Interesting, in medical school they spend a lot more time talking about the dangers of estrogen supplementation rather than testosterone. I actually think this is a case of medical school ignoring trans issues rather than you being incorrect. I want to read up more now.

You're not wrong, but also the talk on estrogen was mostly in the context of "post-menopausal HRT is bad". I'm surprised, since we spent decent time talking about things like how not to misgender our patients, the actual medical treatment aspects were breezed over.

Oh, postmenopausal, of course! (And its okay, I was a little wrong, lol).
