Line 1:
'''Hormone Replacement Therapy''' ('''HRT''') is the medical process of blocking the body's naturally produced [[sex]] hormones and/or replacing or supplementing these with a different sex hormone or set of sex hormones. Sex hormones include estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone. Many [[transgender]] individuals undergo hormone therapy as part of their transition. [[Non-binary]] and [[genderqueer]] individuals may also choose to undergo HRT as well. Not all trans folks choose to undergo HRT, either for medical reason or because they are already comfortable with their appearance.
Some [[cisgender]] individuals also undergo HRT. This could be because they are [[transsex]]/[[altersex]], however
Many [[intersex]] people with irregular hormonal output also go on HRT, as to balance their hormone levels.
