Is that what they use for “chemical castration”?

  Yes, sometimes. I'd recommend that any man thinking about taking these for ANY REASON (including transitioning) have his T levels measured first - Low T is more likely to cause adverse behaviors and mental issues than high T (contrary to the "roid rage" hypothesis of "male toxicity" BS). Roid rage can be a thing but it's more complex than simply having too much T - it's a dynamical system so it's very much like getting a sugar high and then insulin shock afterwards: you will rebound from high T intake to very low intake and that better explains most of roid rage.

  Where I live high doses of cyproterone acetate have been used for chemical castration (>200mg), but at these levels there's a chance of developing benign brain tumours, so they try not to do this. I think zolodex is also used in this manner, and it's more effective since it's a long-lasting implant rather than a daily pill. In both cases they're not 100% effective, different people respond differently.
