Abt switch
The Abt switch is a kind of railway switch used on funiculars (inclined cable railways) that doesn't have any moving parts. It allows two cars to pass each other going uphill/downhill while sharing the same tracks. While most train switches rely on physically moving a section of track so the train goes one way or the other, the abt switch doesn't move at all. Instead each carriage has a grooved wheel which makes it turn left or right at a junction by sticking to the track on one side.

Spiro doesn't reduce your T levels, it just blocks it from attaching to receptors somewhat. What's your E at? My T went down to like 8ng/dL after being on E for a few months.
It's been around 96, 98 in July and September, and somewhere in the 80s in April?
yes it does, it functions both as an androgen receptor antagonist and an androgen synthesis inhibitor
Spiro is an androgen blocker, it doesn't actually affect the production of T in any way.
spiro decreases T levels, like, provably, factually, scientifically, etc, i dunno what to tell you
its not very good at it (the US should just use cypro like literally everywhere else) but it does
T levels being that high while taking E is ostensibly a bad thing, especially for the purposes of feminizing hormone therapy
not all antiandrogens decrease T (finasteride doesnt for example) but spiro does
