I need u to stop doing the whole "any testosterone is poison" meme/anxiety thing, and not even because it hurts trans people on a primarily testosterone endocrine stack (though this is a Pretty Good Reason too. but that's been litigated to death already)

especially when fully suppressed T makes physical therapy much much less effective, and T that gets you to the low average cis female range along with high enough estradiol and progesterone doesn't actually cause issues here?

the dirty secret is ovaries also produce testosterone, it's a precursor to other hormones.

Something that Hindus and Buddhists do right is that whenever I'm looking at maps for funsies (which i do often) and I notice a tiny little island or peninsula that has a weird or interesting shape to it, or an island in a big lake or within another island or something, if it's in a country with a large historic Hindu or Buddhist presence then 9 times out of 10 there's a temple built on that tiny little island or peninsula.

And like, yeah. That's right. There should be some sort of temple or sacred space on this weird little island off the coast that's too small for a proper human settlement. I agree. That feels correct. That is a good place to put a temple. If you row your boat out to that little island you can see in the distance then you totally should be rewarded with a nice statue and stuff. This is the correct thing to do.

Oh wow there's a hole in the ground and some trees are growing in there. This cave is neat! Let's build a shrine down here! Like yes, correct, absolutely, there should absolutely be a shrine down here. This spot is begging for a little shrine to Buddha.
