    GlossaryFeminizing Hormone Therapy

    involves estrogen and anti-androgens to induce female secondary sexual characteristics

    Feminizing Hormone Therapy, also known as Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) for transgender women, involves the administration of estrogen and anti-androgens to induce physical changes that align an individual's secondary sexual characteristics with their gender identity. This therapy can lead to breast development, redistribution of body fat, reduced muscle mass, and decreased body hair growth, among other changes.
