Nah I did not mean estrogen, I was thinking of progesterone.

However, transwomen are not taking progesterones at all

That's true, I never thought about that before. I wonder why. Then again, we are probably spending more time thinking about it than the doctors who prescribe these hormones, unfortunately...

I might dig around later and see if I can find something but I thought there were other non-hormone sources (or not directly from hormone sources). Have to take off for now though.

I wonder why.

I think it is because it makes no visual difference in looks. So it is useles or maybe even harmful.

While testosterone is all of the male hormones combined in one. That is why it is much worse for women's body, than estrogen for men's body.

And as far as I know there were actually researches about progesterones, but they were during "oldschool transsexuals era" and not nowadays.
