    Serious question: Recreational estrogen when taken like that would probably fuck with your body's natural hormone production, right? That sounds really unhealthy

      There are many, many reasons why the OP is a bad idea. It's not worth trying to analyse it through a serious lens.

      yeah if you take it in small doses it actually can increase your T and even cause balding. you need to talk to a doc and make a plan if youre trying to do anything beyond typical mtf or ftm hrt. i know plenty of enbies for example that went on full E to get tits then stopped once development was done and hormones went back to normal. but always try to get in with a doc before trying any of this, you need to be monitored, its important.

        Bold of you to assume doctors know fuck shit about regular transitioning, let alone what should happen for unusual amounts and timings. I have had to educate my doctor and endocrinologist every time I start seeing a new one. It is infurating.

          yeah you should be going to ones that have a lot of experience with this. i personally drove like 7 hours back and forth to get my first appointment, though telehealth is way more common now and afaik there are some good options.
