Essentially. I believe it's going to be sent soon and I'm curious as to wether it:
A) works and I start brewing injectable estrogen in my kitchen.
Or
B) doesn't work and I start brewing anthrax in my kitchen.
probably smarter to just buy vials ... most people don't have the skills or equipment to safely homebrew their own vials
either way, weird about your rage ... if I were you, I would be aiming to get a path towards an orchi - monotherapy never seemed to perfectly suppress my testosterone and I pretty much always had gaps where T production happened due to shifts in my hormones (even when my blood estrogen levels remained very high). I didn't really get full relief until my orchi, and for insurance requirements I had to be on supervised HRT for a whole year before I could initiate that.
Not sure you're in the US or what the access to care looks like there, but those are plans I would be making and working towards if possible.
I have a master's in medical biology and years of biochemical lab experience.
I'm not going to get an orchidectomy, because the future is extremely uncertain right now. I live in a country that borders Russia and if I can't get/brew estrogen, I'd rather partially detransition than get osteoporosis which I have a family history of.
Besides in the case of invasion, I'm going to need to lean into the anger.
That's great - sometime we should chat 😁
I suspect once you start estrogen your perspective might shift a bit. Either way, I hope you stay safe 🩷
