Hi Karen,
I'm mainly afraid of what I posted here:
http://www.breastnexus.com/showthread.php?tid=8419&pid=31857#pid31857
The thread on the bodybuilders forum I linked there is worth reading too.
Too bad I couldn't find any scientific literature about this, but I think the idea is sound. Only skeletal muscle growth reacts to testosterone directly. All other organs react to the androgen signal through DHT. Most people are aware of that. But what surprised me in that thread was that these other organs include the brain. Many people know that too. But what this means in practice, is that too much anti-androgens will make you miss out on the effects of DHT on the brain. You won't be sorry about aggression. But libido, good mood, and the ability to cope with stress? Many effects of DHT on the brain are desirable, and I'm afraid the level-headedness of sfem and Pansy Mae is one of them.
