Initially, when I became more aware of all of this I had assumed they took both. They prescribe us both to decrease the same risks with hormonal contraceptives, so I thought it was weird that they wouldn't have an arsenal. I would have thought the whole process would have been more intricate, honestly. Since it's a cycle involving estrogen, progesterone, FSH and LH too, it would have made sense to me to try to replicate all of that (assuming testes have gone to ball heaven). Since physiology is still male though, I guess that all the other shit going on surrounding those hormones won't work the way they would in women anyway though.

That's a mistake. Hardly any TIMs nowadays have their testicles removed. 90-95% have intact, functioning dicks & balls. It's why they have invented the terms "feminine penis," "lady dick" & "girl cock."

These figures are from trans advocacy orgs and trans medicine specialists. One study by doctors where they actually saw the people IRL & reviewed their complete medical histories showed that only 4.7% of US TIMs had undergone genital surgery. That's more reliable data than the typical "research" put forward, which usually relies on what trans people say in anonymous online surveys.

Lots of these guys lie about having had genital surgery. Gigi Gorgeous publicly pretended for years that he'd had genital surgery, then one day he made a video revealing he had misled everyone. Jenner did the same thing. Claimed publicly that he'd said goodbye to the dick & balls, then several years later he said he didn't actually get rid of them, just retired them.
