    Links to DIY HRT info would be appreciated. I’m sure a lot of us are going to need it.

      That’s going to get a lot of people messed up with fake info and predatory suppliers pushing bad meds. :(

        I meant like an article of good info, what to look out for, what to be mindful of, etc. Not a link to a supplier.

        Added a word to my other post to clarify.

          I just mean this information in general. Not against your question. People need to be careful of DIY medical stuff in general. There’s a reason certain substances are controlled.

            Well yeah, but if the choice is hating life every day again and spending another multiple decades living with suicidal ideation, I’m sure myself and other trans folks are going to take that risk.

            So, information on how to go about it in the least harmful way possible is helpful.

            The only controlled substance used for hrt is testosterone.

            There’s trusted suppliers that sell original pharma made drugs, as well as trusted suppliers who produce their own.

            Of course don’t go to a random site you found on a search engine but the reality is that safe suppliers exist and they’re the only way some people can access HRT.

    This headline presented me with a chilling thought: what if we’re heading for a transition to gendered care? Only male doctors can see male patients and only female doctors can see female patients?

    Eventually, with the return of “women shouldn’t be allowed to be practicing doctors.“
