Here's the chemistry that happens in the body when someone transitions genders.

Reactions is taking a look at the chemistry that happens in your body when someone transitions genders. A big part of gender transition is hormone replacement therapy (HRT). This week, Reactions talks about the science of HRT and what happens when the body undergoes major shifts in estrogen and testosterone — two very powerful hormones.
