@ko @RosethornRanger No one is running away from anything or withdrawing support. Resources regarding where you can get T exist and are being shared around. Privately. Over secure channels. As to not put people in danger unnecessarily. Because that's the smart and safe way. Is it only siblinghood when you unnecessarily endanger yourself just to make others feel a little more seen? Do you not realize that openly sharing this information on social media would immediately draw attention and lead to DIY HRT sources getting raided and shut down? Like, think about this for just a second instead of immediately jumping to the conclusion that this is a case of fellow queers not giving a shit about transmascs. No one is stopping you from posting about where you can buy T but don't be surprised when the source suddenly shuts down a week from now.
E is much less regulated so you can make posts like this without endangering yourself or the suppliers. With T this is not the case in many countries.
@[email protected] @njion @RosethornRanger i can’t see any of ko’s posts here (fediblock or epic federation fail?) but one resource i can find for trans men is the diyhrt.info transmasculine guide
it lists sources too (publicly, much unlike your suggestion that it’s all being shared privately). curiously, it seems like none of them target trans men, but instead bodybuilders. the sources page also links a bodybuilding forum, in which you can probably find more sources, all listed publicly.
this is pretty interesting tbh, it seems like T is more illegal to obtain but there’s a much bigger underground economy for it, mostly cis men wanting bigger muscles, than there is for E, which is almost(?) entirely trans women as cis women don’t have communities for DIY menopause treatment.. i’m curious to know how difficult it actually is to obtain T vs E given this
like at very least the risk profile for diyhrt sources is different. T ones aren’t gonna get hatecrimed as they don’t primarily target trans people but they are selling controlled substances so cops might come for that, while E isn’t controlled usually besides being prescription medicine but it’s transgender-specific..
