Ashley Hemming says his voice didn't break - leaving him sounding more like a woman than a man - and he was often called 'miss' or 'love' while working in a cafe
A short man with a 'squeaky' voice was repeatedly mistaken for a woman until his 20s - until finally going through puberty in his 20s. Ashley Hemming claims he always felt behind his classmates at school as they started to go through puberty and shoot past him in height.
Ashley said he first noticed his 'differences' aged 13 and always felt there was something wrong with him but was too embarrassed to go to the doctors. It was only when he finally plucked up the courage to book a GP appointment in August 2020 with encouragement from his family that he was diagnosed with hormonal condition male hypogonadism and started to receive help.
"I was still a small kid with a high voice. At first I just thought I was behind in puberty and just thought I'd give myself some time but as I got older, I felt embarrassed to speak out about. "I never had the confidence to ask a girl out as I struggled with how I looked and my voice. I grew my hair out during Covid and I got a new job in a cafe and when I used to serve people they would say 'thank you miss' or 'thank you love'.
Ashley says after two months of taking the hormone boosters in 2021, his voice began to drop and nine months later he began to develop facial hair. He also claims he grew a whopping five inches, from 5ft 10in to 6ft 3in, and has become more confident in himself as he continues to take the hormone injections.
