For those of you worried about testosterone levels, or who have been told that they aren’t trans and “just have low testosterone” or something similar, I thought I would take the chance to show my pre transition T levels.

The image shows the average testosterone levels for cis men, by age. That upper red line is the 97.5% percentile line, meaning that 97.5% of cis men have T levels below this rate. And if you look, there I am, above that line!

Yet, I transitioned 7 years ago now, and I’m still here :)

    My partner (jokingly) refers to themselves as a “recovering alpha male” because their testosterone levels were also super high

      T aromatises to E so if you have high T you probably have high E also.

      Coincidence? 🧐

      There’s antagonism though unless levels are bonkers high (e.g. people on gear for ages).

        No such luck for me!
