Honestly there is so much anti diy fear mongering in the trans community at this point I’m fully convinced it’s a psyop being run on us

different but related, but it’s incredibly interesting considering how the medical community (and medicalization of transness, searching for biological indicators of queerness/sexuality/ etc., gender dysphoria/transness being a diagnosis,) are components in maintaining existing heteronormative gender/sexuality regulation

Same stuff and production regulations as normal hrt Only difference is u need to do ur own blood testing analysis which consists of looking at a number and increasing ur dose to get it closer to what is written online Also don’t forget u don’t learn trans stuff in med school so u can learn the same level of knowledge as a doctor on ur own time

"i've heard not good things" yes that is the fearmongering the post is referring to

particularly I’m thinking of the essay “mutilating gender” by dean spade, which is a little outdated, but discusses a lot of these ideas

cause in essence a lot of the fear/fear mongering around diy is ‘it’s dangerous to do this medical thing (hormones) without a doctor’s direct approval/oversight’, but one could question why like hormonal transition (esp when it isn’t surgery) has to be that medicalized in the first place, instead of being closer to like, (bad example but) a tattoo or other body mod

I mean if you're not gonna specify what the "not good things" are how are we supposed to convince you otherwise? We can't correct misinformation if we don't know what we're correcting
