8. Basically- cut testosterone- take estrogens

Safest to do under a drs supervision but maybe trying to do it on the cheap. Could be doing it with telemedicine or some alternative heath practitioner. Nurse practitioners can prescribe some of these meds. Need prescriptions for anti androgens & oral estrogens but not for cream estrogens.
