Why Do Women Bodybuilders Have Deep Voices?

Why do women bodybuilders have deep voices?
It is because of the testosterone.
Are you sure that the testosterone is to blame?
Normal women cannot build muscle to the extreme that male body builders do. Female body builders are either injecting testosterone or have unnaturally high levels.
And testosterone makes the voice lower.
When a guy hits puberty, testosterone levels rise. He builds more muscle, starts growing facial hair and his voice drops.
And he starts to suffer from periodic drops in IQ when his blood starts to flow elsewhere. Don't all men have high levels of testosterone?
Male body builders may have high levels of testosterone, but there are some who inject it or other hormones or drugs to build up even more muscle. And women who are body builders have to add to it, because their bodies don't make enough testosterone to come out looking like a body builder.
Women can be fit without using drugs.
That's true. But looking lean and fit, like a volley ball player, isn't the same as having massive pecs.
So women body builders have to use testosterone to get that look.
And with significant, or prolonged use, it starts to alter the body.
They get massive muscles.
And they start developing male secondary characteristics. The voice box changes, like a boy's does during adolescence.
They still have breasts.
Only because the breasts had already developed. But the reverse happens when a man takes lots of estrogen, often developing breasts because the hormones trigger secondary sexual characteristic growth despite your genetic gender.
OMG, that's horrible. If she's got a deep voice, isn't she going to grow a beard?
Ever heard of the bearded woman? These were often women with unnaturally high testosterone, big, burly and bearded.
But female body builders are hairless.
So are the guys, for the same reasons. They're all waxing, shaving and oiling to look good for the judges.
But now she may have to shave her face and chest? Oh, disgusting.
Funny you don't think about how she's altering her very body in an effort.
