Dear Miss Laura, Hello Where can I buy the female hormones pills? I heard that I need to go through electrolysis or laser treatment
to get rid of my hair. And is it possible to have a surgery on the lower part (get rid
of male sex organ/gland) and have breast surgery later? And I heard a weird fact. Is it impossible to have an SRS if a M2F transgender is grown up and had a sex with a woman because she would have too much male hormone in her body?? Is it possible?
Dear is it possible, Yes it certainly is possible. Female hormones can only be obtained legally with a prescription. A therapist that uses the HBIGDa Standards of Care That Most MTF Surgeons would require would write a recomendation for Hormones if you qualify. An endocrinologist would then write the prescription. Some family doctor's may prescribe with a letter from the therapist as well. Yes electrolysis or laser would be needed to remove facial hair.
Laser to be effective only works on dark hair. Electrolysis is the
only hair removal deemed permanent. Yes you could have lowere Surgery (SRS) first and add breast implants later. The fact you heard is false. Whether or not you have had sex will not ruin your chances for SRS. Remember when receiving Female Hormones you will also be put on a Testosterone Blocker Laura
