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 🖕

    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!
