For example, some healthcare professionals require a well-documented history of gender dysphoria before prescribing or approving gender affirming interventions like hormone therapy. Generally speaking, access to gender affirming care — which includes testosterone therapy — is limited to consenting adults ages 18 and older. Some healthcare professionals specialize in working with cisgender men with low testosterone, while others specialize in providing gender affirming care. These platforms also offer the option to connect virtually with a trans-inclusive healthcare professional, so you can ask your personal questions to figure out whether testosterone therapy is right for you. "Testosterone therapy can be taken as part of gender affirming care for transgender men and in gender diverse people to bring about physical changes that align with their gender identity," says Golding-Granado. We're looking for any patients who are receiving estrogen or testosterone therapy at Planned Parenthood League of Massachusetts to join our quarterly patient participation group with other trans, non-binary, and gender-expansive patients. The most recent ruling now reinstates Florida’s restrictions on gender-affirming care. Some people will only take testosterone for as long as it takes to develop changes that are usually considered permanent, like a deeper voice and increased body hair. "A transgender male who wants full masculinization might take higher doses to try to achieve higher levels of testosterone," explains Forcier. Testosterone is a hormone that naturally exists in all people, regardless of their sex assigned at birth.
