3 Reasons to Start Feminizing Hormones BEFORE Social Transition

Clinical psychologist Dr. Z shares three very foundational, important, big reasons why starting feminizing hormones before actually starting social transition may be a very big benefit for many. She'll explain why so you can see whether this seems optimal for you. She'll talk about feminizing hormones specifically because feminizing hormones are one of things where in beginning, many can go all the way up to three months without experiencing very large, outwardly external changes that may communicate to people around them they're going through physical gender transition. Whereas masculinizing hormones are different—people see drastic masculinizing results sometimes even after one week. This is why this specifically tends to be very conducive for those interested in starting feminizing hormones. This video is for adults who already know they have gender dysphoria, identify as trans feminine or non-binary feminine, and are interested in feminizing hormones. Watch as Dr. Z addresses three foundational reasons. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ABOUT DR.
