It might also be good to mirror some resources from /r/estrogel about how to mix your own medication and include the places where you can buy the raws. (AFAIK dragonordnance is generally trusted?)
Since I’ve finally gotten to the point where I’m now officially on HRT and have DIY’ed but not mixed myself before, I’m sadly not the best source on all that, but it is kinda important to be aware of the possibility as this will be by far the hardest option to take away from us.
I should add dragonordnance is apparently very sketch. They reportedly selectively scam people and are very transphobic. PPL is better but has a slightly sketch reputation as well, but I’ve personally had success with them. Sorry for the year late reply but since your comment is prominent on the resource post I just wanted to comment on it :P
Completely fair, I never saw the issues with necroing, especially on stickied posts. 😄
Maybe! I’ve already downloaded a copy of the estrogel and transdiy wikis just in case something there happens (estrogel being featured in the news is what prompted me making this place). I’ll look into mirroring some sources.
