And yeah, crazy high testosterone, although you might never guess. I generally would assume someone with that much testosterone would have some facial hair. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 21 child comments replies: [–] applebusch@lemmy.blahaj.zone 74 points 3 months ago (4 children) im guessing he also has some degree of androgen insensitivity. having crazy high testosterone youd expect large muscles, lots of facial hair, male pattern baldness, a low voice, but hes not that big, has at least thin facial hair that he shaves, a full head of hair, and a relatively high voice. idk if any version of androgen insensitivity is associated with very high testosterone levels but i wouldn't be surprised. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Grail@multiverse.soulism.net 35 points 3 months ago Type 2 testobetes permalink fedilink source parent [–] MrSmith@lemmy.world 15 points 3 months ago (1 child) Actual High-T, low-E build: https://www.researchgate.net/figure/The-27-yr-old-male-with-aromatase-deficiency-with-permission-of-the-patient-to-reproduce_fig5_11005642 permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago Bro caught that Elon torso syndrome permalink fedilink source parent [–] imgcat@lemmy.ml 7 points 3 months ago these are just stereotypes permalink fedilink source parent [–] harambe69@lemmy.dbzer0.com 39 points 3 months ago The lasers keep burning it off permalink fedilink source parent [–] MasterNerd@lemmy.zip 21 points 3 months ago Dude's in his 30s but looks and sounds like a guy in his early 20s. permalink fedilink source parent [–] dangling_cat@piefed.blahaj.zone 16 points 3 months ago (1 child) At that level of androgen, some of the androgen will be transformed into estrogen.

Just know that high testosterone and baldness are highly correlated permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 3 child comments replies: [–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 11 points 3 months ago You could also have a high tolerance for DHT, which is the metabolite of testosterone associated with hair loss. In general though I think a lot of people focus very hard on the specific hormones, and typically they'll do what they say on the tin in standard doses. But there are a lot of edge cases. Higher or lower sensitivities, general proclivities, etc. Before transitioning most people would've suspected I had very high T. I had a deep voice at a young age, built muscle fast, full beard as a teenager, the whole shebang minus baldness (but I transitioned young so that could just be time). But nope, my levels were average. I also responded fairly strongly to estrogen. What's far more important than your numbers is if you're getting healthy and acceptable effects from your hormone levels. There's no need to mess with your levels unless there's need to mess with your levels. permalink fedilink source parent [–] blarghly@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago (1 child) Iirc, keeping or losing your hair as a guy has to do with DHT receptors in your hair follicles. T doesn't make your hair fall out, but DHT does, and your body produces more DHT as you get older (hence why finastride works as a hair loss inhibitor - it blocks DHT from the receptors in your hair). But only the hair on the top of your head is sensitive to this, with sensitivity higher in some places than others. Hence, some guys bald on the crown first, while some have a receding hairline first, and some never bald at all. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] Shizzymcjizzles@fedinsfw.app 1 point 3 months ago I will never go bald.
