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 😔
I always wondered about FtM DIY because of that. I know there are bodybuilder sites and overseas sites for it and generally people aren't getting prosecuted for having it. It just seems like something they'll start prosecuting in order to get to trans folks.
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
Oh that's good
Don't worry, I will be there for you 🫡
