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 🖕

    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
