2 years ago The reason they were not included on the androgenic page is because they were not included in the testimonies that I was provided.
I have personal experience with estrogenic effects, as well as years of immersion in transfem spaces, so I was able to compile a lot of that information just on my own (in fact, that page was based on a list I curated over the first 3 years of my transition). I have none of that for the androgen side of things, indeed even finding accounts of what people experienced from starting T is pretty limited outside of transmasc exclusive spaces. For years people kept asking me "when are you gonna do a second puberty article for Testosterone," and I kept saying "I don't have the info!"
It wasn't until someone stepped up and organized several of their friends to produce testamonials for me that I was able to write the androgenic section. Most of that page was compiled from a collaborative doc that they produced, which I corroborated with some other transmasc friends.
I'd love to fill out those sections, but I don't have those answers.
So there are a few sections on the second pubery pages where it's not clear if it's exclusive to the group listed or it simply wasn't put on the other page.
For example, is there a corresponding pelvic effect in androgenic HRT to the estrogenic anterior pelvic tilt, or in fact any bone effects at all? Are the sensory enhancements listed on the estrogenic page exclusive to estrogen—and if so, should people on androgenic HRT expect the opposite? Are some erogenous zones desensitized by androgenic HRT?
This list is not exhaustive but it might be useful to go through point by point and check if there's content discussed on one page that would be relevant (either as-is or an equivalent) to the other page as well. Or perhaps both pages could share an identical section about things that happen regardless of type of HRT.
