I've been on hormones since 1996.
Your question is a bit broad. Could write a book on the effects of hormones.
When I went on them it was simply to do 2 things... get better results on my facial electrolysis (which took 5 years)... and to grow titties.
Funny thing is... the hormones do a LOT more than that. They affect literally everything... your skin...your pores... the texture of the hair on your head... they decrease body hair... your muscle tone... the softness of your body...
And that's not even getting into what they do to your libido, your emotions and the mental aspects. Suffice it to say your emotions change dramatically - as does the way you think. Depending on what hormone regimen your on - you can pretty much kiss your sex drive good-bye.
Basically there are two things you are doing when you go on HRT (hormones replacement theraphy). You're blocking your body's testosterone production, and your putting estrogen into your body. I've been doing this for about 9 years, and as my doctor tells me, my hormone levels are no different than a genetic females.
Just touching the tip of the ice berg her. If you have any specific questions, about specific hormones... premarin... androcur... etc... orals versus injectibles... dosages... whatever, just ask and I'll try to help.

p.s. A word of caution. NEVER SELF MEDICATE. To any wannabe's out there. See a doctor. Screwing around with hormones can cause blot clots that can get you killed if you don't know what the f--- you're doing.
p.s.s. Anyone that says they can get the same results out of herbals that you get from prescription hormones doesn't have a clue what they're talking about, and is to be avoided like the plague.
