Summary
Transgender Americans are stockpiling hormones and researching DIY solutions amid fears that President-elect Trump may restrict gender-affirming healthcare, as he pledged during his campaign.
Online communities are sharing resources, with some turning to nontraditional sources or synthesizing hormones despite risks like inconsistent dosages and legal consequences.
Advocacy groups are offering legal support for those self-managing care, while healthcare providers emphasize that access remains unchanged for now.
The World Health Organization has called for expanding self-care guidelines to include gender-affirming therapy, reflecting a growing global conversation on healthcare access disparities.
I’m on injections. What is your advice for stockpiling?
One bottle can last you multiple months, but you get prescribed a new bottle each month. Get your syringes online, it’s a lot cheaper (I use medical-and-lab-supplies dot com)
Erin in the Morning provides great info on stuff like this
Appreciate it. I’ll have to message my prescriber and see if I can get my refills up. Currently, I see her once every three months and only get two bottles.
Already stocked up on syringes etc. I may grab a few extra boxes before the tariffs hit.
