Hormone Therapy (GAHT)

After puberty, adults and adolescents often seek Gender Affirming Hormone Therapy (GAHT).  Like Blockers, minors need parental permission to begin GAHT.

Upon completion of a gender assessment, people diagnosed with gender dysphoria seek GAHT for both temporary and permanent secondary sex characteristics that align with their affirmed gender.

See ESTROGEN and See TESTOSTERONE in the next sections for some common outcomes from GAHT.

Consult with an endocrinologist or primary care provider to discuss the temporary and long term effects of hormone therapy.
