All of that I find to be true. We could use more of your high-level input on here. The distinction between circulating T and T blocked from receptors is confusing to everyone. My understanding is that MPA and CPA work more straightforwardly than do spironolactone and bica.
Someone posted yesterday that Powers claims that with Bica you don't need duta anymore but in my personal experience, DHT in my face follicles can still cause DHT synthesis and dermatitis. My removed beard hasn't grown back but it got scratchier after desisting from spironolactone last May and then again at 12.5mg of oral min. Hence I halvede the dosage about a week ago.
The main person at transfeminine sciences still state that spironolactone is safer than bica in the long-run. People tout bica not as being safer but because it has far fewer short-term sides at common dosaging amounts. Some of this can be dealt with via titration but I see guys on the experimental threads using enzalutamide who aren't growing hair apparently. Of course you aren't because you aren't taking anything yet. There have been fairly long transcribed debates about this posted at Transfeminine Sciences. You might have to search a little because they are trying to be less anti-Powers.

I have been using Life-Flo P4 Cream but not really on a sustained basis since I also cycle prometrium but I do see data indicating that application to the breasts can increase the breast size of mammals like guinea pigs. My situation is one of post hoc ergo prompter hoc, meaning that I previously used a lot of estrogen on my scalp, hair and breasts and had almost phenomenal breast growth but that continues being anecdotal even though I think it works, both locally and systemically and people can try it on hair, face, genital skin so it goes farther and on breast, hips, thighs and *** for MtF's seeking to be fleshier. P4 might work for all of these things but largely we do not know. Powers believes that it works but he keeps no data which makes evaluating his claims difficult.
Is this specialist as smart as Dr. Rassman?
You have to remember titration of dosaging before making any categorical statements. I think that the person Aly and another whose name escapes me (Kay) are far more knowledgeable than Dr. Rassman because HRT is something that you have to learn that goes from the age of 12 to 60 or however many years after puberty. They study sides like crazy and they both answer questions on the reddit sites for MtF's just like Rassman. Rassman was very wrong about using topical min orally and I lost some respect for him there as he claimed that only Loniten was likely to make it through a liver pass. Of course for Loniten, you need a prescription. Our way you do not and it only costs pennies a day. He is geared towards developing business via Tressless but the folks at Transfeminine Science do not. But he knows a lot about transplants especially and topical min and oral finasteride. Powers has some interesting ideas that could be true but he is a doctor not a researcher.
Treatment doesn't universally include Bicalutamide.. As i've said before, libido is not as much issue as the gyno in the case of Bica, and surgery is not so much available to everybody that it is "a solvable problem".
Well. He is a young guy and trying to sort things out. A lot of MtF's are on a bica kick as it's promoted by the notorious Dr, Will Powers, love him or dislike him but he is the breast growth guru for MtF's purportedly. He refuses to prescribe R.I.'s to either males or females which is a strange thing for a doctor to do when many FtM's have baldness issues that finasteride might help.

Gynecology is nothing compared to baldness. If you think otherwise, hair is not so dear to you
If you go bald before 20, you may not even try to use Finasteride or Duta
If a person goes bald and is not helped by Duta, and he is also afraid to drink AA, he should leave this forum and shave his head. He is doomed.
Proof that @jamesbooker1975 is an idiot lol
I have already answered many times why estrogen is counterproductive and disadvantageous in terms of results and side effects. Estrogen either doesn't help at all, or it completely destroys your T and causes severe feminization. We need an intermediate option, not this
I have found him to be short-tempered and rude and I have tried to make sure that when I answer questions or someone disagrees with me, that I don't call them "stupid" or act as though they are bothering me. There's another unsuccessful guy from the @bridgeburn site who rarely posts there anymore who was similar. He started a thread that ended abruptly without any of the promised pics. That's why I am adamant about pics being taking over time which lessens the tendency of people to use unfair lighting or to use hairspray or other things that cling to and thicken hair. Most of us are too scarred to post though and I get that. Pictures of our heads can be like being naked to many of us. I still don't want to post my crown much because that was where I first noticed hair loss.
Yes but currently your intermediate option if it's not provera is the null set. Everything you tout increases estrogen levels and/or lowers T levels. Bica is often touted as best for breast growth and AA's can start incipient breast growth just like estrogen.
Bicalutamide does not raise E too much to induce significant breast growth. But even if you take a dose of 75mg at which it is possible, it still does not feminize as much as the destruction of T by estrogen. Bicalutamide leads to demasculinization, but not feminization. You do not lose muscle mass, your fat is not redistributed. Don't equate this with estrogen therapy, because Bica doesn't destroy your T like estrogen does.
