No, many people do this. Some also take estrogen blockers to stop feminisation beforehand.

I'm also pretty sure many cis-males are on T before they are 18, puberty and all that  :P

As Greg said this would not be an issue. It actually can end up with much better results if done properly in combination with estrogen blockers. Your body hasn't finished developing, even by the age of 18, the younger you can start T the better your results would be because you would not go through the stages of female puberty if it is done in combination with estrogen blockers, even without the blockers it will still have a much better result than most people who start later in life.

Nope. That's what I'm trying to do. Better results than if you start after 18.

Provided you are under the supervision of a doctor then no, that paired with hormone blockers if you haven't hit puberty yet would give you incredible results.

I've heard that it's best to use hormone blockers until you've done growing because when you start T, you won't grow.

I saw it on TV show about young FTMs, so yeah.

Only if they put you on really high doses. With no sex hormones, you will end up very tall with a thin build. High voice, little body hair, all that.

Actually, there is a study that says that the younger you start,
the better.

The transition is a lot smoother, when you're in your teens,
because it's just like regular puberty,
which you would already be doing anyway.

Well let's say that you got on T without your parents consent. They're gonna find out.

I've heard different things on this.
Apparently it can be if your not 'fully developed' but i dont see what that has to do with it.

What i was also told is, it works better when your younger because your body will adapt better.
I got put on T soon as i turned 18 because i kept pushing for it, i would of been on blockers but the woman i see didnt get round to sending the thing for blockers..so im told :P
