Smelly feet.
(I ran out of anti-androgen three days ago. Just slipped my heels off under my office desk and got the shock of my life) ...
:~o
anger
The sheer bigness of the body features that it created. (Big muscles, thick skin, stocky frame... urgh... so ugly...)
Oh wait, actually, never mind, hair loss. Definitely hair loss. Nothing in my life has given me more nightmares and more of a feeling of desperation and hopelessness than when I started losing my hair. NEVER again. That is the #1 thing that reminds me that I could never go back.

That's a big and profound one, Stephanie.
Wow, old-me was difficult to be around sometimes ... :~s
body and facial hair and deep voice

I kinda feel like I have cheated sometimes. Both my father and my *little brother* have gone / are going bald.
I don't feel any real remorse about it though ... :~o
omg so paranoid about hairloss...gunna get on finasteride soon I hope
I dislike hair loss, body/facial hair and angular facial features. Thankfully, the latter two can be somewhat easily seen to. I've had to come to terms with the former and when presenting as male (like I do most of the time), I go skinhead because of MPB. Finasteride wasn't for me as I wanted to keep my sexual drive and not have to sink an extra £38 a month.
To get Finasteride (I think its this one) in Australia, you need to go on the register for sexual deviancy. You get a number and everything.
My Endoc was hilarious about it. When he mentioned being given a *number*, he said in his crisp Queen's English - ''but some people take issue with that''.
How "T" made my voice low during puberty. I was in my car this morning singing along to Van Morrison's Days like this song and my old deep voice came out of nowere. I was stunned and thank god no-one else was in the car with me.
My shoulders and frame.. T just destroyed my body as a "typical" female skeleton.. If I could safely rip it out and replace it I would!! but trying to accept it... maybe E will help with redistributing fats and muscles and help a bit.. lol
When my T level is too low..

Actually, I hear you there too.
Since running out of anti-androgen, I felt a huge surge in my sex drive, and I have been *enjoying* that.
I was skeptical about this little phenomenon until I experienced it first hand!
Nonetheless, the bad smells and everything else totally outweigh it ... :~o

What about dutasteride?

I'm not sure. It was one of the two. I ended up being distracted by Endoc humour ...
.......that my body's natural inclination is to produce a lot of it!

Odd, I can find no mention of it online.. Androcur has a PBS authority that relates to sexual deviancy.
Too much made me male!

Thankfully hair loss and thinning doesn't run in my family....but I hate body hair....stomach, chest, thighs....worst of all, back and butt!! Nothing is worse than pulling off your bikini cut lace trimmed sexy little undies, and realizing that you still have a fuzzy little ugly bikini cut undie that you can't take off or see to shave

Yeah, I hadn't heard that about Finasteride. When I attempted transition in the early 1990s I was prescribed Androcur and I can remember when I got it filled at the pharmacy being paranoid that they would think I was on it for being a sex criminal/pervert!
It must have been androcur then!
I am now back on spiro. Hooray. I look forward to smelling less offensive in the near future.
Hair loss
Body hair
Big frame (a doctor once told me I would be considered "big boned." Perfect for a football player, Bad for the petite little girl I wanted to be.)
Sex drive
But the best answer was Stephanie's: anger
Anger most definitely. I'm much calmer now than I used to be.
I'm not sure if this does against the meaning of the thread, but the thing I hate most about T is the anxiety. not directly T-related but more dysphoria related but now that the T is blocked and I have some nice estrogen in my brain I feel so much freer.
but as far as directly related things go I'd have to say beard, yuck.

Smelly feet.
Try putting antiperspirant on the bottom of your feet.
It will cut down on the sweating, which will cut down on the odor.
Hair loss, body hair, nose hair, and smell

It doesn't require a listing on the Sex Offenders Register though. Just the PBS authority is for sexual deviancy, something that only the PBS will ever know about.. Or, you can do as I do and get it on a private prescription, no odd authority.. Just it's about $100 a box.

I am unfortunately cursed with that affliction all the time.
For me it was Voice and all the acne problems I had until the T was gone

If You can get it, "Cyproplex" is two times cheaper and it is the same generic cyproterone acetate.
Goodness! some of the stuff on here such as nose hairs, smells, flatulence, deep voices, skeletons, feet, hands, too much hair and lack thereof, secretions, etc... I know plenty of cis-women with all those things and then some! so I guess that pesky ole T is in abundance everywhere.
For me, the thing I hate about T is how it makes some men continuously think about sex. It's almost as if that is all they think about.

All of this, plus brow ridge and the worst was the agression. I could never do enough to run off all that agrsseive energy. It is exhausting to contemplate.
definitely acne... damn acne destroyed my chance to have smooth skin, even though its completely gone now it left scars everywhere. Thats my biggest insecurity! :(

1. The rage.
2. Facial/body hair
3. bone structure
4. odor
5. Insane sex drive despite hating my bottom configuration. (If I had the right parts, it wouldn't be so bad >:-) )

Gah... oh how I abhor testosterone... well, in me that is. What I hate about T especially Dihydrotestosterone(DHT) is the muscle it maintains and the facial and body hair though little that it caused to grow on me. Also the oily face and thick skin is horrible.
So, the moral of the story was this -
Metallic male smell = unpleasant
Musky female smell = also unpleasant
Both at once = all kinds of wrong
I don't take my spiro for granted anymore ... :~s
Hahaha, well, I love natural body odor when it comes from a healthy person that eats right and exercises. ;D I have become very sensitive to the smell of men and love the some smell sooo much especially the healthy athletic ones.. OMG! I know I probably seem sick but heck I can't help nor wish to.
T made me feel as if my mind was being twisted into a knot and the real me was dying.
When my sister was pre-puberty she had the absolute stinkiest feet - so testosterone isn't the only contributor to bromodosis (yes, I had to look that up!!! ;D )
I wonder why some people have a strong foot odor gene and others do not even within the same family? I never had any food odor problem ever, however, my big brother and by older sister(the second eldest of 5 kids) have bad odor of the feet.. especially my brother whewy!!
It might be because of overly large pores in the foot or bad dermis immune system balance down there.
The fact that it poisoned me and cost me thousands of dollars to reverse the damage.
