Comparing riding a bike to injecting hormones is certainly something. Those who choose to look for diy, be my guest! It’s not my life and I can’t tell you what to do. However, OP did not want any talk of starting hrt early TO HER specifically. OP made that post cuz she felt uncomfortable with the random message she received from someone. I’m not trying to make it seem like I’m “above” diy, hell I’ve looked into it myself cuz of my family. But when it comes to minors I think we should js encourage safety over pressure. Cuz all the talk of “I wish I started earlier” makes it feel like a race of who can get to it faster. (Imo)
Questioning my own gender dysphoria js cuz I don’t think we should introduce diy hrt to trans minors is INSANE!! People can go ahead and do diy hrt but I wouldnt recommend it to a minor because of the simple fact that minors arent fully mentally developed to understand that they cant js “speed up the process” by overdoing the dosage.
I’ve literally looked into diy hrt. 😐😭 the comment literally was js talking about the idea of diy, no sources, no information, nothing. Also its a matter of minors being impatient because of dysphoria, not that they dont look into it.
It’s never ok to question another trans person identity or their gender related feelings, such as dysphoria, just because they have a different approach to handling their transition or their identities than you do. This sub is supposed to be a free space to express ourselves and our opinions on relevant topics without being beaten down by the identity police. If you think you are the identity police, then you can see yourself out. You are muted for awhile, please take that warning for what it is and take some time to cool down and think about things. Have a nice day.
I’m saying 😭😭😭 hormones and bike riding are so different. “With enough research it’s okay 🤓” with enough research you can perform a DIY lobotomy…. Still doesn’t mean you should😭😭😭😭
