Questions and observations for mtf trans (adult themes warning!!)

(Sorry I have no clue how to break this for the main page)

So people who pay attention to my posts know I have a back ground in Social Science, aeronautical engineering, and studying to be a Medical Assistant. I started HRT roughly 1 year, 6 months ago. A whole list of effects are brought up, hair, skin, mood, breasts, sexual desire, ect. and other subjective effects. As time goes on and we practice more medical procedures I'm finding effect that are extremely curious.

Today during tests for tidal volume in the lungs (lung capacity) I found that rather than holding near or in the male range limits as you might expect, it's solidly within female, after repeated tests, by multiple students. In addition my teacher (18 year medical assistant) commented that my sternum is small (female sized). In addition a CT scan done while in the military 3 years ago found my pituitary gland was abnormal size for a male, and was female sized, as well as an overall "female dimension," as the tech put it. The more I get into my physical traits, genetic as well hormonal," my curiosity spikes. I would hope to get more detailed testing done specifically geared toward transgendered study.

Until now I've only read sparse accounts of physical and hormonal changes by mtf transgendered. I was hoping to hear of any other experiences.
