    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.
