I don't have any suggestions on the birth control, but I will commiserate on the testosterone injections. TheEngineer takes them every 2 weeks, also.
He's a cis-male, but he and his sister were both born with birth defects, we're thinking because their mother was raised downwind (and close) to the nuclear bomb testing site in New Mexico. She had to have a hysterectomy at age 15, and he was born with only a small portion of one testicle, which was removed when he was 5. So he's been on hormone therapy most of his life.
As I use insulin, I'm understanding of his (and your) hatred of the needle, I really am. And I know the testosterone is worse because it's a more viscous liquid. I hate taking my shots too. :(
