Pills + spironolactone was worlds better than nothing at all for the time I had to use them, but the spikes did NOT help my emotional state, and nobody should have to take spiro cause it sucks and there’s better options (monotherapy is gr8 tho)
Affordability is for sure relative so I’m not touching that (it’s the cheapest DIY method tho) but they’re a god send compared to pills in just feeling better, and more stable levels prob do ultimately benefit feminization tbr
Even tho I agree with this stance 100%, i keep seeing a lot of nonbinary, baby trainknees, and non trans ppl bring up this point in response to our healthcare being stripped away (not saying the OP is doing this). Like hrt isn’t necessary to be trans but for majority of us, it’s the most important part of our transition, why pretend it isn’t?
