to drop).  I read somewhere that the female body, in general, likes to keep a reserve of around 20-30 lbs of fat (the actual amount seems to vary from person to person--probably due at least in part to genetics).  Why?  To support pregnancy, should it occur >.<  I hypothesize that estrogen & other female hormones play a large part in this fat maintenance; once T becomes the dominant hormone in one's body, it should be easier to drop those hips (exercise likely required--though I keep hearing stories of guys just losing their hips on T w/o putting much effort in, the lucky buggers).

That said, I've been on T for 5 weeks and my hip fat hasn't gone anywhere (I've been measuring).  I'm hoping this is just something that takes time and my body won't stubbornly hold onto its hip fat like it did when I was an estrogenated being.  I've been working out on a regular basis (running, weightlifting) to help speed things up a bit.  My endurance has noticeably increased since being on T; that helps.

And one more thing: some men do have hips.  Seriously.  I've met quite a few men who deposit fat in a typically female way--right to the hips.

I noticed, the first time I was on T, that the fat began to come out of my hips at almost 4 months. Unfortunately, it was very shortly after that that I ran out and had to stop for quite awhile. It'll come, though; fat redistribution just seems to take a bit longer than the rest of it.

Dude, not everyone spells perfectly. Some have learning disabilities. Some have physical disabilities. Others have social disabilities. Not really cool to taunt any of them in my opinion.

no taunting.  i couldn't decipher.

Well, if you come from the hourglass figure type. Getting some fat in the waist will even the hips a bit.

My body itself is ok very manley i just have lil nip picks that stand out. Like my hip i want them to look more flater then sticking out i want it to look more manley my bell y is fine if i had smaller hips and no tits lol i would look pretty good, but i keep working out now so it more of a dayley thing and if i stick to it when im on T then i prob lose a lil on my hips i have big legs very muserley so i dont want to get skinny cuz it just dont look right and im not a great speller i just never went school

Been on T 48 weeks now and I've still got hips.  It is more evident to me now that I've had Top Surgery. 

So really its a crapshoot.

Will exercise help?

excersize only reduces fat.   you cant really change the bone size with that.

yeah exercise can help with the fat/muscle but not the bones.  i'm pretty sure i'm dealing with both bones and fat.

its not really the bone its mostley fat, so i was just woundring if T helps with reusing the size, if u look at this pic u can kinda tell. i have big sholders and arms so i dont want to be skinny i just need help in the hip section and belly

I am a big guy and T has moved all my weight to my stomach so my hips aren't that big anymore, I have the same sort of build as you aswell.. judging from your picture.

in the meantime, wear boxier shirts and pants that aren't as baggy do your best to appear as a rectangle by evening out your shoulders/hips.
