Periods are often a source of distressing gender dysphoria for nonbinary people who were assigned female at birth. There are several ways of preventing periods:
 * Transmasculine hormone therapy, such as Testosterone: Testosterone will prevent periods (although the changes won't be immediate).
 * Progestogens, such as birth control pills: these will also prevent (or, at least, decrease) periods, although they are not as effective as testosterone. However, they won't cause masculinisation.
 * Aromatase inhibitors: aromatase inhibitors increase the testosterone that is already found in any person's body. However, it has menopausal-like side effects (such as fatigue, headache, etc.).
 * Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators: SERMs are not commonly used on transmaculine people for this purpose, as they also cause menopausal-like side effects.
 * GnRH agonists: also known as "puberty blockers" within the transgender community, they are not recommended as a long-term solution, as they cause poor bone health.
