I found these articles. More information is coming available on the subject of trans women taking estradiol to transition without T-blockers, as more are doing it:
https://diytrans.wiki/Estradiol_monotherapy
https://transicarus.com/can-estradiol-monotherapy-work-for-you-will-you-need-antiandrogens/ (blog, I think, but interesting material)
https://transfemscience.org/articles/high-dose-transdermal-e2/
In posting this, I'm not saying this is the "correct" way, or that there necessarily is a correct one-size-fits-all approach, just that the subject of Estradiol monotherapy - taking estradiol without a T-blocker - is coming up a lot more lately in the trans community. Some trans women are ditching their Spironolactone.
I have my personal experiences and opinions on this subject, but won't be posting them in this thread so as to not influence the discussion too much, especially with there being additional nuances involved in my personal experiences, that other trans women may not necessarily always encounter.
