Résumé

Transgender medicine is a growing clinical field. Hormone therapy (testosterone or estrogen treatment) is part of the standard of gender-affirming medical care, yet clinical pharmacological knowledge in transgender medicine is lacking. Herein, we summarize available clinical and pharmacologic data for hormone therapy among transgender and gender diverse people.
