eli5 How come testosterone will change a trans man’s voice, but estrogen won’t change a trans women’s?
In: Chemistry
Because estrogen does not make a voice higher pitch…testosterone just makes a voice deeper…actually when women go through puberty, the voice deepens as well….just not as much as a guy, so it is not as noticeable.
Also, if you castrate (chop off the balls) a male before puberty, his voice will never get deeper, but if you castrate a man after he gone through puberty, he will keep his deeper voice (unlike how it is portrayed on movies and bad jokes)…even though he is not longer making as much testosterone as before
Also, if a girl takes testosterone, the girls breast do not fall off and if a guy takes estrogen, his penis doesn’t fall off either.
