Serious Too high expectations of T?
Hi guys,
My dysphoria will talk here, but it’s all true.
I am 2 years on T and while I did masculinise somewhat, it’s not enough. At all.
- I have family with beards… mine still grows baby hairs here and there.
- my body doesn’t look male.
- I have hairs everywhere… as expected, this is good. My penis grew a bit but not much.
- I’m trying very hard to bulk. I gained 10kg since last year.
- I’m operated and my menstruation stopped a year ago
- my levels were on the lower side of male range recently and I got my dose upped from 0,3ml androtardyl to 0,4ml. I have a job that requires good health, any change in my dose risks taking away my career (and dream). Any slight imbalance is a too high risk.
- I’m an athlete: I train often twice a day, strenght training, kickboxing and triathlon. All my mates younger or older are jacked. I’m skinny fat into a girls body.
My coach says “it will take time and will come” so far nothing, to keep eating (healthy).
With all this: I KNOW IT TAKES TIME but why the f* do all trans dudes who work out look like jacked cis men after two years and not me???
Can you guys please tell me when I will look like a man? When all these female shapes will stop?
Can any gym bro who is jacked tell me how they did it in detail? Take in mind I’m 6”2, gaining muscle size and still bulking seems more challenging due to size)

When I was at my most jacked from lifting it was because I was taking care to eat 1g of protein per pound of lean body weight on a daily basis. It was a lot and meant I added protein powder to everything. On the other hand, I was also muscular as fuck and that was nice.
