A member asked:
Transgender fitness. male to female. women tend to be more flexible than men. will hormone replacement therapy also increase my flexibility?

Not really: Interesting question. This is technically possible, due to effects on ligaments, BUT, the effect would likely be quite minimal. Try yoga or stretching band exercises- these will probably work better.

Depends: The flexibility that females enjoy come from shallower hip sockets as well as improved ligament laxity......i don’t think supplemental estrogen will help a lot with this
