Your body can produce too much of either of those substances. My point stands. It’s as dangerous as going through puberty is in the first place. Caution is advisable, but to act like it is an extreme danger is ridiculous. Many things can be dangerous. In an ideal world we would have free blood tests and doctors. We dont live in that ideal world. DIY is far less dangerous than denying a trans person healthcare. The way we treat it like an extreme risk helps no one. It is also much more expensive and difficult to access by nature. If someone is seriously weighing it, then they must have weighed the risks against them as much higher. If someone has to pick between DIY and increased risk of suicide, they should pick DIY.
Healthcare isnt sacred because it comes from an approved distributor. If the knowledge can be given on how to self administer hormones, then it should be given. Everything in life bears an inherent risk. The inherent risk in DIY is miniscule compared with getting into a car. So if someone is considering it I think its pointless to try and convince them otherwise. The risk they may harm themselves may outweigh all other risks in their mind. They dont need to be reminded over and over again of the inherent risk of getting into a car. They’ve heard it before, and will hear it many times again before a vial of anything is in their hand.
my body produced 1/5th of the average hormones for my assigned gender at birth. It ABSOLUTELY fucked me up mentally, I can confirm this. On the bright side though now that I started HRT my body is like speed running transition
1 vial of E in and I already have boobs bigger than some cis women I know lmao
