Answers: Cani guys get breasts by taking girl hormones? Because some 1 told me that.

yes and in fact guys can have breasts by taking guy hormones too. Both sexes have estrogen in them just as both sexes have testosterone in them....guys have the bits that make more testosterone and girls have the bits that make more estrogen........so here's the thing.......there is an enzyme in the body called the aromatase enzyme that can trigger the conversion of testosterone into estrogen......estrogen has it's purpose and place in the male body but too much and you can start to develop female characteristics so if you pump your body full of testosterone (on top of what your body creates naturally) there is a greater chance that the conversion will take place and although you are increasing the amount of testosterone you are also increasing the amount of estrogen in the body. Some body builders will take supplements that have an anti-aromatase function in the body to prevent the conversion to take place. Now another peril of supplementing the body with hormones instead of supporting your natural production is that the body will get triggered to not produce as much as it normally would because it's getting it from outside sources and so those parts of the body that produce the hormone might atrophy and that is why sometimes you hear it said that if you shoot up with steroids your testicles will shrink. Now to more pointedly answer your question....in gender reassignment surgery they give guys the female hormones in order for them to start developing the female characteristics.

Yes.

Yes, female hormones, such as oestrogen, when taken in large quantities can stimulate the growth of breasts.

This is why hormone treatments are prescribed to men who choose to undergo sex changes. Similarly, women who undergo sex changes are prescribed male hormones, such as testosterone, to stimulate the muscle development and facial/body hair.

they certainly can

yes.

If your a guy- just dont take pills or anything marked as a "girl" thing.

for example: dont try to use tampons
take birth control
and do not try to use the female changing rooms.
