It is a common thing for lots of people to feel they do not belong to the gender they were given at birth. This is called gender dysphoria. The signs might include feeling weird about your body, clothes, or pronouns people use for you. This happens because your gender identity does not match the sex you were marked at birth. Speaking to a therapist who gets gender identity can help you in finding ways to feel good and supported.

Can a transgender male have a period?
Other | 43
Men who are transgenders assigned female at birth still possess uterus, and consequently continue to menstruate as normal. Hormone therapy commonly used in the gender transition brings about a significant decrease or cessation of menstrual bleeding. In order to get personalized advice regarding the management of menstrual health for those going through gender transition, a specialist in transgender medicine or endocrinology needs to be consulted.

I'm a 56 year old transgender female and I was taking hormones but had to stop because I just couldn't afford them anymore. I want to take the Opill birth control because of the progestin in it to help increase my breast size even though it will take time. My question to you is will taking the Opill birth control hurt me if I take it long term or will I be fine.
Other | 56
Starting the Opill birth control for breast enlargement can be risky. Use of birth control pills for a long time can cause problems such as high chances of blood clots, weight change, and emotional state. The hormone progestin in the pill can affect my levels of hormones. There are also claims that birth control pills made of progestin can affect the production of hormones. Consult your healthcare provider to make a safe decision and avoid risking negative consequences.

I am a 27-year-old male. I have suffered from gender identity disorder since childhood. I want to undergo hormonal feminization therapy. I want help and recommend appropriate treatment.

if I have top surgery without T can I develop pecs if I hit the gym a lot?
Male | 18
If you don't take testosterone or undergo top surgery, you can still build your pecs by lifting weights. Pecs, short for pectoral muscles, can grow with exercises like chest presses and push-ups, which target these muscles. Pace yourself, use the correct form, and be consistent with your workouts. Your pecs can still develop even without testosterone.
