Will T make me taller?

[okayy]

I'm a FTM, in my teens, haven't even gone through puberty yet. As a female, my projected height is 5'4, and as a male, 5'9. So, if I started taking hormone blockers now to keep me from going through puberty till I could take T at 16, would I be able to reach 5'9??

  T is a bone capper.  Eunuchs who were castrated just before puberty don't have the T and too low E in their system, so their bones don't cap. These people are much taller than the regular population and they stood out. You should talk to the endocrinologist about any kind of projection you might get on puberty blockers. A whole host of things happen during puberty other than E and T levels that determines height.

It's actually estrogen that causes epiphyseal closure of bones in both men and woman. Following this closure, no further natural lengthening of bones is possible.   

So yes.... anything that reduces free estrogen will delay epiphyseal closure which stops bone lengthening.  The longer you can delay this, the taller you will grow.  By age 22 epihyseal closure has happened and you will not grow taller.
