Things that hormones will do to you physically:
the growth of breasts
enlargement of the nipples
redistribution of body fat over a long period of time to a female pattern
thinning of skin, with related translucency, softness
decreased libido
reduced muscle development (get that tummy in shape before you start — after it takes Forever)
significantly reduced body hair (similar to a female of the same ethnic makeup)
change in body odor and sweat production (where you sweat changes, how much, and you start to smell more like a female, especially in warm, well covered spaces)
less prominence of veins (thin fatty layer under skin develops)
ocular changes (get your eyes checked every six months)
gonadal size (smaller)
The prostate shrinks
The bladder shrinks (really annoying)
The line that runs down the underside of the penis and down the middle of the scrotum, the peno-scrotal raphe (where the urogenital folds fused early in the womb), will darken.
Minor water retention is likely (although what they call minor, well, feh)
The hips will rotate slightly forward due to changes in the tendons so hip discomfort is not uncommon.
Decreased insulin sensitivity, meaning higher risk of diabetes
Higher risk gall bladder disease.
Face will get more rounded over time, as fat accumulates ina female pattern there.
There are changes to the way the brain actually works that are irreversible, resulting in varying shifts in the way you think and react and feel.
