A member asked:
I want to transition to a female. will a doctor prescribe hormones or send me to counselling?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Process: There is a specific process for how this is done. You will need counseling as well as medications. Noone should prescribe the meds to you until you have gone through psychological testings and is really sure this is what you want. It's done all the time, but it is a process and not just showing up to a doc's office and get the medications.
