oooh https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danazol is an endo and lupus treatment... but metabolised by liver, so even if joints improve, my ALTs still need to come down.

"Mastodanatrol"?! MASTODON atrol, gdi.

argh. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o2Ggwe2j0Gc is useful in more ways than just sharing it widely to assuage my anxiety.

A youtube comment: "With masculinizing treatment, I think there are other T options but can't remember the details.
If you've not had surgery, you'll want to consider taking progesterone to prevent pregnancy as T doesn't reliably prevent it.
Additionally, you can take finasteride to try to prevent hairloss although it may stunt beard growth."

"Finasteride is not suitable for some people. To make sure it's safe for you, tell a doctor if you have:

* ever had an allergic reaction to finasteride or any other medicine,
* ever had depression or thoughts about harming yourself,
* severe bladder problems, or
* liver problems".
... well at least I don't have -- oh wait yeah, the recurrent UTIs. :/
