I'm not looking for surgery now, but that is some-thing I would like.

Is there any medications that I could take or get prescriptions for

to make my body and features more feminine??

Posted by Doctor G. 322 days and 1 hours ago.

Answer

Speaking with your phsyician would be the first step. There are hormone pills that would make your body less masculine. However, some physicians may not feel comfortable with doing this, so you may have to find one that is.

Accepted Answer

Here's what I found. I contacted an organization called Gay and Lesbian Medical Association (GLMA). They have a listing of doctors that are themselves gay, lesbian, or transgendered. The first two physicians specialize in what you are looking for and then the last one does both surgical and non-surgical. They are in Philadelphia. They will be a great place to start. I wish you the best of luck and please, if you need further information, do not hesitate to contact me again.
