I would get your levels tested. As far as my understanding of gender perception, it has a lot to do with how the mind is wired more than anything else. My testosterone was pretty low before starting hormones.

It all depends on the individual. Keep in mind genetics and dietary/lifestyle choices play a great part in it as well. Your hormones also fluctuate throughout your lifetime. While you may have higher levels of T at one point, that could always change, and you could end up with higher levels of E all of a sudden (or any other female hormone).

I just so happen to have higher T levels naturally, which I can thank for my big shoulders, feet and body hair (not always a blessing, unfortunately). However, since I started eating cleaner and cooking my own meals, my E levels seem to be getting up there.

I found this Yahoo Answer, which has a few links about PCOS and FTM:

I had a normal T range.
Meanwhile I know a girl with high level of T and she doesn't have any gender problems.
So T level is not a reason for being a transgender if you mean it

I have a PCOS diagnosis also -- my hormone levels were last checked about three years ago.  I don't remember what my "numbers" were, but the doc wrote in the margin of the lab print-out that my testosterone was three times higher than what they consider to be average for women.

I feel like I haven't really gotten a lot of the physical benefits some folks report -- I still have a round face, big hips, pack weight on my thighs and butt instead of my gut, etc.  I do have a little collection of chin hairs, though.

I actually had low T levels, which did explain why I was so damn emotional about everything. I would always feel like crying or would have tears in my eyes during a confrontation, now I don't, I just get angry and feel the anger but I don't tear up like before.

Yeah, I don't think that has much to do with it, to a degree it may have but who knows. Even so, I had arm hair and leg hair, periods use to be irregular, lasted around 3 days etc..
