Every time i could read closer into a story like this, it turned out there was some form of animal abuse going on. Keeping the dogs caged, beating them, training them for aggression, stuff like that. This isn't behavior you see with a dog socialized to be a family dog and emotional companion, this is behavior you see with an animal that had the misfortune of ending up with humans that wanted to turn them into a weapon.

They're conservatives, wanting things to be predictable, stale, out of date and not cool is kinda their entire ideology.
yeah, take it slow, it takes a while for the levels to readjust
yeah, they don't seem usable for that. You can realistically taper further by spreading dosing intervals, tho - if you take a quarter pill daily, you can try and switch to every other day. Cypro has a long af half life, a friend of mine takes half a 10mg pill per week and she's as femme as it gets. After you've been on HRT long enough, supressing the LH/FSH/T axis works quite well on a high enough dose of E alone, i also hear a lot of unoperated transfems switch over to monotherapy at some point.
In the end, you have to wait a while and see how this affects your body and your mood and gauge dosage from that. Like, when i go down to 2.5mg/d, after a few weeks i notice there's hair in some places that gets coarser and grows faster than i want it to, so i went back to 5mg/d again.
I got started on 10mg, and T actually didn't increase at all when i halved my dose after a year on HRT and decent E2 levels.
i mean, some people get tortured with doses of 100 or even 150mg, it's honestly ridiculous. I'm on 5 and that might be a bit much in the long run.
For me the pipeline was more like workers of the world unite -> holy shit i'm hot -> who wants to be assimilated into the goth polycule?
