Top 12 Myths About Injections for MtF Trans People!

The #1 misconception I hear from medical providers is that there is no difference between the injectable and the oral method of administering estrogen. 

If I could get a nickel every time a client passes on this message from their doctor to me, I swear I’d have a few grand stacked away.  

Sadly, misinformed patients continue to stay on oral administration for many years.

Robbing themselves of the potential advantages of the feminizing effects they could be experiencing.

Injectable estradiol offers a faster feminization rate and can better regulate emotional mood.  

Many of you are familiar with the FaceBook group MTF Trans HRT Hormone Forum, and if not, stop what you are doing and sign up.

It is run by the amazing Beverly Cosgrove.  Beverly is a researcher and an author of a very informative blog Moderntranshormoens.

Her article “Injection of Hormones for MTF Transsexuals”, is like a Bible, passed to clients both starting HRT and those who have been on it for many years.

Beverly has done a thorough job debunking the top 12 myths about injections for MTF trans people that, without further ado, I introduce here: The Top 12 Myths About Injections for MTF Trans People!
