The rise in âDIY HRTâ is so disturbing
No bloodwork. No liver panels. No monitoring for blood clots or electrolyte imbalances. Just hormones off a sketchy website and someone on Tiktok telling you itâs brave.
Transition with cross sex hormones involves ongoing labs for a reason,those checks catch dangerous complications before they become emergencies. Skipping that isnât bodily autonomy, itâs reckless, and itâs disturbing how casually it gets pushed on people, especially the young and vulnerable, like affirmation matters more than whether theyâre physically safe.
That is especially dangerous if you're female, because since we have two main sexual hormones our hormonal balance is much more tricky and delicate to deal with than in male bodies, that have one main sexual hormone, which results in them being able to take more liberties with hormone supplementation with less negative consequences. Even a little hormonal imbalance in women can cause tons of negative effects both in the short and long run
