Throw away cause semi stealth and plan to fully be stealth in college

I started testosterone last Friday it is currently Wednesday so Day 5 using how the doctor told me to count

Day one I started being completely hungry and it’s felt different where I feel like I always have a sort of hunger signal even when my stomachs full , also weird sensations in genitals can equate to bottom growth
Day two same
Day three started being really hot and gross sweaty oily and started sleeping super deep and getting tired earlier - assuming my body just needing more rest because of the behind the scenes work it’s doing
Day four I felt dry and oily at the same time along with previous stuff
Day five today is where it gets weird , I’ve been in lots of musicals and like to sing in my car this morning I was singing and my upper register felt different and difficult I sung a tenor opt up I sung in a musical in March and couldn’t sustain it- chalked it up to placebo or it being early. At school when talking I felt like my voice would shift to a lower part I wasn’t used to then go back so when I got home I tested my range my lowest note 3 days ago and what it has been all year d3# in a straining way but I easily hit a b2 and could feel a physical difference on singing. I know this is very very early and my voice probably won’t drop but just my range changing is very crazy to me it being day five only

I know t is different for everyone and was wondering if anyone had a similar timeline of changes this early and if so what did the rest of their timeline look like specifically in the next few months what could I reasonably expect especially with physical changes voice facial hair ect

Throwaway, on the off chance of someone I know IRL seeing this.

I'm 26 years old. Been socially transitioned for over a decade. HRT for 1.5 years with no problems, I get my labs done every 6 months and my levels are fine. I'm non-disclosing, and could probably count on one hand the number of times I've been misgendered in the last 6-8 months, it happens extremely rarely, but I think it's due to having very deep, cis-passing voice, because I feel like my face hasn't masculine at all? I'm regularly mistaken for being 18-20 year old.

Please care more about my transition/safety than my feelings! The main reason I'm asking is because I'm starting to get very anxious about public washrooms.

Taken a few days ago. (Edit: I don't post on Reddit very often, even on my main, so I wasn't sure the right way to add pictures. Let me know if I screwed it up.)

Does anyone else have a chest that still makes them insecure but are flat enough to where binders sometimes make them look larger? This is my issue. I just don't want to add any bulk to it. I'm like 32 inches around. They are still visibly two hunks of meat with a shirt on. Sports bras make me feel like a girl and not flat enough.

I like piercings, and it’s not like I can pass anyway because I live with my unaffirming and rude family, but I feel like id enjoy having a “masculine” piercing. Idk what ones men have though. I knew a really great guy with a tongue piercing, but don’t want to flat out copy him lol

Hey folks, I am a trans intersex guy who's been on T for 8 years now. I have a pretty good amount of bottom growth (2.5") and am planning to get metoidioplasty with UL and keeping the v-hole. However surgery is probably a couple years away due to transportation issues mostly. In the meantime I am curious about getting a dick piercing. I have heard that this may or may not affect results, most likely not, so that's not too much of a concern. I'm mostly curious if anyone else has gotten one and their satisfaction with it. If I do get one, it would be a little ring in my foreskin sort of at the tip. Do any of y'all have piercings down there and has it benefited your dysphoria at all? Also is there somewhere in particular I can find pictures online so I can kinda get a better idea of how it will look? Thanks in advance ;)
