Tuesday 17 May 2022 12:07 PM 60p 'sex change' pills are being sold online trends now
Sex change pills that claim to make users 'grow boobs' are being sold on eBay, MailOnline can reveal.
The online marketplace is housing dozens of listings for 'feminiser' and 'masculine- transitioning' tablets, which can be bought for as little as 60p a pill.
They are marketed using voluptuous women or musclebound men with sellers of the most popular products located in London, Bristol and Newcastle.
Most of the items seen by MailOnline made dubious health claims, which doctors warned were designed to prey on desperate patients with gender dysphoria.
One aimed at trans women said just one daily pill could help them 'grow boobs', develop a 'pert and feminine bottom' and make their voice 'higher and ladylike'.
Another marketed at trans men claimed to be able to 'grow facial hair', 'increase strength and muscle mass' and 'shrink breasts'.
Some of the products have been purchased hundreds of times, despite no proof any of the listed ingredients will cause the desired effect.
Doctors told MailOnline that at best they are snake oil supplements that do nothing but at worst they may contain body-warping hormones.

'Transform Hormone Feminizer Pills', which had been purchased 380 times, were also available on the marketplace
An eBay spokesman admitted the listings breached its terms of services and removed several of the items pointed out by MailOnline.
But dozens of similar products were still available on the online marketplace at the time of writing.
Among those still live was Mr Masculine Transitioning Pills, whose seller is based in Enfield, London.
The tub of 30 pills was listed for £19.99, working out at around 60p per pill.
'Transform Hormone Feminizer Pills', which had been purchased 380 times, were also available on the marketplace.
The seller, based in Newcastle, charged £23.99 for a tub of 30 daily pills, with a 'make an offer' option which means they could sell for cheaper.
The cheapest item on the marketplace was a listing for Feminizer Gender Change Pills, which could be bulk-bought for £17.66.
In the description, the listing brags that the pills are 'used by Thai ladyboys' and are the 'finest you can buy'.
Despite claims on many of the listings that the pills boost oestrogen or testosterone, the hormones altered during authentic gender transitioning therapy, most of the ingredients in the supplements were bulking agents or natural herbs shown to have virtually no effect on hormone levels.

Dr Zakariya Waqar-Uddin, an NHS GP based in Manchester, told MailOnline: 'These sellers are preying on desperation.
'They've got patients up against the wall, who are in a situation where they feel they are in the wrong gender, they are very distressed.
'People who are on long waiting lists or are too embarrassed to come forward to see a doctor might be tempted by this black market.'
