I would like to know if the quality of feminization is dependent on how to lower his testosterone level to an equivalent level.
No, it's a number of factors and not all relating to HRT. But estradiol (free E2) and inhibiting DHT are very important. Monitoring your SHBG helps you make sure you're on the right track too…that measures the amount of free hormones (what's being delivered to target cells) in your blood. Losing weight and toning your body will help you feminize too.
I don't understand why your doctor isn't prescribing anti-androgens. Ask your doctor if he follows the WPATH guidelines for treating trans patients. If he/she does then they'd certainly be prescribing anti-androgens by now.
The WPATH guidelines are: and I'll list the upper end.
For inhibiting Testosterone:
50 ng/dL
For E2 (Estradiol)
200 pg/mL
And you wouldn't have to do the following if they followed the WPATH:
Two ways:
-1- Anti-androgens that the doctor prescribes with a prescription.
-2- And the 10 to 20 capsules that we swallow every day PM, RR, SP, EGCg, MSM etc.
