I swear, if I hear about another openly queer (and also non-TERF) person opposing DIY HRT in the current sociopolitical climate, I am going to owe my landlord for minor property damages.
i.e. I am going to bang my head against a wall until I break through to the other side.
I don’t oppose DIY HRT in the slightest, I just wish that when people are talking about it there was a little more acknowledgment that DIY is a LOT more dangerous (legally) for people using testosterone.
There’s a lot of ‘just buy it online!’ which makes sense for estrogen, because as far as I know the only risk of importing that for personal use in the US is it getting confiscated by customs. In comparison testosterone is a schedule III drug, in the same class as ketamine and opium. Just possessing it without a prescription is a crime, and if someone even has more than a 30 day supply in some states they can end up in prison.
Tl;dr: DIY good, testosterone laws bad, please keep us trans men and trans mascs in your thoughts 😔
Am getting old cis man. Wish I could share the natural extra testosterone that causes testosterone-based problems. Best I can do is a high 5 for the bros. I’ll bring it every time.
PS I know nothing about anyone’s stash of testosterone they keep in their old prescription bottles.
balding guys sharing their testosterone like vampires opening their veins to welcome another into their fold
Sorry, but the phrase “It’s not gay when he sucks it out” popped into my head.
i’m NOT a vampire i’m just sharing immortality with a bro, no hemo
please keep us trans men and trans mascs in your thoughts 😔
Don’t worry, I will be there for you 🫡
Then you have the opposite end of the spectrum, people who don’t want you to talk about the legal risks because they think you’re trying to discourage them.
Fight the power, but know what you’re doing. That’s how you minimize risk.
All the based people already switched to mastodon/bluesky.
I’m not opposed to it because it’s illegal, I’m opposed to it because sweet mercy you are going to poison yourself
