+External links {#external}
+--------------
+
+In addition to this page, there is another site (not run by TransChat)
+that has plenty of info for trans women:
+<http://www.tsroadmap.com/index.html> - NOTE: it may be a bit outdated,
+and uses outdated terms like transsexual, etc. TODO: integrate info from
+there that is missing on TransChat, and then remove this link.\
+The info on tsroadmap may prove useful to trans women living in USA.
+
+Our own info on TransChat is incomplete. **TODO: integrate useful
+information from TA and TSroadmap, onto the transchat site**. We are not
+responsible for information on external websites.
+
+Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) {#hrt}
+---------------------------------
+
+As a trans woman, 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 woman.
+
+With HRT, several things will happen to you (this list is not
+exhaustive):
+
+-   You will probably develop breasts (to the size of a typical cis
+    women) over the course of a few years
+-   Your hips will probably widen (over the course of years)
+-   Body hair growth (but not facial hair growth) will be reduced
+    (within 6 months usually). The body hair that does grow will be
+    thinner and less visible. You will stop needing to shave your body
+    as much.
+-   body fat will redistribute to be more female generally (e.g. more
+    fat in your thighs)
+-   Body odour will feminize (You'll smell female, not male)
+-   The size of your testicles will decrease
+-   Your libido (desire for sex) will seriously decrease
+-   Emotional changes: your emotions will feel more intense (you're not
+    going to go mad, you'll still be in control and you'll normalise
+    after a while to be more stable). They will change the way that you
+    think, basically.
+-   Your skin (whole body) will soften, your veins will become less
+    visible
+-   Decreased muscle mass and strength. E.g. the muscles around your
+    shoulders and upper body will go down
+-   Decreased acne, skin will become less oily
+-   You might lose the ability to ejaculate
+-   You will become infertile
+
+More information is on [this Wikipedia
+article](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hormone_replacement_therapy_%28male-to-female%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. E.g. some trans women will develop large breasts, some will
+develop small - or no - breasts. 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:\
+[How to get HRT if you're a child/teenager](children.md)\
+[How to get HRT if you're an adult](adults.md)\
+[Private trans care providers](private-care.md)\
+[How to purchase HRT on the internet](hrt-internet.md)

+Voice training (feminization) {#voice}
+=============================
+
+During male puberty, your voice deepens. Training can help that.

+[We have a section for this on the TransChat site](voice.md)
+
+Hair removal
+============
+
+You can get your body hair and facial hair permanently removed. [We have
+a section for this on the TransChat site](hair-removal.md)

+Breast augmentation
+===================
+
+You can get implants inserted into your breasts, to enlarge them.
+
+See [/breast-augmentation/](breast-augmentation.md)
+
+Surgery
+=======
+
+You can get surgery which will give you a fully functional vagina, with
+(depending on your surgeon and the type of surgery) full sensation and
+self-lubrication.
