    Vitamins won’t hurt anything. The only real difference is that “female” formula tends to have more iron since women are more prone to anemia (blood loss during period).

    No clue how hormone therapy works for transgender. I know the estrogen can encourage breast growth but its not like the man could then breastfeed.

    A man taking vitamins for a woman wouldn’t even notice the difference.
    Vitamins are vitamins. The only difference between vitamin formulations for women, and those for men, are the combination of vitamins, and (sometimes) the dosage.

    Hormone therapy does for transsexual people the same thing that hormones do for non-trans people at puberty; it causes the development of secondary sexual characteristics appropriate to that person’s gender. In other words, it causes facial and body hair to grow or diminish depending on gender, causes some changes to the body shape, and causes the genitalia to stop functioning. It also creates a profound sense of well-being in the transsexual person (who will have been ‘at war’ with his or her hormones up until beginning therapy).
