Our findings confirm that after an initial drop, testosterone levels in transgender women remain stable. Adrenal androgens decrease in the first year of CPA and estrogen supplementation and remain unchanged after gonadectomy. Androgens did not change after gonadectomy and cessation of CPA. Correlates with clinical symptoms remain to be elucidated.
