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
