My transition's going alright. I'm on low dose T and I'm getting impatient about all of it. I'd like to increase my dose to a normal one at my next drs appointment in April, but I just got assigned a solo in choir for may, and my voice hasn't started changing majorly yet (main reason I'm on low dose T, already had a deep voice to start with and wanted it to gradually change so my vocal chords don't get fucked up). With a higher dose there's the risk it'll start changing then sound all cracky and awkward before my solo. But on the other hand, AGHHGHFH I just want my body to transition. All I've got to show so far is a little bit of belly hair.

You never know with voice changes. I went through puberty with no voice cracking or "in-between" state, literally woke up one day and my voice was so deep my mom nearly called the cops when i responded to her knocking on my bedroom door in the morning! Been like that ever since. Had a middle school/high school nickname for how deep it was/is. I was a popular request for any "read this out loud to the class".

I am (long term) not happy about my voice or how rapid male puberty was for me. I had a period of time where I was noticeably bulkier and taller on a daily basis.
