Causes me to wonder how much is in the placebo effect. By willingly taking something that is an estrogen, one is crossing a certain line. At least, for me, I've crossed it. I tried going on pharma HRT through a local written consent endo, though the wait time is astronomical, and it might be faster to go the traditional therapy route, so I'm on PM until then. I really dislike the whole therapy thing, and am still avoiding it, though honestly it needs to happen so I can move forward.

The broke college student at the time couldn't ever envision being able to transition the proper way, much less ever afford the SRS I wanted then and still want. Alcohol can be cheap, and also it's other effects can dull some of the dysphoria. That alcohol is an aromatase is correct, though there's a whole lot of everyday drunks that are masculine men...
