Liminal Stranger, I actually think your voice sounds fine in the first one. It definitely passes, but like you said, it passes for a younger guy

What do you think about my voice? I feel like it sounds as if I'm talking through my nose in some parts?  I don't know tho, it sounded different on camera as it does on the computer now. Do I sound "stereotypically gay"? Please be honest! Any tips on how to speak in a more masculine way?

I couldn't find your voice clip Harlee, just photos. 

Hey guys. I pretty much pass in everyday life, though not particularly well. I'm pre-T and pre-surgery...what do you think? Any suggestions?

Sounds British. And male. No American would say you sound gay, as they already think anyone not from America is gay.
(PS, if your hair is light colored, you won't be getting much body hair anyway.)

That's in no way a British accent, definitely aussie...  Kinda funny if you think we sound like that too.  It's strange to hear people on here speaking in different accents because I read all of your posts in a British accent because I'm British.

I wouldn't question either of your voices, but I'm not very good at picking up on those sorts of things.

I've only heard one aussie before, so I can't really tell the difference

If you don't mind me asking, where did you hear that from?
I'm curious because my body hair is white and I'm pre-t and much more hairy than my brothers already. I don't have high T levels or anything, I just always thought body hair growth was down to genetics.

It is genetics.  I know lots of blonde people who have lots of body hair.  A lot are from colder parts of Europe and would need to have evolved body hair to stay warm.

It's more like it's less noticeable, especially if it matches your skin color. I have way more than I used to, but it's hard to see unless you stick your face in the area.

You can have really noticeable body hair that is dark and still have light head hair

Most people in my family on my dad's side have blond head hair- but the men have bear levels of dark, super obvious body hair; forearm hair, feet hair, chest hair, you name it (back hair!).

We have light hair and dark brown eyebrows. Our hair is straw white as kids and gets gradually darker with age, ending up at sandy blond/dishwater blonde/light brown. I expect to be super hairy shortly, and I already have a good amount of it to start off with

I guess eyebrows are a better prediction. I guess I was just basing it off people around here, but since the weather is temperamental and goes between freezing to boiling, genetics can't really decide if body hair would be a good thing or not.

My eyebrows are practically invisible... horray  I've always wanted a visible happy trail... guess I'll just have to wait and see what T does, considering nobody in my family has my hair color. there are upsides to not being a bear though, so maybe I should be happy about my white hair.

Not gay at all. You don't need tips to speak in a more masculine way imo.

pre-T

2 weeks on T

2 months on T

So the last time I posted, I was pre-T and I used a picture from last year. Well, I started two months ago. What do y'all think?

Nice progress

I can't see your pictures, am I the only one?

They appear as broken links, but I can see them if I right-click and directly open the image. Photobucket seems to have that issue sometimes.

Rex and Caito, you both look fine. Also you sound completely normal to me, Harlee. There's a huge difference between that video and the one you made pre-T, congratulations on your progress!

Thanks for the replies! It's good to know that my voice sounds ok
Rightocaito, you look great! You definitely pass and it looks like you're changing quickly!

Oh really. From what I can see you pass Rex.

I don't know if anybody has told you this but in this pic you actually look a lot like a young John Travolta! So yeah I think the T is working! btw I love that look on your face in that pic it shows confidence/cockiness very masculine. I think your going to pass quite well

No I think more like a young Tony Danza!

I can see that too! But whoever he looks like I see major hotness potential. If he's looking this good in just 2 months I cannot even imagine what he'll look like in a year. 

Hey guys, this is a pic of me from about two months ago (my hair has grown out since and definately won't pass now.) I figured I'd post and see if you guys think I could pass or not (I'm pre-T BTW.)

Look how high I can get my quiff now! Morrissey-tastic!
