Changes (is this typical?)

    So, I have always been hairy and always had a lower voice BUT in the last year, my facial hair has doubled to the point that I can grow a patchy beard along my jawline and under my chin. I have a less prominent mustache but it all must be shaved off daily (even twice if I go out in the evening). I have also gotten hairier in other places across my body but have randomly almost stopped growing hair on the backs of my calves. Additionally, I now have mild acne, which I have never had this badly or consistently before (mostly where I have facial hair and on my back). And my voice is changing (getting more consistently low whereas is cracked/ fluctuated before and generally sounds more adult).

    Are these typically changes for someone my age? Like a body transitioning from young adult to adult adult? Thoughts?

    Sounds like typical changes for a young adult, except for hair stopping to grow, and acne. Wouldn't hurt to see a doctor.

    I'd say it's normal. Body hair continues to grow with age. Speaking for myself, my facial hair is now much thicker and darker than five years ago.

    Oh, I should have said that the doctor thinks that I'm ok based on blood work.

    If the doctor says you're okay then don't worry. I got a little hairier at your age too.

    OK. Good so, it's normal for cismales. I wonder if it's normal for biological females, though... It could be that I have naturally high androgen levels...
