Anonymous asked: Is it possible or advisable to not have a dominant set of sex hormones - like, to have a hormone system that can't be described as "estrogen dominant" or "testosterone dominant"?
My understanding is that it is possible, but you run a risk of osteoporosis and other health problems in the long-term. That’s really something you want to talk to an endocrinologist about, not me– it’s p experimental.
Actually, as long as your overall amount of the hormones affecting those things is sufficient, there will be no specific health problems. Having no dominant type of hormone most commonly occurs in the absence of both, which is less healthy in the very long term, but it’s perfectly possible to have some amount of both instead (eg. afab with a reference model endocrine system taking a light amount of testosterone, or amab using partial doses of antiandrogens along with estrogen). Or one can supplement with SARMs and SERMS to target the specific locations to avoid problems while having low overall levels of regular testosterone and estrogen (eg. increasing bone density without having that many effects elsewhere by targeting the hormone receptors in bones).
Of course, this is all ~purely academic~, as I may not give medical advice and am thus not giving medical advice to anyone on the topic. And taking medical advice from strange convicted medical criminals on the internet is inadvisable anyway, and if one takes my words as medical advice it’s their own damn fault even though I definitely try to be v v responsible with my words so that in the case someone were to take them as medical advice nonetheless (even though it’s v v unadvisable to do so) they would not suffer from it too badly.
Nonetheless, I can very much describe the things someone wanting to do such things might do. So if you want to hear a quite detailed description of what someone (who is definitely just an abstract hypothetical person and definitely not you) might do if they wanted to have a hormone system without a dominant hormone, you should probably contact a promethea.
