Most transgender people who undergo transition use hormones.
It is impossible to know, because there are so many of them. Hi, I'm Sarah and I am a transgender woman in transition and I am 6'5" tall.
FTM is an abbreviation that stands for "Female-to-Male" and refers to transgender individuals. This means a person who was born genetically female but has transitioned -- or is in the process of transitioning -- to live as a male. Testosterone injections and surgeries may be a part of this transition.
No, biologically, a vagina is a female reproductive organ typically present in individuals assigned female at birth. However, some transgender men may undergo medical procedures to create neovaginas as part of their transition.
In a sense, yes. :) the transition is. Just being transgendered in general has nothing to do with cosmetics, but a person's transition and surgery are very cosmetic.

In English, hijra is typically translated as "transgender" or "eunuch." It is a term used in South Asia to describe individuals who may not fit traditional binary gender roles and who may undergo gender transition or castration.
This is a very broad question. You do not need to transition or get gender reassignment surgery just because you are transgender. Many transgender persons never go through either process. Often a gender-knowledgeable therapist can help you decide what is right for you. There are as many reasons to not transition as there are to transition. The heart of the whole matter is "What do you need to live your life to the fullest and accept yourself as you accept others?" No one can tell you this, it's something you have to know from inside; just like knowing you are transgendered, no one else can tell you, it has to come from within.
The first stage in transition is to speak to a therapist about your feelings, and your expectations from transition. From there, your therapist will advise you on the steps to take in order to further your transition, assuming you want to. However, most TG persons don't transition. They simply dress and present as the other sex without needing genital surgery like most transsexual persons do. They may see therapists, take hormones, or get minor procedures (face or breasts), but that is usually as far as they go. Transsexual persons have a need to go all the way and to assimilate into the Mainstream, not partially transition and resign themselves to living as a TG.
people who feel attracted to the same gender romantically, and people who change their body's gender, I say their body's gender because you need to understand the people who transition are basically trapped in the wrong body until they transition.
