THIS! So fucking much!
It took me 6 months just to get HRT, I bet the surgery for gynecomastia doesn’t even take half of that to get. I hate this double standard 😔

      Testosterone doesn’t reverse or prevent gynecomastia, using T when you don’t need it could actually cause gynecomastia because excess testosterone converts to estrogen.

        Yeah, aromatization (conversion of too much T into E) is weird.
        I guess it makes sense that it wouldn’t be the other way around, since during pregnancy, E levels are astronomical.
        But still…what was the plan here, evolution? I guess…to combat complete androgen insensitivity syndrome?
