Hell, sometimes trans women need testosterone. I am, and I do. My body doesn't really make much hormones naturally anymore. If I take nothing, my testosterone levels are lower than those in cis women. I take a very very small dose to get my T levels back up into the cis female range. Men and women both have testosterone and estrogen. And while the ratios vary, you still need both, regardless of your gender.
Though have to be careful with it not to tank estrogen levels completely, turns out men actually do need it as well.
Too low estrogen can cause joint pain, fatigue, low libido and hindered muscle growth.
Better to cut down to low bodyfat to limit aromatization as much as possible and then slowly raise testosterone levels to a point where estrogen gets highest tolerable and then add in non-aromatizing steroids, like masteron, which does have a slight benefit of acting like a mild anti estrogenic as well.
Then eat and lift like your life depended on it.
I have Kleinfelter Syndrome, I was on anastrazole until I found an Endo who specializes in hormones. Turns out I was being prescribed way too much testosterone, keeping my estrogen levels in check was fun. Now I no longer need to take anastrazole and that's a load off,
Sorry to hear about that. When did you find that one out?
I don't have anything that severe, just a messed up hormonal system possibly due to rotating shift work as that was the only thing i couldn't fix after going through all the common and later doctors recommendations to boost testosterone levels. Eventually it was to either quit my job and hope that that was it or just start replacement therapy, though similarly the dosages in the beginning were too high causing mood swings and sensitive nipples at which point i did bloodwork and pretty much halved the dosage which solved mood swings, no sensitive nipples anymore and bloodwork showed estrogen levels to be within normal range.
Found out at 38. Was tired all the time, went to see doctor, did bloodwork and my testosterone barely registered on the test. Was sent for genetic testing and found out I'm chromosomally mosaic. So I have both Kleinfelter and Jacob's syndromes. Both conditions make you very tall, I'm 6' 7". Jacob's is rarely diagnosed, about 1 in 1000 males and less has been studied about it. Being tall, having ADHD/Autism (which I'm currently waiting to see a psychologist about) and asthma are the common signs.
Last time I saw someone making fun of Europe not being manly enough they tripped on Europes front lawn and got stuck with their ass on top of the fountain for the last four years.
I eat world class Tiramisu while your “civilisation” crumbles. Your manliness means nothing.
It's actual, honest to goodness, transparent Russian propaganda because they realise they don't need to be clever anymore to reach their target audience.

Real men need testosterone supplementation?
Ok, cool, so we agree that trans men are real men.

Funny thing is, excess testosterone, beyond normal values, converts into estrogen and thats when the boobs start to grow.

Estrogen is stored in the boobs?

Exactly, just like pee is stored in the balls.

They'll be put on anastrazole as well, the gym bros have perfected the process.

Yeah that's one of the ways to limit it.
