How Early Hormone Therapy Can Save Trans Lives

Dr. Z shares three very foundational, important, big reasons why starting feminizing hormones before actually starting social transition may be a very, very big benefit for a lot of you. She will explain why, and that way you can see whether this is something that seems optimal for you. She will be talking about feminizing hormones specifically because feminizing hormones are one of the things where, in the beginning, a lot of people can go all the way up to three months without experiencing any very large, outwardly external changes that may communicate to people around them that they are going through a physical gender transition. Whereas masculinizing hormones are different, people do see drastic masculinizing results sometimes even after one week of being on masculinizing hormones. This is why this specifically tends to be very conducive for those of you who are interested in starting feminizing hormones.

This video is also clearly for adults. This video is specifically for all of you—adults who also already know that you do have gender dysphoria and you already know (or at least you already know) that you identify as trans feminine, maybe non-binary feminine, and you are interested in feminizing hormones. Feminizing hormones is something you've been wanting to do. Part of the feminizing hormone regimen is part of your medical transition goals.
