What is Hormone Therapy?
Hormone therapy for transgender or gender variant individuals, also known as cross-sex hormone therapy, is a form of hormone therapy in which sex hormones and other hormonal medications are administered for the purpose of closely aligning one’s gender expression with one’s gender identity.
Hormone therapy has been shown unquestionably to have positive physical and psychological effects on the transitioning individual.
It can provide significant comfort to patients who do not want to make a social gender role transition or undergo surgery.
