I started a poll on snap poll.com which I would like to link here. I'm curious as to when people started to be regularly read as male with how long they have been on testosterone.
link to the poll (http://snappoll.com/poll/359720.php)
D'oh! I see a flaw in the poll. The "don't click" should be "I'm between 1 month-3 years on testosterone and have not been regularly read as male"
EDIT: I remade the poll to remove the thinger that prevented people from voting based on cookies and IP.

It tells me "you cannot vote repeatedly" even though that was the first and only time I voted. Weird.
Very weird...but I can't go back and change it. :(
Changed it. The new link should work.
I consider on a regular basis to be over half the time. Or maybe when people speak up about your gender it's more often "he" and "sir."
cool idea for a poll. I picked 1-3 months because it was around 3 months when I started passing all the time
The results are surprising.
what are the results? I couldn't see them
How long after starting testosterone were you read as male on a regular basis?
I was read as male regularly before starting testosterone 41% 45
I am not on testosterone and am not read as male regularly 30% 33
1-3 months 9% 10
I have been on testosterone for between 1 month-3 years and am not read as male regularly 8% 9
3-6 months 6% 6
6-9 months 4% 4
9-12 months 2% 2
1-2 years 0% 0
2-3 years 0% 0
I have been on testosterone for over 3 years and am not read as male regularly 0% 0
total votes: 109
interesting, thanks
Hmm... it was a hard call for me, because I passed at exactly 50% pre-T. I took a poll and everything. :D Mostly I was seen totally androgynously (the deer in the headlights expressions on faces when they were forced to choose a gender.... priceless) but when it was asserted, it was usually male - at least, in the few months before T. Took me a while to get down the mannerisms, voice, and overall look needed to pass that well. Now I feel like I'm passing 70-80% of the time, about 2 months in. I voted 1-3, at any rate, because you said more than half of the time passing as male. Voice seals the deal.

No T for me yet :P I pass 100% always. Unless of course I have to give away my name for real, then they are really surprised :laugh:
