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,

Yes E does come from T and natal woman have the boilogy to do the conversion much more effectively than natal males. In natal males, the relevant tissues atrophy as part of their development.

In transwomen the T has to be reduced to female levels because the two sex hormones are largely anatagonstic. Since we cannot reduce our own T (by converting it en masse to E) then ALL sex hormone production is turned off and female hormones supplied from an external source.

For example, I receive an 3 monthly injection of Triptorelin to shut down all gondal hormone production. This means that the only source of T in my body is the adrenal glands, just like natal women. It chemically castrates me and the effects of very low T become apparent very quickly, but it allows allows my estrogen to work unopposed. After my GRS is done I can stop the Triptorelin and I will only have adrenal T.

It may also be worth point out that even natal women typically have twice as much T in their bodies as E. Natal men typically have 400 times as much T as E. My hormones are in the female range. On my last blood test I had 550pmol/L of E and 1.6 nmol/L of T, but 1000 pmol = 1 nmol so my E was 0.55 nmol/L or 1/3rd of my T level. Estrogen is a powerful hormone so small levels of it are very effective.

For reference, my T level is 1.6, but normal male levels go from 7 to 30. Normal E for males is around 50 pmol/L = 0.05nmol/L

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!.

Plenty of transwomen are known to grow C, D, E and bigger cups, but the majority usually get an A or B
