Elizabeth Alexander Poet Bio

Male To Female :Transgender Awareness

He to she  hormones,
I have personal experience of...
your thinking processes alter,
your skin softens and thins,
muscle definition: is lost and reduces,
you experience mood swings
and burst into tears for no apparent reason.
 Anti-androgens: block your testosterone production;
 Progestins: reinforce that block and promotes duct growth;
 Oestrogens: eventually feminize the body,
encourages some breast growth,
and body-fat re-distrabution.


Elizabeth alexander                   11/2/2016.
Trans-woman, in transition.
