androgen blockers are to block testosterone production, or testosterone's bodily absorption

when you take hormones orally by swallowing, most of it gets filtered out by your liver. this is why oral estrogen sits under your tongue for 20 minutes so it can absorb into your blood directly

injections are always the superior method anyway but not everyone can get them sadly

block testosterone's bodily absorption

not an HRTologist but this should also increase estrogen levels since testosterone gets converted into it via aromatase (which is why bodybuilders sometimes develop breast tissue, or why people with complete androgen insensitivity syndrome develop feminine features)
