Can A Diabetic Take Estrogen To Have More Feminine Traits As Sex Change Operation Is Not Possible?

My husband has always wanted to have a sex change operation... but because of diabetes, he knows that won't happen .... we want to know if he could be using estrogen etc. to change his hair and facial hair and develope a more feminine bust line? Who should we talk to? The local Dr. sent us to 1 endocrine specialist who only works on diabetes and didn't have any help on who to talk to for info. We live in WA state. His age is 55. Thank you for any info.
