    Thanks for the clarification!

    If you have up-to-date medication, doing DIY HRT is actually very safe, you just need regular bloodwork. It's not particularly hard to dial in dosage and even if you overshoot a bit, it's no big deal with transdermal or IM medication.

    Is that in regards to gray market importing of HRT meds? Or like DIY from scratch?

    I wouldn't fault anyone for seeking HRT outside of legal bounds because that's a failing on society's part and not of the individual for doing what they need to. But that's my worst case scenario (which is, unfortunately, a very real scenario that people face today) and I wouldn't uphold this as the ideal arrangement by any means.

      That's referring to gray market imports. I hope it doesn't get to the point where people have to resort to injections made from scratch, that's just asking for trouble. But it may be the kind of trouble some parts of the world are headed towards.
