Thank you for your learned response.
Hope I don’t frustrate you by being dense,

You're welcome. No worries, feel free to ask questions...anytime , I don't mind.

but I gather that nettle actually increases aromatization to estrogen, but to what degree? Perhaps it is ideal for me, to mitigate over-suppression by my intake of 3000 mg. chrysin daily.

Or, drop the nettle and decrease the chrysin?. Take a look at Boron, it ideally promotes free T and beneficial for Estrogen too, in my opinion it does the same thing chrysin and nettle does (together)...but also works as an anti-inflammatory, protects against heavy-metal toxicity, improves the brains cognitive performance and other helpful technical stuff lol. Chrysin is understood to have poor bioavailability, so one would have to take a significant amount to achieve desired biological effects.

In other words, I think one could walk the tightrope of expressing both E and T (but with more Free T expression) with boron, but not too feminizing. I get you're trying to be the best version of yourself, which btw I totally respect. At one point in time I felt the same way (@ your goal), but then estrogen did it's dance to my synapses and here I am...boom," in Transition " lol.
