Male to female transgender people, while taking hormones will begin to physically change; in the ways of a rounder body, softer skin, slightly higher voice, and the start of the development of breasts. Their male sexual reproductive organs will cease to function as they once did, but their genitals will not change without the assistance of surgery.
The same applies for female to male transgender people; hormone therapy plays a big part, but full changes will not take place without surgery.
Outwardly people will begin to dress, act, and present themselves as the gender they feel they should be, even before surgery takes place.
A transgender woman is born a male and they simply live as women. They may take hormones. The proper name is transgender woman. Transsexual women tend to get surgery and/or take hormones to grow breasts. Not all transsexual women consider themselves transgender. However, arguably, a person is neither transgender nor transsexual after surgery, since the goal for the surgery is usually to become completely female.
Many hospitals offer services for one desiring to undergo a gender change surgery. Another resource one might consult is "The Transgender Center" that offers support and other information.
Many men and women feel strongly they are physically a different sex than they are mentally and emotionally. They feel they are a man or woman trapped in a body of the opposite gender. This dissonance, called gender dysphoria, is often so profound and uncomfortable that many individuals experiencing it desire to be surgically and/or hormonally altered so they may physically resemble the sex they feel they are, which is the opposite of their physical appearance.

No
If a transsexual woman was born with a male body and had sexual relations with a female before her sex reassignment surgery (and preferably before hormone usage), then she has the same possibility as anyone else at getting the female pregnant.However, if a transsexual man was born with a female body and had sex reassignment surgery to become physically male, and had sexual relations with a female after the surgery, then no he cannot get a woman pregnant.Usage notes: Transsexuals and transgender are not the same thing. If someone will eventually get surgery, transsexual is the correct term, while if the person will never get surgery, transgender is the correct therm. People are born with transsexualism and get surgery to eliminate it. However, most transgenderism is a choice, and a transgender person doesn't become a transsexual. Transsexual persons get surgery to eliminate their transsexualism, conform, and gain the same rights as those born without it. Also, sex-reassignment is the correct term, since it is the physical sex that is changed, not the gender identity the person was born with. If a person discusses the condition of transsexualism, it is rude and in bad form to change the topic to transgenderism.
No, a transgender woman cannot get pregnant because she does not have a uterus, even after surgery. This may change one day in the future.
You can't.
Breasts that develop as a result of hormone therapy for transgender women are typically permanent, but they may change in size and shape over time, including from weight fluctuations. Top surgery, such as breast augmentation, may also be performed for more permanent results.
There is not currently a way one can change their eye color from brown eyes to green eyes or any other colors without contacts or surgery.
well you obviously can't..
They can get some male-like changes without surgery but with hormones. Facial hair, deeper voice. Together with exercise, more muscles.
A "transgender" is a way to say "transgendered person." It is not a term for a "transsexual" person (someone born with the need to get corrective genital surgery). There are various definitions of transgender and they are adjectives: they describe people as in "That person is transgendered." One definition is based on the idea that gender is not black and white, boy/girl, 1 or 0. In this definition, no one is all of anything, everyone is a mix, and there are even times in life where the %'s change based on the need of the individual. Look at prison life: most of the individuals that go in and come out are heterosexual, but while in prison the power struggle and lack of available females apparently cause a lot of homosexual behavior but the basic orientation still remains heterosexual. Transgendered in this case means that a person doesn't think they (or just doesn't) fit society's binary system. In the end, this definition of transgender would explain people's behavior better than the "male/female" only theory. Another definition is someone who deliberately lives in a way opposed to their physical sex. For example, if a person is born with female genitalia and wants to keep it, but expresses and feels that they are a boy mentally, then they are transgender. Transsexual and transgender is not the same thing since the term transsexual is only applicable to those born with a need to correct their genitals, while most transgender people desire to keep their original genitalia. A person is born with transsexualism, and after surgery, they are no longer transsexual, and have never been transgendered. It is a hurtful myth to say that a person becomes transsexual after surgery. The whole idea of the surgery is to stop having transsexualism and to get on with life as if they never had the condition. Transgender usually means someone who born one biological sex, but doesn't feel like they fit into that category, but who rarely get surgery. Transgender individuals usually do not identify with their biological sex. Transgender and transexual are two different categories because most transgender people do not have surgery to physically change their sex. Transsexuals are in the process of physically changing their sex. Transgender has more to do with how the individual identifies themselves (gender identity) rather than biological sex. Another definition is political in nature and refers to anyone who considers themselves as different in terms of sex or gender. Many transsexual persons refuse to be lumped in with the TG Community, but others like nonop TG persons or see political value in working together. The term transsexual relates to persons who have a gender (mental description) that is the opposite of the physical sexual organs of birth. This group is assigning the word transsexual to describe the state of having a gender that doesn't match your physical sex. In these cases, societies believe that gender and sex only come in 2 flavors, male/man female/woman. They ascribe to the idea that there are only these 2 modalities. A transsexual woman is not transgender because she was supposed to have a vagina. She was born with a female brain, and a feminine soul, and was supposed to be born with a vagina. But a typical transgender woman was really supposed to be born with a penis and live as a man, as evidenced by their lack of need for surgery.
