user vs. transmission to others
Two separate things are coming up here.
1. Caution in transmission of estrogen to others (studies about children of mothers using estrogen, sexual partners, etc).
2. Concerns about transmission of estrogen to the body that has just ingested the estrogen. Again, I'm not sure that having just applied estrogen to a mucous membrane (vaginally), we need to concern ourselves overmuch with touching any other area of our (own) body. It's kind of like trying to use a towel to get a dry spot on your windshield in the middle of a driving rainstorm. Although now I'm thinking - maybe a little stroking of the wrinkles about the eyes and mouth ... ? Do you think that would work (tic)? Am I the only one who noticed a pretty drastic increase in wrinkles and general sagginess, with AI use?
Seems to me that the answer, if you're that concerned about estrogen in your body, is not to put estrogen in your body in any way. I wish there were better answers to this whole issue of maintaining our bodies and our functions, without estrogen. But right now, they do not exist.
