"Puberty is an awkward time for everyone, but for many trans people, every change their body goes through is a horrifying reminder that their body does not align with their gender. Luckily for those decide to transition, Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) can make it a little easier.

With the help of their doctors, people assigned female at birth might use a form of testosterone which can be injected, applied with a patch, as a topical cream or gel, as a subcutaneous pellet (six to 12 placed under the skin every three months), or use progestin injections as another option. "
