Which had the greatest impact on reducing dysphoria for you, testosterone blockers or estrogen?

I'm happy you're asking this. I too am very interested in hearing about this.

I did DIY with only E twice and both times it reduced the dysphoria. Now I am under a Dr's care with both E and spiro and this also reduces the dysphoria (maybe a little better).
I do not know what my blood levels were when I was DIY so I can't really draw any specific conclusions on why it worked either way. Also, I have never taken blockers alone.

E also reduces testosterone.
