    this is bullshit, estrogen doesn’t convert into testosterone. people often make this assumption because it’s true for the T to E pathway

      My understanding was that it wouldn’t convert to T, but it will suppress its own effects and be less feminizing than a lower dose. This lines up with my experience where it felt like my progress stalled without reverting. E is much safer than T in that you can have much higher levels without causing serious complications, but you still want to be in a sweet spot.
