There is no way they aren't just straight up going to come for us.
Edit:For Cis comrades, spread the word and emphasize the seriousness of this to everyone you can. Making sure people actually know about this is the most important thing as the majority of people just dont know anything or pay attention.

i talked with local gang members about this legislation and they said they'd have my back if anything like that went down where i live, they already give free weed to cancer patients

they already do a thing where they ferry prescription meds from canada to sell cheaper on the black market than what pharma does, a lot of gangs do that
Organizing gangs has a lot of potential. The last guy who did it was onto something, because the feds shot him :fred-hampton:
stalin was a cowboy that robbed banks :stalin-cig:
was be seriously? That's based.
Yeah he was robbing banks to help fund the revolution https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1907_Tiflis_bank_robbery
spironolactone can also be prescribed for acne. and both testosterone and estrogen can be prescribed for various conditions.
so it's more of a rich/privileged person option, but hopefully people can also find doctors to prescribe these things the way people used to get weed when it was "medical only" and suddenly everyone had "glaucoma".

Is it possible to do this with t as well?
maybe not, but I think t is already readily available because of bodybuilding and stuff! so it's just a matter of doing your research and making sure you know dosing and side effects and safe suppliers.
I have a friend whose insurance company stopped approving his t out of nowhere and he’s now having trouble finding a doctor to “begin treatment again”. Guess it’s time to start doing some research
I know nothing about this, but found it with a Google search https://getplume.co/?GRSA&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIms6insim9wIVy56zCh3C5QhqEAAYASABEgJRM_D_BwE#pricing
could be worth looking into?
From what I've heard, Plume is decent, just kinda expensive
damn. I'm sorry to hear that. hopefully it will help that he already knew the name of the medicine and dose he was taking and stuff.
But yeah, it sucks how important it is to find the right doctor and get the right person at the insurance company looking at your file. For any kind of treatment. And, of course, it's another area where there is a huge disparity between rich and poor.
An anonymized compilation of people's transition plans would probably be pretty handy. Anyone aware of any projects out there like that?

yes but with the caveat that trying to distribute it will net you the attention of the DEA and FBI. it might work if distribution is limited to a vouched and trusted network and kept secret.
but yes, you can find raw testosterone enanthate on alibaba as easily as estradiol valerate.
also with testosterone, you have to use more preservatives in the formulation because you can't ensure sterilization by heating the packaged final product to 200C. and there's allergy risks with the most often used preservative - which is important to know when you're handing it to other people because they may have a negative reaction.
pressure cooker probably doesn't help here because it's hard to control temperature and the seal means that the pressure arguably doesn't help neutralize contaminants. luckily, I did research into this for the same reasons, and it turns out that estradiol can pretty safely taken up to 200C without damaging it, unlike testosterone. so at least for trans women, you can safely make hormones by getting a specialized oven for like $100 bucks that will keep the temperature at between 180C-200C for an hour. do make sure to do spore testing though - you need to intentionally contaminate a sample with resistant spores, put it through your process, and have a lab verify that they couldn't get the spores to grow.
I have notes on all this somewhere I've been meaning to post... let me dig them out and start a thread.

oh got it. people sometimes use a pressure cooker as a makeshift autoclave and I just meant that it won't work like that. I haven't actually tested this yet to see if the pressure build up in an oven causes problems.
ok got my notes shared here: https://hexbear.net/post/189132
