Estrogen increases joint laxity so adding testosterone may actually help your joints stay where there belong.

I highly recommend testosterone. Male puberty kinda sucks once you get into it, but the gender affirmation is worth it. I haven't noticed any connection between my EDS and testosterone use

Being on T helps me, I honestly end up in less pain and feel over all better while on T

I was on T for awhile and it actually helped my eds, I felt way better for awhile. I unfortunately had to stop because it was expensive but I wish you luck!!
