One thing that drives me up the wall is my oily skin.
does it go away?
what are the changes with this? all so does the nose loose muscle around it and start to feminize?

If you get on HRT, the oily skin will probably go away.  It did for me.

Oily skin remedies is one of great concerns for many who suffer with this condition. In my experience, you should choose one free oil cleaning milk to wash your face 3 times per day. Using free oil paper to get  oil out of your face. Before applying makeup, use an antiseptic day cream with active ingredients that diminish sebaceous secretions. Using a light antiseptic night cream from time to time if you wish, and apply a clarifying mask one or two times a week.

I second this. But I also use St.Ives Apricot Scrub daily, sometimes multiple times a day to clean and exfoliate my face. It's super inexpensive, and it works pretty well.

I also use it before I shave, because I have not yet swung the funds to shoot myself in the face with a laser or a bolt of lightning to remove this shadow. Deep cleaning, and exfoliating has helped me get substantially better shaves, and I suggest you try that too.

Sorry if I answered more than you asked. I just love giving out tips that has worked so well for me ^.^

"St.Ives Apricot Scrub daily" I think that I will try this. I havn't started HRT yet, but plan to in the future hopefully not to far in the future.

Be aware that it may or may not actually help. I'm genetically female, had normal hormone levels before starting T, and I had the most horrible oily skin (it somehow managed to be oily, sensitive, flaky, and dry all at the same time). but if the other women in your family have nice skin, you should too after enough time on HRT. (In my family, it's the guys who have the good skin)

If your skin isn't too sensitive, you can exfoliate regularly. After exfoliating, moisturize with a generous amount of an oil-free moisturizer. Moisturizing oily skin is counterintuitive but it's actually really important - if your skin gets too dry, it starts producing excess oil in an attempt to moisturize itself. Using an oil-free moisturizer regularly over time can help prevent that, although it might seem to make the problem worse in the first few weeks.

And I find that if I apply benzoyl peroxide (OTC acne medication) in a thin layer after my skin gets oily (don't use this stuff on freshly cleaned/exfoliated skin, it burns like crazy and you'll turn bright red and peel), it tends to reduce the oiliness and keep it from coming back for quite a long time.

I am told....
A little bit of white vinegar in a cotton pad, as a "wipe down" sort of a solution, will keep ya "dry" for the day or more.

white vinegar you say...

might have to look into this.

I'm not much for the special washes and stuff, alcohol is just horrible on my face though I used wet naps a while ago and it seemed to work till they just started to burn real bad after using them.
