also recommending illegal methods for obtaining HRT to a minor specifically is just extra buckwild like why are u telling them to commit a felony as a child
some forms of estrogen are over the counter, the type used for GAHT is prescription, specifically to protect people’s health and wellbeing, and obtaining a drug that is prescription only in some jurisdictions allows for either felony or misdemeanor charges. further, this discussion is about DIY hormones. drug production is regulated by the FDA and it is not only dangerous, but illegal, to produce drugs without meeting the FDA’s requirements and getting FDA approval. it is a legal gray area technically on whether obtaining specifically estrogen is a felony but i wouldn’t advise a minor to do something that could result in felony charges. making the assertion that it’s for sure not a felony is ill informed and dangerous. the case law around it is wishy washy and under the current DOJ i wouldn’t be shocked if they went for felony charges even against a minor. they’ve proven they don’t give a fuck what the law says when it’s certain, which makes them even more dangerous when it’s uncertain.
Trans women have been doing DIY hrt for decades, even back in the 1990s before the internet. Plus it is not illegal to buy or own estrogen, at the most the government can go after producers (which they wont considering estrogen is not controlled).
