I'm taking my own first steps by binding my chest. That's a good start for me.]]></description>

It simply replaces your hormones that are already in your body.  If you are FTM, it replaces the estrogen in your body.  If you are MTF, you take estrogen tablets that replaces...]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Joe, 
  
 Actually it's andrenaline produced by the andrenal glands that produces the "flight or fight response" not the <a href="http://www.dailystrength.org/treatments/Testosterone" onclick="treatmentHotLink('http://www.dailystrength.org/treatments/Testosterone')" class="treatmentlink" title="Learn more about Testosterone">testosterone</a>, it also produces the strength to lift a car if a loved one happens to be crushed by one. Hence the term: andrenaline rush.
