Eva, (I've got nothing but love for you).
Inserted in most mtf primers is the quote "taking more hormones doesn't get more results, it actually slows transitioning down". I get it, who wants to believe it's gonna take 2-5 years of work to appear feminine (insert NBE for GM breast growth).
The fact that high dose estradiol actually slows down aromatase and increases testosterone is not well understood, although it's not been proven yet that it converts it back to T, that part I don't doubt will be proven soon lol (sorry for the confusion). He'll just the other day I found a DHT link to estrogen receptors in genetic males, (once thought impossible) so who knows.
I also get why docs believe in reducing T levels to natal females levels. Imo it just doesn't make sense, estrogen comes from testosterone, in fact there is multiple pathways for natal males to enhance E by aromatase.
I also won't except what science says about males (even mtf) can't grow a set boobs past a B-cup, such a contradiction lol. So imo T is not poison, it's just a source to get to where I'm going, just like E is. But what do I know, I still don't know shit!.
