Once there was someone on the drugs subreddit asking if anyone else takes estrogen as a recreational drug because it makes you feel so good. Don’t worry, she eventually figured it out.
Edit: found it

Most trans folk struggle to even get baseline medical care, and then this mf just casually uses E for recreation…
Don’t get me wrong, I’m happy for her to have figured things out, but how tf does one start taking estrogen recreationally? It’s not like you can just grab a month’s supply from a dealer.
“Grab a months suply from a dealer” exceot yolu can. My coubtrybof origin sold them OTC and later un life a friend of mine who has experience with drug dealers told me many of them sell transition drugs too. And lastly orsering DİY hrt online eith bitcoin is not unlike the process of ordering drugs
Probably the same way they would get other non prescription/illegal drugs :3
The thing is, there is recreational demand for illicit drugs.
Estrogen on the other hand has no recreational use, which is why it’s unlikely for any dealer to even know how to source it.
Maybe not the dealers you know about
but how tf does one start taking estrogen recreationally?
possibly their roommate takes it and offered it to her to try it out
There are ways. Here’s a link that does not offer practical info but won’t get you flagged by your ISP or DNS provider for being on a domain like “diyhrt.uwu”:

I get that, my main struggle is understanding how one would consider going through all this research for recreational use…
She probably didn’t. Just ordered it with some other stuff from a grey market pharmacist, if I had to guess
I only ever sold it in full vials
At least where I’m at, its pretty easy to get a prescription. I just scheduled a virtual appointment for the next morning and then had a prescription sent to my pharmacy. Probably paid like $0-30 between the appointment and prescription? I was still questioning if I wanted HRT at the time; it was only after trying it that I knew it was something I wanted. Informed consent is great.
dunno, doesnt have much of a taste- at the amount where u would taste it u would get crazy nousious … like - sickish kinda feel like crazy-
anyway, E yay iguess… booba hurtin already, cant eep on tummy anymore- and… the thingithings on booba are always active which feels weird-…,., might wanna get bra sooner rather than later…,.
:{ no more tummy sleep. Altho it might come back, my physician, she is a tummy sleeper when she is not pregunta and she finished that 20 years ago.
Hi Maria!
Welcome to boobies. Auto Seatbelts are also the enemy. And you will notice every time you accidently bump them. But they are super awesome.
I am glad your journey is progressing! Keep it up!
oh yesyes its gonna be weird.,.,. but also exciting- things are progressing, im movin forward, thats nice. i dont… post much interesting stuff as much on lemmy anymore tho—
thank u <3
I’m so happy that you’re finally in the tiddy club! I second the seatbelt thing and recommend wearing a bra on longer car rides. If they get big enough, you start to feel their weight no matter which way you lie down. It’s not so bad though. The soreness is transitory.
Also, I miss your interesting stuff on Lemmy. I’m always happy to see you when you do show up!
Hi Maria!
Welcome to boobies. […]
This part felt so formal, I thought it was a bot, so I giggled.
And then I read the rest and saw that it’s just a heartfelt comment.🩵🤣

What if that is me?

Then…

Then…

You take estrogen because it tastes good, I take estrogen due to a mutated CYP19A1 gene.
That sucks. that gene doesn’t even get a fun name like the MoTHerFuckeR gene (which methylates folate if you have working copies, or not if you don’t, and yes the capitalization is important we’re spelling genes)
isn’t eating estrogen injection like really bad for you?
If someone is talking about eating estrogen they’re probably talking about pills, not injections.
that checks out, forgor pills for a moment
Now I’m sad its not cakes
It does taste good tho
A bit chalky for my taste, but acceptable.
Taking my meds via injections, but occasionally supplementing with pills as a treat 😌
