Odd, I can find no mention of it online.. Androcur has a PBS authority that relates to sexual deviancy.

Yeah, I hadn't heard that about Finasteride. When I attempted transition in the early 1990s I was prescribed Androcur and I can remember when I got it filled at the pharmacy being paranoid that they would think I was on it for being a sex criminal/pervert!

It must have been androcur then!

I am now back on spiro. Hooray. I look forward to smelling less offensive in the near future.

Anger most definitely. I'm much calmer now than I used to be.

I'm not sure if this does against the meaning of the thread, but the thing I hate most about T is the anxiety. not directly T-related but more dysphoria related but now that the T is blocked and I have some nice estrogen in my brain I feel so much freer.

but as far as directly related things go I'd have to say beard, yuck.

Smelly feet.
Try putting antiperspirant on the bottom of your feet.
It will cut down on the sweating, which will cut down on the odor.

It doesn't require a listing on the Sex Offenders Register though. Just the PBS authority is for sexual deviancy, something that only the PBS will ever know about.. Or, you can do as I do and get it on a private prescription, no odd authority.. Just it's about $100 a box.

(I ran out of anti-androgen three days ago. Just slipped my heels off under my office desk and got the shock of my life) ...

I am unfortunately cursed with that affliction all the time.
For me it was Voice and all the acne problems I had until the T was gone

If You can get it, "Cyproplex" is two times cheaper and it is the same generic cyproterone acetate.

Goodness!  some of the stuff on here such as nose hairs, smells, flatulence, deep voices, skeletons, feet, hands, too much hair and lack thereof, secretions, etc...    I know plenty of cis-women with all those things and then some! so I guess that pesky ole T is in abundance everywhere.

For me, the thing I hate about T is how it makes some men continuously think about sex. It's almost as if that is all they think about.

In order
Facial hair
Odor
Body hair
Voice
Rough skin
The fact that it made me "male" in the first place.

All of this, plus brow ridge and the worst was the agression. I could never do enough to run off all that agrsseive energy. It is exhausting to contemplate.

Gah... oh how I abhor testosterone... well, in me that is. What I hate about T especially Dihydrotestosterone(DHT) is the muscle it maintains and the facial and body hair though little that it caused to grow on me. Also the oily face and thick skin is horrible.

Zoetrope

So, the moral of the story was this -

Metallic male smell = unpleasant
Musky female smell = also unpleasant
Both at once = all kinds of wrong

I don't take my spiro for granted anymore ... :~s

Hahaha, well, I love natural body odor when it comes from a healthy person that eats right and exercises. ;D I have become very sensitive to the smell of men and love the some smell sooo much especially the healthy athletic ones.. OMG! I know I probably seem sick but heck I can't help nor wish to.
