Think of it as male puberty and everything that comes with that. Your voice drops, you grow facial/body hair, you’ll likely get acne for a while, your hairline squares out and may eventually recede, your libido and hunger will likely increase, your smell will change, your ability to gain muscle increases, etc. Trans-specific changes include redistribution of new body fat, cessation of menstrual cycle, genital atrophy, and your medical risks overall shift to that of a male

Your skin/hair (esp body) texture will change! Even if you’re greasy, moisturizing will help. Also, your iron levels may get higher when you stop menstruating, so staying hydrated is super important. Mentally, my emotions are more in the background for me, I’m a lot calmer day to day. As for growth, you’re going to need to start thoroughly washing so you don’t get dick cheese. It’ll start smelling like one, but no complaints as long as you shower lmao. Invest in men’s underwear
