    Bit harder to do that though if you’re not on T yet. And T is harder to get than E, because of sporters abusing it as doping, leading to more strict regulation…

    In a society that’s often still focused around digenderism, perhaps the following is easier:

    an hoodie, jeans, binder, shorter hair. For the dick you could fold a sock, put bands around it, and then put it in your underwear (boxer shorts work well for this).

      I would have assumed that if you are in a situation, where you can get HRT legally through the health care system, it is about equal, since it is just one of many more or less controlled drugs. And if you cannot get it through the health care system, I would have assumed there is a large grey/black market due to body builders and doping. Is that not the case? I really don’t know, I haven’t taken either and don’t really intend to.

        It varies by country, but it seems like estrogen is often not actually illegal to import and administer yourself, whereas buying/selling/taking testosterone without a prescription is actively illegal.

        I would personally never trust the safety of illegal drugs outside of a really community-focused situation like weed and mushrooms sometimes have. Everyone knows it’s safe because Jeff grew it himself kind of deal. Even if the T itself is legit, you could fuck yourself up without regular health checks. I don’t know if estrogen is as dangerous.
