This is a safe space for all those that need advice on HRT, trans or not!

We run a similar room on matrix, but decided that there should be a more public and accessible HRT community here on lemmy as well.

Good idea, maybe a general ressource post could be a good start?!

There’s a bunch in the sidebar, but I’ve considered putting them in a pinned post instead. I’ll look into it.

Didn’t check that as I view it in an app (Voyager)

I was pretty seriously considering to create this exact community, so I’m very happy someone did this. I guess it would be a good idea to advertise this on the other plattforms (/r/diyhrt and the diyhrt-discord) as a place that doesn’t depend as much on American corpos. I could do so, but maybe @will_steal_your_username@lemmy.blahaj.zone as the creator of the space would be a better choice?

I’m not on reddit much, and am not in the diy discord myself, so if you want to do that I would appreciate it very much!

Edit: Am posting about this place on reddit, but I would still appreciate it if you linked this place on discord <3

Edit: TransDIY seems to have removed my post (and the users there were quite paranoid), the estrogel sub was much more welcoming and their mod has linked this community in their sidebar.

Thanks! Maybe they don’t like that it’s still empty so far, which is kinda fair.

DIY HRT

!diyhrt@lemmy.blahaj.zone

Create post

Welcome!

This community exists for trans people and others to give each other advice and support regarding HRT.

Keep in mind that none of us are doctors. Read up on how to do things properly and double check any advice you are given.

Rules

  • Follow the instance rules.
  • Be accurate.
  • Don’t make others worry unnecessarily.
  • Sources are appreciated.

Quick Facts

  • Different routes (oral vs injections vs trans-dermal etc) have the same results. Pick whichever option you are most comfortable with.
  • If you’re doing feminizing hrt your boobs will randomly grow in bursts. Chest pain going away is perfectly normal.
  • It’s unreliable to estimate your hormone levels based on signs. Take blood tests if they are available to you.
  • Remember to eat well and exercise! This will help you grow properly and look more masculine on testosterone or more feminine on estradiol.
