like.. even most irl leftists don't seem to support us, especially outside of america. my dad's a borderline fascist, my mom's an alcoholic, my friends will most likely stop talking to me out of shame, dating is fucking impossible when trans.

/r/transDIY can help you get started without the healthcare system, and can be a shortcut to getting legit HRT. Lots of doctors will just prescribe you HRT if they find out you're already taking it on your own anyway because they want you to be safe. I personally recommend getting on injecions rather than pills. They've given me great results over the past 2 years.
It can be much, much harder to get them outside the USA. In Europe and the Commonwealth off-label prescriptions are less of a thing.
This is very much a "grey market" thing. It's not 100% legal but you're very unlikely to get in trouble for it unless you're ordering testosterone to transition from FtM. I have friends in Europe who have successfully ordered bootleg HRT using the information on that subreddit so I know it's possible and pretty easy.
