Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Hormone therapy for gender dysphoria involves cross-sex hormone therapy, which stimulates the development of secondary sex characteristics of the preferred sex (such as breast growth or beard growth) while suppressing those of the birth sex (such as menstrual cycles or body hair growth). This therapy can be taken without sex reassignment surgery, and is often the first step in medical transitioning. Testosterone does not cause fatty deposits in the breasts and hips or soften the skin, and estrogen does not cause the voice to deepen or cause hair to grow in a male pattern.
