Title: What is the one change you are most looking forward to from T?
Post by: milliontoone on September 18, 2008, 11:43:38 PM
Guys who are not yet on T...what is the one thing/change you are most looking forward to?
For me it would have to be the voice thing, although I am definately looking forward to just generally looking more masculine and having a more masculine looking body, moremalepattern of fat distribution etc ,I have pretty hairy legs and arms already although don't really have any facial hair but facial hair doesn't overly bother me I can take it or leave it. 
I think overall though it will just feel so right to have the proper amount of hormones flowing through my body.  But yeah voice for me would be the big change I am looking forward to I just don't feel like mine is deep enough at the moment I mean I never get called sir on the phone I always have to explain.  And voice is kind of important to me to, I think how you speak and what you say, the way you say it etc definately makes a big statement about who you are.
I do try and consciously speak a little bit lower but I really don't think that I am ever going to sound the way I want to sound without T therapy.

THE one change? That's just too hard for me.

I like the whole package. I'd have to say my general presentation will be more male and my skin and hair and everything will feel the way it should... Everything about T sounds awesome.

it is hard to pick just one thing but if i had to it would probably be the weight distribution thing for me right now. Voice and just not looking like a 17 year old little boy in the face is up there too along with more muscle

For me, it's definitely the voice. I'd like to have a nice tenor. (Of course, it's not really up to me, but I don't want a REALLY deep voice, either. Picky, picky.)

Aw man, just one?  Right now, I'm really looking forward to the ability develop more muscle.  I believe I've hit a plateau with how much muscle I can put onto this estrogenated frame.  I can make gains, but it's incredibly slow; compare this to the the guys who are brand-new to lifting, start out lifting about equal or somewhat less than I can lift now (after 3 years of regular lifting) and surpass me in a matter of weeks.

(Growth down south, period cessation, voice dropping are aso vying for 1st place.)

All of it, except the risks of course.

But I guess if have pick one, maybe period stopping.

Just one thing? Hum, I pretty much am looking forwards to everything. The voice change, being about to grow a beard, not having a period any more, becoming more muscular. It's hard to pick which one of those I'm most looking forward to.

Yeah period cessation has got to be right up there for me too actually, I kind of forgot about that one lol.

I can't wait to not be so skinny.  For my shoulders, neck, face, and arms to get bigger.  That is usually the only thing that sometimes prevents me from passing.  other then that i would say some sideburns and a deeper voice would be cool too.

I'm looking forward to growing facial hair because I know it's going to come in reddish gold, which will look awesome. Last time I saw my brother, he had red-gold stubble and I was so jealous...

The halting of the monthly illness, voice changes, and fat redistribution are all good, too.

before i started the thing i was mostly looking forward to was the monthly crap ending.  i couldn't wait for the voice either.

now that i've been on it almost six months i'd say the voice is the best.

The Voice thing for sure, I pass as male already until I speak, then ppl are confused, lol

So the voice thing will be great.

Growth in certian areas will be nice too  :P

Well, it's pretty difficult to choose just one thing, since there are quite a few I want (and don't want, admittedly), but I'd really like to look male. Just not too masculine.

Other changes I'm looking forward to are lower voice, male body shape, more body hair, being more muscular and an adam's apple would be nice, but I probably won't get one.

you know what i have to change my answer, i said fat distribution was my top change but i realized that if i really have to pick one it would be not looking like im 16ish when im over 30! so i guess that change would be the way my face will look. Then it would be voice next since thats the only thing that can stop me from passing, and distribution after that

these are all physical changes but i'd like to add that i think the change that has been the greatest for me in overall life has got to be the emotional/mental changes.

I finally just feel "right".  I'm no longer Peter Pan without his Shadow.  Just feeling alive for the first time since I can remember is just as important as the physical stuff, if not more so.

period cessation.
That would have been a tie for me (with the voice change), but I quit bleeding not too long ago. One of the few benefits of being an older pretransition guy.

And it's as wonderful as you would expect.

The one thing I'm most looking forward to? That's so hard to choose. I guess the body/facial hair barely edges above the rest. I always wanted chest hair and to grow a beard and 'stache. :D
