Honestly, “children getting SRS” is such a fucking braindead take. You can’t even get noncritical surgery until you’re at least 18 in most countries. Puberty blockers are safe and effective, so is HRT.

Trans minors deserve medical treatment, because the alternative (living life in a body “ruined” by puberty) is much, much worse and carries a high suicide risk and also lifelong severe body image issues.

I don’t want anyone to suffer the same fate. I don’t want anyone to hate themselves for what their body is or became. I stand with trans kids and I’ll gladly fight you on that, anytime. Fuck bigots 🖕

    Miisha, sorry if this isn’t the right place to ask the question, but why did you switch accounts?

      Absolutely agree with that meme. I have nothing but the deepest respect for DIY HRT providers. They are literally heroes to me.
      Not all heroes wear capes…some provide vials of concentrated E oil to the people in need ❤️

      I so wanna start a DIY hormone lab, lol. Not for the money at all (I’d sell them dirt cheap), but for the experience (I like chemistry :3) and also…in my mind it’s just doing the right thing. There aren’t enough DIY sources anyway.

          I wonder what it takes to make HRT from scratch…

          I don’t think much, honestly. Solvents, the actual chemicals (esters, probably powdered), oil, vials ofc…the biggest problem would probably be packaging and autoclaving (disinfecting with high temperatures and pressure, autoclaves are expensive af). Honestly, if you just sat me in a lab with all the necessary stuff, I’d probably be able to do it. I’ve never done it before, but I have a feeling that this really isn’t that hard. Just mixing stuff at the right concentrations.

          Great name idea, btw ^^

          Thanks 🤣
          Improvised but not bad!

        Crimethinc has a recipe, but it may be too boring for you. It’s meant mostly for ease of access and distribution

    i love how puberty blockers are so safe that the labour fucks in government had to do a specific carve out just to ban trans kids from them while letting cis kids stay on them.

    It’s incomprehensible that religious conservatives (or conservatives in general because, let’s be real, none of them truly live by any religious tenets) care more about what’s in people’s pants, who people love, and making sure the number of unwanted babies keeps breaking records rather than actual, real, tangible help for anybody but themselves. They’re absolutely the worst sacks of shit who have ever walked this planet (and that includes historical groups that view their place in the world the same as today’s conservatives).

    Meow you’re getting it.

    Doing things is hard and it isn’t profit maxxing. Just telling some lies and fearmongering? That’s ezpz.

      As a European, the ease of getting guns is the US is mindboggling to me.

      The first time I saw guns in a freaking Walmart I was like: “Mom! Dad! Look! Airsoft guns!” and when they told me…I was shocked, to say the least.

        And then you’re even from an area of europe the rest of us would consider in the “easy to get guns there” part.

            Remember that guy in Secret Little Haven who keeps trying to get Alex to go to the shooting range?

            Not kidding I’ve lived exactly that. I caved though because in my case this guy… Well its complicated, he’s weird but a good friend. I’ve shot more different guns in the last year and a half than I’ve seen across most of my life. ;-;

                Aside from being surrounded by conservatives who have 0 tact, being autistic and needing to wear earmuffs… Of which the only ones were branded with conservative symbology, it was alright. Fun enough for sure. Grateful I didn’t have to pay for anything at all too, so now I’ve just got shooting experience and if I ever need to use one I now know how to use a variety.

      I…don’t…think…so? That’s usually not what they do at schools?
      I’ve only ever heard of one case of a DIY orchi. It’s sad that it has to come to that…I wish we got all the medical care we needed.

      I know people who’ve gotten opiates at school and people who’ve gotten tattoos at school, but this might be a bit much. Unless doing the rubber band method, in which case, why at school?
