A member asked:

I'm just wondering, if you are born a female and you take female hormones will your physical features change?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes, and: If you're not deficient and receiving the hormones from a physician for a true medical problem -- they could be harmful to your health when you're young. Later they may be needed for replacement of deficiency or contraception, but only when prescribed by a physician.
