Title: Question about adam's apple size and an update

So I had a question. My adam's apple doesn't begin to match my voice which now sounds like Darth Vader. Do cisguy's adam's apples generally match the pitch of their voice...ie...a higher voice = smaller apple, lower voice = bigger apple.
Also, after a chain of events today that got me to thinking...I filed my name change. ;D :o I should be saving for a car and whatnot but it's a long story filled with rage and anger and dysphoria. But I have the most beautiful piece of paper I've ever seen now. It's the receipt from my filing that says old name...new name: Leo Kaiden ________. I swear I'm saving this thing forever. I'll know my court date in "about 2 weeks". I should get my gender marker papers back around the same time as my court date so I'll kill off two things at once.
Also I saw my doc and my T levels are 681 which he said is very good considering that I've only been on T for 10 weeks. He's letting me switch to every 10 days for my shot so I don't get into that whole mind**** in the end of the shot cycle.
;D

my brother and my dad have almost invisible adam's apples but very deep voices, so no need to worry :)
congrats on the name change!

I do not think there is any corolation. I have no adams apple discernable at all but my natural range is bass/baratone. (yes it makes doing a girl voice almost impossible)

Same here, no correlation. My favorite actor has a very prominant apple, but his voice is actually rather high for a dude. Besides, James Earl Jones (http://i450.photobucket.com/albums/qq230/BatsUseSonar/JamesEarlJones.jpg) himself doesn't have a noticeable apple, so I wouldn't worry about it. ;)

From what others have said it is evidently not correlated, although as it happens I do have a natural contralto voice (low end of normal female) and no apple whatsoever.

Like everyone else has said, the Adam's apple has no relation to the deepness of the voice.
I found that my Adam's apple has really started to thicken out since about 4 months on T.

I think weight has a big part in how visible it is. If you have a low body fat percentage it can be more noticeable since you won't have much fat in your neck area, whereas if you have a higher body fat percentage it would be less visible due to having some fat in the neck area. That's just something I've noticed though, not necessarily like that for everyone.

I know one guy who has a huge adams apple but his voice is natrually very high (to the point where he *almost* sounds like a girl)
Don't think the two are related.
