Estrogen

General Information

As a part of feminizing hormone replacement therapy, many trans-feminine people will take estrogen (often as estradiol, also spelled oestradiol). This is primarily done to relieve gender dysphoria, and replace it with gender euphoria. When someone is meant to be feminine, but their appearance is not, E is here to help!
