The people at Vancouver Coastal Health are freaking amazing! 

While there are some health risks involved with hormone therapy, it can have positive and important effects on trans people’s quality of life. Knowing what you can expect will help you work with your health care providers to maximize the benefits and minimize the risks. 

The purpose of this booklet is to: 

• explain how hormones work 
  
• describe the changes to expect from MTF1 hormones, and outline risks and possible side effects 
  
• give you information about how to maximize the benefits and minimize the risks 
  

You can read the whole MTF booklet HERE!

You can read the whole FTM booklete HERE!

Lee says:
Although not everyone taking hormones identifies as FTM or MTF, the information is pretty accurate apart from that sort of sketchy language, so if you want to know more about E read the “MTF booklet” and if you want to know more about T then read the “FTM booklet”

It’s stuff like this that makes me wish I lived in canada
