Many African American women identify as transgender but in terms of how many use hormones, I am uncertain. It does seem that there is much more of a wig culture and people expect perhaps older folks to wear them and diva culture, usually you wear one because you are seeking something that says, "I'm fabulous".....
The Black trans women I've known have mostly taken hormones, though I think many went DIY due to cost or lack of insurance. On an interesting note, one that I had dated a few years ago shaved her head, but still looked very feminine, so HRT worked wonders for her facial feminization.

Wig/weave culture mainly stems from the fact that afro textured hair takes a long time to grow to a point where it appears cosmetically long, also it's to keep from doing too much damage to the natural hair through straighteners. Afro textured hair grows in a tight coil pattern most of the time and requires constant detangling so as not to look "packed in". There were times where my friends thought I had gotten a haircut because I hadn't had time to comb my hair out properly.

In the wig/weave regard, I'd only wear wigs if it were for a "character", like for a cosplay or some other aesthetic project. At the very least, I'd like my hair to be strong enough and grow to a point where extensions would be viable to achieve various, longer styles while also showing people that I do have "enough" natural hair and am not using extensions to cheat. Dreadlocks are likely out of the question even if HRT is successful. (Dreadlocks were going to be the hairstyle I "retired" on since they are a semi-permanent style.)

Is it possible that taking a vitamin K2 supplyment while applying topical estrogen b17 would negate feminising effects? Or would it just stop receptor binding in the follicle too?

"I used monotherapy 150mg. The usually cancer dosage. My sebum production disappeared but never got regrow. And also got little small gyno in the left side, isn’t visible but it’s there."

From an old member, he tried it but got no success (esrly 20's) some exprience more regrowth on Spironolactone than Bicalutamide.

I wonder if taking Eplerenone has a synergistic effect within Bicalutamide in order to experience regrowth, or what has to be done to experience regrowth on Bica?!

I still don't have gynecomastia. My friend does not have it either, although he has been taking Bicalutamide for 2 months with estrogen It will be funny if she never shows up

Wait... which friend?! Lol

And having no gyno is a bad sign imo.

I wanted to say familiar. I know a Russian who takes 50 mg of Bicalutamide + 2 clicks of Estrogel. I have kept his contacts so that I know how he is doing. I try to collect as much information as possible about such modes in order to have at least some statistics

Yes, this may be a bad sign. Or perhaps a good one. Perhaps gynecomastia will appear later. Ein said she started forming after 3 months

High levels of testosterone will be high levels of DHT, and if I'm not mistaken DHT binds better to the receptor than bicalutamide.

If you are sensitive to him and your problem is him, things probably got bad.

So use 5ar blocker toghether i think so .
