I don't "assert dominance" but have been known to assume mating postures to trigger courtship. Also totally uninterested in road kill -- if it can't lay eggs, don't want it.

On the topic of diy hrt, & who’s often left out of the conversation
Hi hi. This pride month, can there be actual convos about how fucked it is that people interested in testosterone replacement therapy, & other androgens, can’t obtain it without a prescription unless they wanna go to jail for a minimum of 4 years?
I know it’s bleak & grim. But it’s very important to discuss, imo, if we want actual trans rights. T should be descheduled. We should be saying this loudly, even if you personally don’t want it or have nothing to do with it. & this should be kept in mind when saying “just do diy hrt.” To be able to do such without majorly risking your entire livelihood is a privilege. A major one. Please try to think abt those who can’t risk it.
& in the meantime, TALK ABOUT IT!!! Inform people that T is a controlled substance, bc a shocking amount of folks don’t know this. Make a slogan, openly voice that ur in favor of people having bodily autonomy including when it comes to using anabolic steroids, tell someone you know who’s on a 5 year long waitlist with an endocrinologist just to avoid a prison sentence that u love them & wish the world was better to them.
( anyone arguing abt how risky other forms of hrt are to diy please fuck off. I’m well aware of this, & you’re not the center of this conversation. transmasc & intersex people get talked over & ignored entirely in far too many conversations for me to let my replies be another one of those instances. )
( fuck it, tags for visibility, this is an issue I care deeply abt. #diyhrt #hrt #trans #transmasc )
