    Pills are generally less effective because they have to be processed by the liver and taking a high enough dose for mono therapy to be viable would probably require an amount of pills that might not be great for the liver in the longrun.

      I don't know anything about using them for monotherapy but estradiol pills are usually taken sublingually and don't do a liver pass.

      Is this also true if I’m looking to have minimal physical effects? I’m effectively microdosing.

        Monotherapy might not be possible if the dose of E isn't high enough to suppress the T. Depends on what you're going for, but my worry is that a lower mono dose would have little to no effect

        Idk how that works. At the end of the no-boob article posted the other day there was a google doc that was difficult to access describing a (former?) femboy’s experience on “HRT lite,” and the concoction of drugs taken. https://web.archive.org/web/20201124124911/https://docs.google.com/document/d/1PYWaZaHazpbyOtGEWIq4krsVmqLxENIhFqJW4fBuXv8/view
