    I am almost entirely hairless below my neck and have a full head of hair in my mid 40s.

    I am probably on the low end of the testosterone scale.

    I’m also 5’6".

    I never let it stop me from being an absolute horn dog and doing pretty darn well if I do say so myself.

      I am almost entirely hairless from my neck down and have a full head of hair and the last time my testosterone was tested it was at 1332 when the scale typically tops out at 1100.

      I’m in my mid 30s.

      You might have androgen insensitivity syndrome, I do not think that I do, as I have recently started growing facial hair. It’s just been a very long and slow process for me.

      I had some issues, so I got it tested, and it turns out I’m 0.1 above the threshold for men to get HRT. The absolute lowest “normal” range for men, so they can’t legally help me 😂

      For some reason my beard is epic though. Shame I hate having a beard, was planning to get it lasered off. The cosmetic surgeon looked like I suggested killing a puppy and tried to talk me out of it. It’s my face, I don’t care if everyone else likes it prickly and uncomfortable
