I have heard this as a reason for DIY HRT distributors to take on the extra risk of compounding and distributing T as well, so trans men aren’t left behind and because risk already exists distributing anyway. Seems a bit like a fallacy, but I appreciate people are taking seriously providing DIY access to trans men. It’s tragic their sex hormones are criminalized …
People don’t like to hear this, but Biden played no small part in this. This was back in the 90s when people started making doping in sports a political issue, so wham bam Man JuiceTM is illegal except through a doctor.
we are so past needing to protect Biden’s image to hold together tenuous alliances to win elections for harm reduction reasons
but yeah, Biden was an old timey Drug Warrior, his legacy has aged like milk - yet it was his administration that finally managed to lower the scheduling of cannabis, so again the Democrats manage to hold onto the claim of Lesser Evil (even while full throatedly defending genocide)
It really makes no sense to me that it is regulated strongly in the first place. Why should T be illegal because of a few body builders? Just have steroid use be illegal in sports the way it already is. It being “dangerous” when misused is hardly a good reason, when we allow so many other more dangerous substances and won’t even question their availability.
US drug laws are extremely irrational, and it’s not really surprising given they were designed to punish and criminalize undesirable elements in society, like racial minorities and political enemies. Medical and scientifically justified concerns about safety were never really a motivation for the laws.
This is the case in most countries. Having and using E is fine and legal, but distributing it is different.
