Does testogel have the same level of effect on the body as injections

I’m starting HRT within the next year, and I don’t know whether to use t gel or injections.

Personally, I would prefer to use the gel because of needle phobias but if it’s less effective than injections, then I think I would be able to make myself cope with getting them as I want to be masculinised as much and as soon as possible.

Does anyone have experience or knowledge on whether injections would be more effective than the gel?
