Thanks, that's pretty much my perspective. Although I'd likely opt out of androgen suppressants. In my experience, life without testosterone was unpleasant. My arthritis was worse, and I was prone to tendonitis. I lost muscle mass, and got fatter. I became borderline diabetic. My acne got much worse. And I lost all interest in sex. Testosterone supplementation reversed all of that.

Yes, I am uncomfortable with androgen suppressants for the same reasons -- they have quite far-reaching effects, including some dramatic personality effects. However, doctors tend to view them as minimally invasive (which I agree with) and harmless (which I don't).
