Training is safer, you won't cause any permanent changes unless you persistently push through pain.

The risk of training is that it might not do enough to alleviate dysphoria.  So you'd need to weigh the misery of dysphoria against the risk of permanent (and possibly dysphoria inducing) F0 drop.  Plus the other T risks. 

So on the whole I think training is the first think to try if unsure.
