Hi, My name is Midoriko. Well, it s a name that i perfer as i think i may be Transgendar Female. I am a male, i was born male, I being growing up with a female voice. Everytime i take to someone knew, they thought i was a women because of my voice, I actually like being called a women Yet, i dont. I don t know what to call myself. I like being Called a male but i dont mind Female either, its weird. I m being thinking of taking Hormones just to get a Female look and keep my.... you know..

But maybe when i grow up abit and maybe consider Male-Female Transition But now, Would taking hormones just to get the female look and maybe for my voice to sound more Feminine work?

With such presentations in my clinic, I would suggest Hormone replacement therapy of the male-to-female type. The estrogens are usually used are often higher than replacement doses for natal women, although the endocrinologists recommends "maintain sex hormone levels within the normal range for the person’s desired gender". Usually the dosage is reduced after an orchiectomy (the removal of the testes).Then after surgery only you will have female voice.
Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.

Wishing you good health.
