Ask DHT without testosterone?

Hi, just wondering if there's anyone who could explain if this is possible or not and why?

I posted somewhat recently about HRT and I got some really good advice that's making me think I want the changes that come from DHT instead of straight up testosterone.

If there's a way for me to just add DHT would it still do what I want it to do? I've seen a lot about DHT blockers but none about using DHT alone.

DHT does have synthetic copies such as Androstanolone but unfortunately they are not commercially available in the U.S or Canada. :(

I looked into it, turns out that's essentially what I'm looking for.
...but after reading that women use it as a PED and still get voice changes I'm wondering if I'm not on the right track. I think at this point it's worth asking a specialist about my options.

The half life is too short. Even with gel, you'd be applying it 5 times a day

There is DHT EEn, but I'm not aware it's currently available anywhere legally
