Gender change: Please start with a visit to a Psychologist.
I do not make changes to hormones till I get the OK from the Psychologist.
After that testosterone therapy is OK but needs careful monitoring by your doctor over the first few weeks/months.
There are many testosterone options and all are good and the costs vary. Have your doctor discuss all the options and costs.
