So no T equals no E equals no more booby growth. Is there another source of E besides what is created by aromatase from T? This, if I am on the right track, becomes an important question, n'est pas?

Sammie, I think you're right in concept. Transsexual women who undergo SRS need to take synthetic estrogen for the rest of their lives. Unuchs (castrated males) survive on just the testosterone produced in the adrenals. Last time I looked, they don't grow breasts of any significance. For us, taking PM for example, I doubt the testes atrophy so much that they stop producing testosterone. Very little (free) testosterone is needed by the male body. Remember, the normal male produces way more T than is needed. Most of it gets bound up in SHBG and albumin.
