Brief Answer:
Start with an antiandrogen and estrogen

Detailed Answer:
Dear sir, hello again.. you should start with an antiandrogen as cyroterone 12.5-25 mg once daily and oral estradiol 2 mg once daily with a monthly check up of blood estrogen and testesterone levels.. the desired feminization effect is better achieved with blood estradiol level below 200 pmol/ L.. I hope you find this helpful
