Alright where I go to therapy the meeting at which you are approved for your T letter is with what the place calls a gender team. What it is is the psychiatrist who over sees the therapists plus my therapist plus 2-4 other therpaists in the agency. Now it lasts for 30 minutes. I guess they sit there and ask questions to see if they think I am ready for T. I have to know all the side affects of T and like where I see myself in 5 years and so on. No my question is this, I know the basics of what happens on T but does anyone have any awesome info I could like knock thier socks off with. or any info you would like to share that I should make sure I know in case they ask?
I know changes your voice, gives you small growth down stairs, makes your pores wider, changes fat distribution, hair growth anything else?
I just want to make sure I am prepared so i do not ruin my chances of getting my T letter tomorrow.
Thanks ahead of time.

Erm... thickens bones, I think (and can make your hands and feet bigger), and in some cases reduces chest size a bit (but this is probably due to the fat redistribution), and also makes building muscle easier. There are also some health problems that have been linked to T, but those are quite easily researched: http://ftm.org.uk/faq/hormones (http://ftm.org.uk/faq/hormones)
Stop worrying! You should be fine! ;D And good luck!
