ok, this is a weird question but i need some clarity. my hormones have been out of whack for a while. before i hit puberty, i looked so much like a girl, if you asked me my gender and i said male, you'd call me a liar lol. during puberty, i rarely changed except my voice dropped a little bit but i still sound like a girl but with a really bad cold. i'm on the last leg of puberty and my hips and thighs toned out so now i have a sharkira body as i call it (yes i can belly dance and what not) if i grow out my hair and get extensions, i'd look super androgynous. anyways, it seems like my hormones went in reverse but i have normal range as a bio male. anyone know what this is? i'm not even on HRT yet
oh forgot to mention, my female genes started becoming more dominate for some reason. shrinkage is starting to happen, sensitivity is a lot stronger, basically all the things HRT does but on a smaller scale

If you've had the blood work done for your hormone panel and your hormones were within the male reference range then there is a chance you have some form of androgen insensitivity where your testosterone would essentially be partially ignored by your body. Maybe MAIS (mild androgen insensitivity). Or maybe some other similar condition. This is something you should speak to your doctor about. :-*
is it bad? i kinda like its affects. lol. its helping with the body dysphoria a bit though i wont grow boobs, or at least i dont think i will :o

I am not qualified to tell you whether or not it is or could be bad. I can only tell you that it's worth mentioning to your doctor. Let them know you think you may have androgen insensitivity or something similar and tell them why. Gynecomastia (male breast development; usually minor) is somewhat common with MAIS. Did you experience that?
i cant really say for sure but all i know is my nips are really sensitive, they do get very sore and when i push the side, it looks like they are growing or have grown a little bit. i have no chest muscles at all so they look like a body builders chest but with no muscles. i havent completely finished puberty though so i'll discuss it and just observe. to me it looks like whats hanging in that skin sack is a lot larger than normal. i even asked my mother questions and she just gave me "not to my knowledge" response -.-
well dang. if i do have MAIS, i'll need to go on hormones anyways so its really a win win ???

If your doctor were to examine your chest they would be able to tell if you have breast tissue development vs. adipose (fat) only. I definitely recommend bringing this up with the doctor, expressing your curiosity about whether you may have MAIS or something, and then going from there.
i'll give him a call tomorrow but it would best to bring it up with my OB/GYN when i see him on the 17th
Good luck. ;D
