In short, it's another hormone.

It's still debated whether and when it's useful for trans women to take, and it can therefore be difficult to find a doctor who'll prescribe it - but some people who do take it report increased breast fullness / roundness, and increased libido.

There's little risk associated with taking it, so a fair amount of transfemmes try it out just to see whether it produces desirable effects for them.

Thanks a lot for the explanation.
