Quote from: Joey4 on November 26, 2012, 03:50:36 PMI know briefly about T but I haven't managed to research deeply about it. Can anybody give me a brief description of what it does and how it works etc?
Just a word of advice, before you talk to your parents about anything you should seriously study up on hormones, surgeries, etc. It's good for you to know but they will also have questions. If you're unable to answer those questions they might not take you seriously and think it is just a phase.
In a nutshell, Testosterone will lower your voice, give you a male pattern hair line, body hair, etc...It will send you into male puberty and well...turn you into a man on the outside to match your insides. Those are the desired effects. It can also raise blood pressure, cholesterol, etc.
Really study up on everything. Transition isn't easy and it isn't something to go into lightly.
