How many of us here have tried them?
I have not.
How many want to try them?
So long as pm continues to work for me, I see no reason to use synthetics.
What stops us trying them , even on low non transition doses?
Money and convenience might be some reasons. It's probably simpler and cheaper just to use pm than to go to a therapist to get diagnosed with GID and have regular visits with a physician to prescribe/monitor hormones.
I agree with Lenneth about my interest in using synthetics. Pm is simply a more suitable option for me. Furthermore, I doubt how well I would fit in the DSM's gender dysphoria model. I'm more focused on achieving an androgynous appearance than doing a full transition. I would describe my gender identity as being more like a third gender or lacking a particular strong identification with the male gender than feeling like I'm a woman trapped in a male body.
