  • You can cause yourself some serious health issues if you fuck your HRT dosage up, which is easy to do if you’re DIYing. If you do sufficient research beforehand, and get regular blood tests though you should be fine.

    Honestly, depending on where you live, well-researched DIY can be safer AND more effective than going to a doctor. Atleast in the US most doctors don’t know shit about trans healthcare, since it isn’t a standard part of med school curriculums. My first endocrinologist straight up just asked me what medicines and dosages I wanted then wrote me a prescription for them. Fortunately I had been researching HRT pretty voraciously before even making the appointment so I was able to guide him through my care well enough till I found a better doctor.




  • Well, if OP is from the US we typically have to pay at just about any interaction with the government.

    They haven’t managed to charge us to vote yet, but I genuinely can’t think of any other meaningful, direct interaction I’d have with a government office that doesn’t involve me playing money.

    Edit for clarity: by paying money, I mean by a means other than taxes.
