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!
"Absentmindedly", like it was an accident?
C-cups in a year?
Such nonsense, very 4chan.
I had C cups at 4 months. Not implausible.
I'm deeply envious. XD
C cups sound big but on a trans woman they might not be. I got C cups in 6 months and you wouldn't know it to look at me.
Six months? Damn, you're speedrunning shit. I got the same, 7 months in.
Rn 8 months. Maybe it's because of the band width being wider, so the fat is more spread out. I got 80C in my case, so it's just about visible.
trade me your awesome genes🙏😭
It's not what it sounds like, most people would guess I am an A cup.
For real, I've been on E for over two years and I'm just barely past an A-cup.

Seems pretty small for a sterotypical overweight internet edge lord.
What has their weight to do with it? Really no reason to fat-shame! :(
I definitely tried to be as absent minded about it all for the first year. Mentally things happen fast. Physically, if you are waiting to actually see something you'll go crazy. You have to pretend like nothing unusual is going on and boom 3 or 4 months go by and you actually notice the difference. I can't be the only one that did this.
I had a friend who took a photo every day. Can confirm, she went crazy. She has a really cool timelapse now though, which she says was almost worth the inordinate amount of mental anguish she caused herself.
I felt like they were doing shit for the first few months, kept taking them but I'd sorta given up expectations, year in suddenly I realize I have boobs
Mind, I'm autistic, have ocd, and a generally chaotic irl, I am not claiming to he normal

Hmmm yes, average "straight" "male" on 4chan
Fake and gay
I want to know how the fuck you "absent-mindedly" get your hands on estrogen because there are some trans friends of mine who've had massive issues with sourcing it.
Where I'm at, a lot of the weed dealers have shifted to E post-legalization. You love to see it
To me this falls in the yes it’s a neat thing, no it’s depressing that it has to be done this way.
I'm pretty sure they're joking. E is slang for ecstasy, not estrogen.
Porque no los dos?
Vanuatan pharmacies that deliver globally. In a lot of countries estrogen is gray market
Could you perhaps link to these? For research purposes ofc
Search inhousepharmacy. Here's a list of places I found but haven't vetted. Worst case here's a diy approach I've never tried.
Legal disclaimer: diy hrt is always less safe than monitored and the legality varies. Back in my day back in my country you wouldn't get in trouble. Develop your risk profile before checking to see if your course of actions fits within it. I'd hate to get someone v coded. Also I've never done diy, I got the letter of recommendation from a therapist a decade ago.
Half way done, might as well finish the job.
Why? Why not leave the combo deal?
Titties? Awesome.
Dicks? Also awesome.
There's nothing to finish, OOP is perfect as-is.
Absolutely valid point, take my upvote. 😊

C? In a year😭 no fair
It's the
I’m a boy with C cups.
that ruins the immersion. I can read the 5 sentences as satire, but right there is when the satire dies.
