    yo, trans girl here.

    i just want to plug estradiol-only here. i use patches because they are the smoothest on my levels. i used to take Spiro but it fucked up my kidneys and i started passing out in the heat. turns out in europe they dont use it over health concerns ( and possible breast growth inhibition). so yeah

      Spiro should honestly not be recommended for 99% of people. I only use it because most other anti androgens have progestergenic effects, and I had liver concerns with high blood pressure. I would’ve changed by now, but I won’t even need t suppression soon.

      Hell, I’m not on anything, and that sounds like a decent flavor combination
