Five Years of Testosterone
Download | Duration: 00:00:48
In honor of the five-year anniversary of the beginning of my transition, I thought it would be fun to revisit one of the key changes that testosterone elicits. This podcast is a collection of recordings that demonstrates the power of T to lower the voice. It's fascinating to me, and I thought it might be to you, too.
The voice and other physical changes happen rather quickly. Just like naturally-occurring puberty, the hair growth takes longer. Five years later, I'm still waiting for a decent set of sideburns and a goatee, while the hair on top of my head has been leaving steadily for the last two years. Sheesh.
okay, i have to say this kinda freaked my freak out. that girl at the beginning of the podcast, i remember her. i really liked her (loved her). she was a cool chick. but hearing her voice reminds me that even then somehow i knew she was an illusion, and colin was in there. colin makes more sense than that girl. was she a dream or a real memory? either way, it's pleasant to revisit.

Hey, cousin! Thanks for stopping by again. Yep, the audio diary of the voice changes is a little eerie. I appreciated your perspective, though: the girl was, for all important intents and purposes, an illusion. I tried, I really did! Turns out it wasn't so convincing after all. Colin, thankfully, is here to stay.
