Gender-Affirming Hormone Therapy (GAHT)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Transgender hormone therapy, also known as hormone replacement therapy (HRT) or gender-affirming hormone therapy (GAHT), is a medical treatment that involves the administration of sex hormones and other hormonal medications to individuals who identify as transgender or gender nonconforming. The aim of this therapy is to help these individuals develop secondary sexual characteristics that are more closely aligned with their gender identity. Hormone therapy can be classified into two types, based on whether the goal is to masculinize or feminize the patient:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Masculinizing hormone therapy&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; is given to transgender men or transmasculine individuals and consists of androgens and antiestrogens.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Feminizing hormone therapy&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/span&gt;is given to transgender women or transfeminine individuals and consists of estrogens and antiandrogens.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Some intersex people may also undergo hormone therapy either in childhood to confirm the sex assigned to them at birth or later to align their sex with their gender identity. Non-binary people may also choose to undergo hormone therapy to achieve a desired balance of sex hormones or to help align their bodies with their gender identities.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
