and I've always had very dark hair on my belly and chest/breast, is this normal if I was a normal girl? I always wonder why that happens, even without any meds. like I'm I already producing more testoserone than other females? My voice is a little bit deep... I've noticed it mostly for the past 2 yrs... I think I have a higher than normal(girl) sex drive, I often times exp. mood swings, and I don't know what is happening to me? I haven't started any meds, except for my ones for anxioty and depression... Is this unusul? Should I be happy, as I feel confused...

I stuttered so when I was between ages 12-15 I squicked my voice, but not on purpose, it was because of stuttering...

This could very well be normal. Some people have an odd system that causes them to grow hair in odd places. Some women have facial mustaches, or beards-look at grandma if you want better ideas.
There is also a condition that IS known to medical science where the person has an extra cromosome. I know I read about this one chick that didn't realize how awkward her situation was until about 30 or something. She married a man (apparently she was a normal everyday woman) and then discovered she could not conceive. Several tests later, she discovered she could not conceive because this woman was technically supossed to be a male at birth, but for some reason the testosterone did not develope at the proper stage of fetis growth, so the remaining estrogen production continued. I think her Chromosome situation was XYX? Where only two chromosomes are required for "normal" humans to determine sex, she somehow had both sides of the coin with a odd "mutation" of sorts if you will pardon the crude word. (Imagine if you have a string of letters making a sentence so that it makes sense to read aloud--ie DNA/gene sequence coding- but then, as the chain of letters is being read loud, someone else had the ability to grab on the the last word of the sentence and gain improper context of the sentence-a possible enzyme or hormone that triggers on the last chromosome, in this case incorrectly as she had three instead of two)
It is also possible that as your body matures and grows with age, medication, and cell stimulation (whatever the cause of this cell stemulation is) might be manipulating your hormone production as it does with certain grandma's causeing odd things to happen to their bodies. It is not uncommon.
If you are actually this worried about your gender, please...by all means see a doctor and validate your concerns with your doctor. the Doc will definitely do what it takes to satisfy your curiousity, although I am certain it will end up costing quite a bit in lab tests and result confirmations.

The mood swings are probably attributable to the meds you're on. Make sure that you eat and drink carefully (decaff coffee easy on the red meat, little or no alcohol - depending on the meds) so that you're not altering the effect of the medication you're on.
The hair and the deep voice? It's not the commonest, but some females have that problem. Looks like you've landed on your feet.
Best Wishes

In order of most likely;
1) You see what you want to believe. Or, you pay more attention to your body than other people do.
2) Your ethnic background may involve more pubescent (hairy) people.
3) You have a hormone imbalance.
4) You have a genetic thing going on.
All the stuff you're talking about is normal enough. If you're trans, sounds like a good deal for you :). If you think, on the other hand, there's some bodily condition making you more masculine or more apt to transition, you may want to see a doctor and see what she says.

some people do have hormonal imbalances and its pretty normal, i'm said to have a little more testoterone than usual, so i do suffer from hair loss (on my head).
so you might be going through the same "problem" (in your case i guess its a blessing in disguise....lol) but dont worry, once you have consulted your dr, (s)he'll put you on the correct dosage and the mood swings will just go away...
so just sit back and enjoy what your body is naturally producing! some would even say that it is meant to be ;)
good luck and chill man.... there is nothing to worry about

well the hair is genetic but if you want to be a guy then that works out for you. the mood swings could be from the anti-depression drugs.

Who knows, i know straight girls who has to wax their back hair and moutstache.( it's just hair, grows more for some people) Nothing to worry about. I think you should be happy that you are ahead of the game without doing anything. :)
