This review is from: Feminizing Hormonal Therapy for the Transgendered (4th Edition) (Mass Market Paperback)

If you are transsexual and want to understand all the technical points of hormone therapy this is for you. Perhaps your loved one is about to begin this program. You might even be an MD who wants to learn more about the suject. Whatever your background I believe you will find Dr. Kirk's style is very down to earth and easy to follow, even for those with no medical background. She explains the importance of taking hormones under proper medical supervison and provides valid justification for this stance. She also provides several guidlines for determining your bodies progress while on HRT (Hormone Replacement Therapy). There is even a chart showing how the various hormones are metabolized by your body for those who are interested in this type of thing. Dr. Kirk is also careful to explain what you can and cannot expect hormones to do for you. This is very important and so many men and women really have no real clue what will happen as a result of this program. As a Male-to-Female transsexual who is taking hormones under a Dr's supervision I found the book to be invaluable. If Dr. Kirk's book on masculinizing the female-to-male is anything like this one FtM's would do well to obtain a copy for their reference. Caitlin Martin
