General Questions About Hormone Therapy

[vampire_muse]

Hey there,
My therapist is encouraging me to do research on hormone replacement therapy as a way of educating myself in the various options out there for transitioning and to also gain some understanding of the subject so I can have an informed take on it.

Questions:

1. Are there any good websites with information on the various types of hormone treatments? (I am Male to Female, pre-everything)

2. If I am losing my hair because of male pattern baldness and herdity, would hormone therapy promote hair growth or supress the testostorone that promotes male hair loss?

3. Knowing that different people react differently to hormone treatment, what are some of the side effects or potential hazards?

4. What about breast development? Would hormones develop signficantly large breasts? Can development be adjusted or monitored in some way?

5. What happens to the male genitalia when on hormone replacement therapy?

Thanks, David (Sara)
