Consider taking this video quiz to help you better understand goals for your body!
The quiz just takes a few minutes and walks you through all of the body changes that are possible with hormones, medicines, surgery, procedures, and gender expression tools. We hope this quiz helps you understand all of the possible goals available. Gender affirming care is not one-size-fits-all! There is no one way to be trans. Whether you see us at QueerDoc or work with another provider, we want to make sure you are equiped to ask your provider for what you need- not what they think you need.
While some hormones do effect all parts of the bodies there are techniques and approaches to try and individualize care. Even when unwanted effects can’t be avoid, you should get to work with a provider who can really help you understand ALL of the options. This is your BODY- you are in CHARGE!!!!
