Lol, because scripts for estrogen are so easy to come by as a man.
Honestly, its not that hard to get a legit prescription in some places. I just had a short online appointment to get mine, which I scheduled the night before (I also did have to get bloodwork, but that was for the spiro, not the E). I did clicked a box when I signed up for the appointment saying I was an NB, so maybe a man would have to click something other than man to get the prescription?
Might even have been easier than getting it diy.
I don’t want to get too deep in the weeds here but there are a few things that we have to work around, chief problem being the story’s narrator saying they didn’t know what estrogen would do (it occurs to me it could be a tongue in cheek post by a trans person for lols? “Oh, look, I grew boobs! How’d that happen?” Dunno. Anyway…), then expend the effort to find a way to get them and take the estrogen…because? I mean sure, there’s always someone to find a way around getting something they maybe shouldn’t, but I kinda hit a hard stop when someone says they regularly took pills and they didn’t know what the result would be. Ymmv.
I'm sure its just a "still cis tho" joke.
But was pretty surprised when my mom asked me like a year into me taking HRT if I knew HRT would change my body shape the way it did as if she had just learned about it and thought I would be surprised by the effects? Like... what did she think HRT was for? Since then, she's seem a lot more interested taking T though.
DIY
Bit of a leap to assume that rather than just some shady “order your overseas meds online” site. Also, that really doesn’t go with the whole “I had no idea that estrogen would do this to me” thing.
That's often how diy works, yes
Don't you hate it when you accidentally spend a year on E?
They sure are, I bet the fake and gay anon got it from his favorite cereal enriched with 100g of estrogen!
