I know this isn't herbal, but I am currently on Testosterone. From what I hear, when you take testosterone, it aromatizes into estrogen after a period of time, so I am taking an anti-aromatize inhibitor, to combat that effect. I was wondering how most have never thought or even heard of such an effect, I know testosterone isn't viably available, I've experienced mild feminization and breast growth, while limiting my AI use. Just wanted to throw the idea out there, that taking synthetic testosterone can act as estrogen, thus thoroughly speeding up the process, as well as destroying your ability to naturally produce testosterone, otherwise leading to true feminization.

The concept that TRT causes your body to cease natural production of T is not universally accepted. Many researchers believe that the shutdown of T production in TRT patients is simply the progression of the low T condition (which is why most of the patients are on TRT to begin with).
It's also not universal that men on TRT see an increase in aromatase, and not all are prescribed an AI along with the TRT.
You're right it isn't "natural", and probably one of the most dangerous ways to approach feminization. Are you on TRT for a reason, or are you self medicating? If it is for a reason then I assume you have been diagnosed with low-T and could achieve feminization fairly easily with PM.
Good luck, and be careful!!!
