      Not exactly. It’s a relatively weak antiandrogen, which mainly reduces DHT production.

      If someone wishes to feminise their body, then at sufficent levels, it’s primarily estradiol (a form of estrogen) that feminises, but if the method of medication isn’t strong enough for monotherapy*, then you may also need antiandrogens, though more potent.

      *Using only one medication to achieve an effect.
