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 :)

So my egg has (very) recently cracked, and I just so happen to have fresh T levels results at hand. Kinda shocked to find I apparently have higher T levels than 95-ish percent of cis men lol, was fully expecting the opposite.

Thank you for sharing both the graph and your story too, that's cool as heck! :)
