Chemical proof!

Seriously, are DIYing hormones a normal thing now? That's what this sounds like, and it doesn't seem they're getting any pushback. This is a mental and physical-health trainwreck.

Yes. DIY hormones is a thing. Many genderfluid/NB people are into microdosing hormones to androgynize themselves.

It's body modding. Punks, goths, alternative people generally have been doing body mods for years. Trans is basically just the new alternative style. It's not like teens can rebel or express themselves by being goth or punk, their parents were probably goth or punk. Their parents probably have some tats or piercings left over from the 80s. No, to really act out, have to step it up.

Huh, doesn't this have adverse health consequences though? I know that not having any hormones in your body (being on blockers) can mess your body up, but wouldn't being in micro-doses have a similar affect? I thought that the body needed enough of one hormone or the other in order to function.
