    I figured that this site is probably the most safest and inclusive place for a trans skeptic, so hopefully you can confirm my suspicions!

    I'm a FTM that's sorta in the closet, and is even still on the fence about "formally" transitioning with T [testosterone] and surgery at the moment. However, I heard a lot of fellow trans guys talk about transitioning "naturally" with the help of diet, exercise, and supplements. While I know such a thing will never replace some testosterone, the idea of lightly transitioning to see how I like it is rather lucrative.

    However, all I'm seeing is a push to buy a book, which seems rather sketchy. (The book is sold here.) But I did find a forum post where they detail the supplements.

    This is a bunch of quackery and a placebo for confidence, right?

That was an interesting read. I personally have had the same questions considering how many supplements are needed. Very interesting article.

I did also, the questions have come up on the MTF side too.
