They are called testosterone blockers Sean. They are injected with the child's consent into their body and get rid of testosterone in order to allow estrogen to grow in the body. Other bits of surgery give the typical biology of a woman. (So in other words your whole wanting of Alex to have a biological child instead of an adopted one is not happening) Not all trans women go through this process. (Mostly because they don't have the money) However the actress did and so does the character since most CW characters have money for years despite their lack of careers.
