Hot take: the massively anti-DIY-HRT position of mainstream Western trans communities is a sign of the massive privilege of being able to access trans-friendly health care, and people in that position should spend more time thinking about the fact that for many people, it’s “DIY or nothing ever”.

Absolutely. And take a minor step out of the most privileged trans communities, and you’ll also find a LOOOOT of people in Europe and the US doing DIY-HRT because the health care systems in place leave a looooooooot of us stranded with no care, unaffordable care or endless waiting lists and abusive clinics.

SUPPORT DIY-HRT.

Worried about the risk? Well, stop fearmongering and start:

• Organize skill-sharing

  for DIY-HRT

• Organize funds for those that need to buy hormones
• Organize safer access to hormones without a prescription
• Organize medication tests, blood tests and bone scans through GPs and anonymous free clinics
• Protest against gate-keeping
