Quick Facts

Different routes (oral vs injections vs trans-dermal etc) have the same results. Pick whichever option you are most comfortable with.
If you're doing feminizing hrt your boobs will randomly grow in bursts. Chest pain going away is perfectly normal.
It's unreliable to estimate your hormone levels based on signs. Take blood tests if they are available to you.
Remember to eat well, get enough sleep, and exercise! This will help you grow properly and look more masculine on testosterone or more feminine on estradiol.

Paypal basically pulled out every single stop to prevent me sending out bitcoin to a personal wallet. Don't bother using it for purchases.

They just want your cash, it might as well be a fake number they're showing you.

Best to avoid paypal in general if possible. I wasn't aware they did crypto.

Why would they limit the number of ways they can scam their customers?

Avoid PayPal for anything. They can and will just steal your money.

Fair, but Paypal is a sketchy place to ever put any form of currency. It was founded of a mix of companies that included elongated muskrat and peter thiel as founders, even if they aren't involved now.

They have a habit of freezing and seizing funds.

MoonPay + Electrum has worked well in the past for me.
