Hey, remember how just a few weeks ago trans folks were sounding the alarm about how The Gaurdian was seeking interviews for a story about DIY HRT?
And remember how there were a few folks on here who were saying that was misinformation cause some folks at the Gaurdian said it was false on twitter?
Lo and behold, turns out you should trust your own community more than the fucking journalists with a heavy anti-trans reputation! Use common sense next time and don't be so naive!

You can be opposed to taking DIY hormones yourself, but don't treat trans people who DIY like they're stupid or they're uneducated. Oftentimes, people DIY because there are no other options for them. What you do about people who DIY is basic harm reduction - that means educating as many people as possible about the safest ways to monitor hormone levels, how to inject safely if they're taking injectable hormones, teaching people about common signs of hormone imbalance, among other things.
DIY hormones already have risks, and people who DIY know that. The least you can do is not shame them or treat them like they're stupid because they DIY. Again, people will often DIY as a last resort because trans healthcare is rapidly being targeted.

Made this throwaway acc cause my friend told me I should make an acc on tumblr; I'm a trans girl recently turned 18 and jobless and the wait times in my country are slow as hell so I was wondering if anyone could pitch in 3 or 4 buckaroos to my bitcoin address so I can afford HRT diy; All I could scrounge up was 'round 40 bucks

Offer for any trans person struggling to access gender-affirming hormone therapy on prescription
For many trans folks, especially in the UK, access to gender-affirming hormone therapy (GAHT) requires years of waiting and gatekeeping. Even when it's provided, it may be titrated or limited, rather than being provided in full, due to further gatekeeping and bad medical practice.
As such, I would like to advise that my DMs are always open to any trans person who wants to access GAHT as cheaply, quickly, and safely as possible without a prescription or gatekeeping.
For those who do not feel comfortable messaging me here or want to read more about HRT science, I recommend the following resources:
https://transfemscience.org/ - trans fem and non-binary fem
https://diyhrt.info/ - info on fem and masc HRT
https://www.reddit.com/r/TransDIY/wiki/index/
I have a pinned thread on my account in the fediverse (currently a Mastodon instance), which contains further resources and information:
https://cultofshiv.wtf/@SleepyCatten/109847558139671842
I spend most of my time in the fediverse, but I will look back regularly for questions here.

if I had a nickel for each time a doctor nonchalantly brought up something about me that has made me have a Jimmy Neutron style Brain Blast while analysing the entire lived experience of my body I would now have 2 nickels

For the past few months I've been experimenting with using black cohosh to enable healthily having 0 estrogen and 0 testosterone (i.e. eunuch or castrate levels) and I wanna share the results! It was pretty promising so I think this could be cool as a new biological sex that people could transition to

(disco elysium anon, wanted to send this separately) (and i'm sorry if this is invasive/whatever, also no pressure to respond to this at all! but if you want to talk more/ask questions then let me know however you'd like, i'm happy to send you a proper message and whatever you need)
anyway my point is: you mentioned a gender clinic referral in a tag and i'm a trans man also in the uk with a lot of experience in that area so i thought this might help in some way 👌🏼
if you've gone through the nhs, the wait times are astronomical (the shortest one is about 15 months, the longest around 62 months). the current legal limit on nhs referrals is a matter of weeks so it's literally criminal but that's another story lmao
if you go on the 'transgenderuk' subreddit there's a pinned post with current wait times and there's a wealth of information and people happy to help with anything from name changes to 3 stage surgery. also the nhs are notorious for just. not referring people to their gender clinics so if you did go through them it may make sense to give them a ring and check they did their job!
if you went through a private gender clinic and haven't heard back in months, 1000% follow up. the longest reply time i've heard is a month or two and the longest appointment wait i've seen is 7 months
lastly: there is another route. it's a lot more popular for transfems to do it, given feminising hormones are legal here but masculinising ones aren't, but transmascs (myself included) can 'diy' hormones, if hormones are the transition route you're after. even after i checked with like... tons and tons of people and different resources i was still terrified but it does work! also i get if a stranger on tumblr dot com doesn't reassure you, but i wanted to let you know about the option because it honestly saved my life and i think more transmascs need to know about this as a route especially those in this hell country lolol
for more info i would recommend the diy hrt wiki, just google that term and it should come up. i should mention though, with this though you're probably going to have to inject yourself which i know isn't for everyone (i used to need to have someone on facetime with me for like 45 minutes hyping me up lol). there is gel available on some sites but it's super expensive. also some sites will have tablets for sale but they don't work to masculinise unfortunately. OH and it's also recommended that you do blood tests semi regularly (once or twice a year) to test sex hormones and some other things like your liver, which you'll probably have to pay for yourself if you diy - in saying this though, the cost of 6 private blood tests, and 3 years worth of T and injection equipment would cost about the same as the initial appointments you need with the more reliable of the 2 private gender clinics. something something seize the means of transition
anyway. this is an absolutely insanely long message and i'm so so sorry if this is too much and too like... invasive but whats the point of having trans resources if you dont share them and whats the point of having a trans community if you dont trans commune 😎🏳️‍⚧️
WHATTTT THSI IS CRAZY THANK U. LOVE YOU. i definitelyyyyy need to look into it all more and start DOING SHITTT bc yeah this stupid fuck country SUCKKKKS. i did go thru nhs and cant afford to do private rn but ill tryyy to chase it :] THANK UUUU this is so so sweet i cld cryyyy 😭😭😭

trans flag in monopoly :3
(i am currently very mad at the healthcare system as i am attempting to convince my mother to get me a psychologist but they are very very very expensive and we cannot afford and i won't be able to afford it when im older, especially with student loans too, so i will never receive a gender dyphoria diagnosis and i will die and nothing matters anymore)
