Will long-term Opill birth control affect transgender individuals negatively?
I'm a 56 year old transgender female and I was taking hormones but had to stop because I just couldn't afford them anymore. I want to take the Opill birth control because of the progestin in it to help increase my breast size even though it will take time. My question to you is will taking the Opill birth control hurt me if I take it long term or will I be fine.

Starting the Opill birth control for breast enlargement can be risky. Use of birth control pills for a long time can cause problems such as high chances of blood clots, weight change, and emotional state. The hormone progestin in the pill can affect my levels of hormones. There are also claims that birth control pills made of progestin can affect the production of hormones. Consult your healthcare provider to make a safe decision and avoid risking negative consequences.

In ftm hrt, would the physical effects be noticeable? I have family that are very conservative and am just wondering whether they will be able to notice.

Indeed, the physical results of FTM HRT are visible but may differ depending on an individual. It is possible also to identify some physical changes such as a deepening voice, facial and body hair growths, and redistribution of the fatty mass. It is best to consult with a gender-affirming healthcare provider who specializes in trans healthcare

Hi, I would like to have FTM hormons and surgery on a vety good level and results, how much in New Delhi
Female | 50
In case you are thinking about using the FTM hormones and having surgery to get a perfect result in New Delhi, it should be pointed out that this practice is a part of transitioning from female to male people. Gender dysphoria is generally expressed through the person's feeling that the gender identity that the person was born with is inappropriate and does not agree with the person's innate gender. Hormone therapy and surgery can help reunite gender and sex. Make sure to approach a specialized doctor in New Delhi who has the necessary experience in providing these treatments for the best outcomes.

I am 36 year old married man, I want to breast like a woman breast with out any surgery. If any possibility of this please give me some advice that how it's done.
Male | 37
There are non-surgical options to consider. Methods involving hormones that cause breast development, such as the administration of estrogen or the use of progesterone, could be effective. The use of the hormonal valve of these aids is advised only medically and not as a means for self-reliance since it can have side effects on health. I advise you to get in touch with a healthcare professional for a consultation so they can give you the right advice and direction considering your health condition and also investigate the effectiveness of the treatment.

if I have top surgery without T can I develop pecs if I hit the gym a lot?
Male | 18
If you don't take testosterone or undergo top surgery, you can still build your pecs by lifting weights. Pecs, short for pectoral muscles, can grow with exercises like chest presses and push-ups, which target these muscles. Pace yourself, use the correct form, and be consistent with your workouts. Your pecs can still develop even without testosterone.

Will those who are transgender have children?
Male | 30
Transgender individuals face challenges in naturally conceiving due to medical aspects. Those assigned female at birth and on hormone therapy may have lower fertility. Those assigned male at birth typically cannot get pregnant. Preserving eggs or sperm before transitioning may help those wanting biological kids later. Consulting fertility experts can help transgender people desiring parenthood.
