Say someone wanted to fill their bunker with HRT in case all trans healthcare in the US was blocked at some point, what would be the best way, and best resources for figuring out how to do that? These would be emergency backup, so wouldn't need to be a perfect regimen with injectables and progesterone.

From what I've read so far, for estradiol you'd want to store precursors, because those can store indefinitely, unlike vials or even pills. But I don't really know where those come from, or how you go from precursor to something that can be ingested. I would appreciate any resources that could fill that in for me.

I haven't really looked into t-blockers or t at all yet, because that wasn't as relevant to me. But if anyone's picked up any info on that, I'd love to know how it that would be done too, from a community support perspective.

I know our UK siblings are broadly dealing with this already, so I'd appreciate any input you have.

Sorry if there's already a megathread around for this somewhere already. I missed it.

(I'm not really sure what the boundaries of what can be discussed here. But for that reason, I'll just mention that this is research for cozy post-apocalyptic videogame about a trans woman with no access to healthcare because her warlord is pretty shit. It's hyper-indie and not even on itch, and the art is all in pastels, and has the best fishing minigame you'll never play. I definitely want REAL WORLD practical resources though for my research. Realism is key to the ludonarrative experience I want to deliver.)

    Don't forget the gels, they are applied to the skin, easier than measuring out an appropriate amount of powder.
