THANKS We all love a compliment!!!

Believe it or not my libido is about as strong as its ever been and my T has been under 10ng/dl for at least 6 months, under 25ng/dl for at least 8 and its been so low I had to have a special test that's very sensitive and usually only used for hypogonadism and it was 3.8ng/dl, other readings were 6 and 7 ng/dl since I started HRT... Thats basically NONE and only coming from the adrenals and even then likely suppressed... But I dont really need a test to know that Even my doc was alarmed at how low it is but I set him straight there
I feel that E is also essential to libido, especially with low T, look what happens to cis women when it falls off a cliff during menopause.... They lose their libido... Its different than on T but its still very much there including surprisingly good "male" function for me anyway
I know P can be converted to T but I dont feel it has much effect on my libido... I think the spiro and dutas and total E predominance would block that anyway...

Yes, elimaniting androgen/DHT ip even in Mtf has long term consequence. The biological affects of androgens are are still needed. The assumptation of testosterone being poison is often misinterpreted. Testosterone is the sex hormone that converts to all estrogens, without T Mtf wouldn't make the necessary conversion to transition. I think it's a mistake to reduce testosterone, the reduction is needed at DHT...... and the reason is quite obvious.

T is poison to the MtF who has gone through male puberty... Its what makes the male genes or the Y chromosome work.... Just have to look at an XY CAIS woman to see that.... Ive had more than enough T

I dont want any at all anymore thanks I get that T is the source of E naturally even in cis women I think Ive read... I also take Dutasteride to nearly completely block DHT and a large dose of spiro, 300mg daily... Id say T is completely out of the picture here.... My BP is 100/60 and complete labs are perfect I used to suffer from BPH but now the prostate seems to be gone...

There are some TS women out there who are 30-40 years post op who have done just fine without much T and of course there are also castrated eunics who manage to live a long time with very little sex hormone of any type at all...

Maybe Im wrong though, some MtF have amazing feminization on low dose E even with a low male/high female range of T I guess it boils down to individual genetics.... I dont want to try it anytime soon though...

I hear yeah, and I understand what your saying. Personally?, I'm not offended by T lol........it's T's metabolite brother DHT that I've got a bone to pick with..... atm.

T......we all have (we need)......it's DHT that's the poison if you want boobs, curves, Mtf.
