See the right MD: There are many doctors who are skilled in treating transgender individuals - but you may have to look for them. WPATH is an international association with plenty of counselors, physicians, etc. on their website. Find someone close to you. The Internet is a good place for you to get started. And there are excellent books available. Don't fall into the trap of self-medicating: dangerous/ineffective!

An Endocrinologist: Find a trans-competent endocrinologist. An endocrinologist working w/u would tailor hormone treatments just 4U They will likely consider 2 classes of agents: (1) agents that block production of andogens -"male" sex hormones like testosterone. One commonly used is the drug spironolactone. (2) "female" hormones -typically some mix of estrogen & progesterone. Specifics: http://bit.ly/1Cv7UXL
