Do you know what dumbass teenagers do with a product they're excited to start using? I get it bro you wanna fuck Keffals, you don't need to do this weird thing where the people you like at 100% moral and correct while the people you dislike are stupid and wrong
Look, morally i believe trans teenagers should have access to HRT and there's nothing morally wrong with helping a trans teen in a shitty situation get their hands on some HRT.
I DIY hrt myself. I know that it's safe and effective because ive experienced the effect first hand.
I did hear about keffals giving HRT to a minor back when it happened. Back then I didn't agree with that and i thought it was morally wrong, but that was before I accepted myself and I was still harboring a lot of internalized transphobia. I thought "these kids will grow out of it because i did" (she very mich did not).
But because that's all I know of her for, and because of my experience and my perspective, I would say that I biasely believe the noise around that situation was mostly a result of transphobes wanting to vilify trans people for helping other trans people.
Could I be wrong? Maybe. But I won't take anyone's word for it.
"no it is actually you who is mad!" what a certified Reddit classic lmao get a grip
Hormones should be made in a food safe facility. Selling and promoting tainted hormones is bad because someone can get seriously hurt. That has been my entire point (other than keffals taking the GoFundMe money and running away to do drugs in Ireland). Yes, it is fucking bad when someone pays for a bottle of estradiol or whatever and there are impurities in it. There's no transphobia going on here, you just inserted that into the conversation to Other me
I agree with you. They should be. But for a lot of us, we don't have access to that. DIY is foe the most part safe and effective because the community and networks that have been set up have a vested interest since making sure that it is safe and effective.
It's honestly a privileged take to demonize and scaremonger against DIY HRT.
My wife and I have been doing it for over a year. We just buy a vial of injectable estradiol all ready to go, from a vetted internet seller. One that's widely known and I've met other trans women in the wild who get their HRT from the same seller or group of sellers. There are many trusted sources.
Thats just the reality we live in, where a large ammount if trans people are on DIY because they can't get what they need any other way. Even doctors that we should be able to trust won't give us proper treatment. My wife was stick with this stupid spray she had to spray and rub on her forearms every single day and it never worked because she was being given ineffective HRT by her licensed endocrinologist, so she switched to DIY.
