transHey all, I have a question that I thought of when I was giving my friend the Cliffs Notes version of what hormones do for trans people.
MTF's take Spiro (Spironolactone I believe) to block their testosterone. Does anyone know if there is anything comparable out there for FTM's that would block estrogen?
If it was possible to block estrogen, would my own natural T (which is higher than it should be for female, but still well below normal male level) have any more effect in masculinizing things? I'm pre-T so a head start might be nice, as well as to be able to do something with what my body has right now, and to cut back on the estrogen floating around. (Maybe stop periods?)
If anyone has any ideas on this I'd appreciate hearing them.
Edit: Since it wasn't so clear, I'm pretty much pre-everything at this point.
