T is injection / patch / gel only, no oral.

I’m not trans myself and don’t know anyone that is but from my background in powerlifting my guess is this is because basically any oral testosterone is brutal for the liver to break down and process

Don’t forget about Estradot patches. It’s bioidentical like injections without the fuss. I don’t know about the US but I pay $6.80/month for mine.
