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!
