The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.
Birth control pills stimulate that sex hormone binding lobbulin that starts grabbing the testosterone and helps with their symptoms.
Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.

the birth control pill is a combination of synthetic estrogen, ethanol estradiol, and a type of progesterone or a progesterine. These work by telling the brain, essentially tricking it so the brain doesn't send out FSH or LH. And as we described earlier, those are important in getting you to ovulate. So you don't ovulate when you have taking the birth control pill.
So the estrogen component of the pill will increase the sex hormone binding globbulin so you have less free testosterone around. So again that will help with um those symptoms we talked about.
