Transgender M2F and body hair

Please don't laugh but I was doing research on body hair. Most of the info I was about to get my hands on insists that terminal hair will not change and I was confused b/c some women on this site insist that terminal hair can change. Well, anyway, I checked out this site which gives info to transgender male to female individuals.

http://www.transgendercare.com/medical/resources/tmf_program/tmf_program_7.asp

These males are taking estrogen and antiandrogens...and the site gives info on what kind of results to expect. If you scroll down to the 'body hair' section, it says:

<Body Hair

Depending on how hirsute (possessing hair) an individual's body may be, body hair will generally lessen noticeably to almost entirely over a period of several years. Individuals will generally notice a diminishment of bodily hair occurring on the extremities, and most of the torso. As example, arm and leg hair as well as hair on the abdomen, chest, and shoulders will greatly lessen and in some instances disappear completely. Hair growth in specific regions including that around the areola, armpits and pubic area will not lessen to the same extent.>

Shouldn't this apply to us as well? :)
