Are you a doctor or a pharmacist? Because if not, I think giving medical advice to strangers on the internet it's pretty irresponsible.

Thank you for your 2 cents. When doctors do more than a 5 second Google search of trans care to come up with their absolutely garbage ideas for treatment I'll stop being so irresponsible.

And your solution is playing doctor and promoting self-medication?

8 times out of 10 my solution is "tell your doctor 'this'". I only recommend self medding in cases where people don't have access to medical treatment, and in those cases I want to make sure they're as safe as possible while doing so, helping them find clinics for blood tests, etc
