+Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) {#hrt}
+---------------------------------
+
+As a trans man, typically you would (if you were going to transition)
+take what is called *HRT* or *hormone replacement therapy*. This will
+give you the same estrogen/testosterone balance as a typical cis man.
+
+With HRT, several things will happen to you (this list is not
+exhaustive):
+
+-   You will start growing body and facial hair
+-   Your voice will start deepening
+-   You'll get male pattern baldness when you're older (scalp hair)
+-   Potentially increased libido
+-   Emotional changes (varies depending on person)
+-   Increase sweat and body odour production
+-   Periods will eventually stop (at higher doses of testosterone)
+
+More information is on [this Wikipedia
+article](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hormone_replacement_therapy_%28female-to-male%29).
+
+*Your mileage may vary! Some people don't get changes, while others
+might only see some of these changes, or they will see them in varying
+degrees. It all depends on your body (and what type of hormones you
+take, at what dosages, etc). All of this depends on age, genetics, etc.
+There's no telling what will happen to the individual trans person, you
+just have to see what happens basically.*

+We have information about getting HRT on the TransChat site. See:\

+
+Stand to pee devices {#stp}
+====================
+
+You can find these devices online. They allow you to pee while standing
+up, e.g. at urinals in male bathrooms. You should get a 2-in-1 STP and
+packer device (see notes about packers below).
+
+Packers {#packers}
+=======
+
+A packer is a device that you wear on your crotch, to give the
+appearance of a bulge, which cis men have when they wear trousers. You
+can see a bulge from their penis. A packer will give you the same
+appearance, if you've not had surgery.
+
+Make sure to get a 2-in-1 packer that also has stand-to-pee
+functionality.
+
+Here is an excellent YouTube video about packers, which all trans men
+should watch: <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v2LEh41xTYw>
+
+Surgery {#packers}
+=======
+
+You can get surgery to give you a penis, and to remove your
+breasts.
+
+If you haven't had *top surgery* yet, you can wear a *binder* which
+will reduce the appearance of your breasts. Your wear this under your
+shirt.
+
+You can use a *stand-to-pee device* if you want to stand while peeing
+(e.g. at public urinals) if you haven't had bottom surgery yet.
