there is a voice that comes from the back of its throat right as soon as no light reaches its insides. there is a voice at the back part of its head kind of more on the right side but it depends. there is a voice that comes from somewhere in its mouth but sometimes from the eyes.

The (slightly less) broke tgirl's guide to HRT

Other guides: Breast forms

(This is less of a "broke tgirl" guide because you can't really get hrt without money but i'm keeping the naming convention)

We'll be covering two things in this post: How to get started on injections, and an alternative if you can't do needles.

Injections are generally considered the first avenue to (DIY) HRT.

Depending on your situation, it can be easier or cheaper to go a more legal route. In that case, it will be highly dependant on country, so search country specific information.

The cost of DIY injection

Monetarily, a vial of estrogen will cost you between 40-80$, and lasts somewhere between a year and a year and a half. Supplies for the injection (needles, syringes, swabs), should usually run you to about 50$ for 2 years. (These are US prices, and may vary in other regions, but should usually not change much)

The cost in time will be up to a day every year for ordering the vial and supplies (if you get used to it, much less), and the cost in time of doing an injection will be up to 30 minutes, usually about five minutes, usually once a week.

How to:

This is just an overview. For a more in depth guide, if you're doing anything more than considering diy, PLEASE, refer to diyhrt.info

The usual proposed method is to inject about 4mg of estradiol in intramuscular or subcutaneous. Subcutaneous can mean smaller needles, and be easier for some. The rough process is:

grab supplies

sanitize vial and leg

draw air into needle

enter needle into vial

expel air

draw estrogen

extract needle

inject

remove needle

sanitize leg and vial again

It's far from impossible, and if needles are possible from you, it's a very good option. I usually recommend valerate, as it has a somewhat easy to follow schedule (weekly), and is relatively easy to access.

Of note, estrogen injection massively lower your alcohol tolerance on the days your levels are at their peak.

The alternative

Some girls can't do needles. DIY estrogel is an alternative for them.

A good source: Hrt Mom.

Once again, if you're doing anything more than considering it, check the sources. This is just an overview.

Estrogen is applied on the skin, and left to dry, usually 2 to 3 times a day. My personal recommendation is applying it on the inner thigh (as it generally has a better absorption, and rubbing one thigh against the other to apply the gel, then leaving it to dry. Drying usually takes up to 15 minutes.

Estrogen gel can be bought (see the link for injections), but often at a high cost. Depending on source, it will cost you between 100 and 500$ a year.

Making estrogel is relatively easy, thankfully. All that you will need is some hand sanitizer (easy to source, and estradiol powder (quite cheap). Finding a source for that powder may be harder, but you can find it at Dragonordnance, a relatively trustworthy source, or, from recommendations, Purple panda lab. Gel generally doesn't last very long, so you'll have to make it relatively often.

Go forth and feminize yourselves!

Footnote: Buying diy hrt means often needing to pay in cryptocurrency. You can learn how here.

Remember: adjust your dose based on how it feels, and the effects you feel, not on hitting or missing some target.

Stop reading theory that is elitist and doesn't save anybody. You heckin Walmart firebombing wannabe! That pales in comparison to my plan, writing fanfiction and attending protests in Seattle. *picks up my protest sign that says "possums are cool, fascism is not"*

going to completely brush the whole “billionaires get to commit sex crimes so we should also be able to!” thing under the rug for a second. this illustrates one of the most infuriating things about this website. people just think about everything in terms of fanfiction. i remember hearing people on here talk about project 2025, and the point they kept bringing up was “THEY’RE GOING TO MAKE FANFICTION ILLEGAL!” i always think… do you people have any fucking problems outside of fanfiction? you’d think that they would at least say something like “i’d like to marry someone i love someday” or “i’d like to be openly gay at work” but these people don’t have jobs or lovers. all they’ve got is good omens fanfiction.

Any good tips for learning anatomy? And please dont say "just find the natural shapes within the figure" MY BRAIN CAN'T DO THAT 😭

[apathyarchon]

i know it’s lowk what you said not to do but hold on.

first you’re gonna wanna define some shapes for each stiff part of the body (head, lungs/thoracic cavity, and hips). these are NOT necessarily the ‘natural shapes’—try to imitate the actual parts on the body. it will seem totally unusual and unnatural but just pick something and stick with it.

then you want to just spam gesture drawings using the fundamental shapes you just defined. like pages and pages and pages. i like to either search for references on pinterest or use sketchdaily and sort by whatever i want out of their filters.

it’s mind numbing sometimes and definitely a grind but also fun at times. i’ll leave some helpful links (link) as well + message me for any clarification :)
