Some of the comments are real gems.

People are being weird af in the comments, this is good shit, this is what we’ve been doing for each other for decades. Underground HRT gifted between trans people is queer history, love, and community. Kill the cop in your brain, OP is an adult and make their own decisions, and it sounds like the dude was pretty responsible about sterilization and checking about medical history first. Congratulations OP, I hope you can get your own testosterone and start with a gender therapist to help you along.

Sharing needles at parties is queer history yo let's celebrate! 🥳

First time I got a dose of T I was elated, but this story just… ugh. So fucked up. This is exactly what transphobes think we do.

Lol

So like, I think people do this, because I can find countless examples of people saying they do this. Hell you don't even need to go far in this comment section to see tons of people saying they've done the same. Is it transphobic to be put off with people self medicating with hormones and playing around with giving them to others at parties with no doctor involved? Shit like this puts me off, but if that's transphobic then maybe being in the transphobic camp is better than being in the let's share needles camp? Same reason why it's not homophobic to criticize gay orgies spreading aids. It's not the homosexual part of gay orgies I have an issue with, it's the orgy part.

Or this lovely exchange.

Wtf this is absolutely not okay. I’m trans myself but I do not think giving people hormones under the table before they have gone through the mental journey to get there themselves is okay especially when hrt has permanent effects, ESPECIALLY testosterone. A lot of feminizing effects of E are reversible but the same cannot be said for T. Please stop talking to this person, and do your own inner thinking about what you want versus what you’re being peer pressured into. This sounds like the start of how many detransitioners began.

I'm sorry but you're being very patronizing. Did you miss the part where OP talked about questioning their gender for years? Fuck gatekeeping.

Hey Doc can I get some morphine please.

Why do you need morphine? It's really strong. I'll only prescribe it if you are in extreme pain.

Fuck you gatekeeping bastard!

Here is another one.

Hardly more unethical than the legal system we have to jump through hoops for.

If it wasn't for loopholes and lying, I'd still be waiting for HRT, and I'd have another 3 years to wait

If you need clearer evidence about how people subvert all the safeguards in place and use the internet to learn exactly how to get past them.

Oh god, if morphine ever became available without a prescription I would be fucked. That shit is so more-ish. Fuck the gatekeepers!

Fucking gatekeeping doctors denying my sleeping pill prescription just because I want something extra with my bottle of whiskey. Who are they to say mixing sleeping pills with alcohol is bad. Patronizing moralistic gatekeeping fucks. Don't those fucking doctors realize their job is to give me exactly what I want! I don't want to be questioned about my life choices or criticized for my health. Fucking miserable.

I've not shared this with anyone because of how much it devastated my psyche and made me cry for 17 hours, but just last week I went to an abortion clinic and they wouldn't give me an abortion and were very rude to me just because I was a man and didn't have a womb. It was super uncomfortable and I'm just in shock that such rampant gatekeeping is allowed in current year. I can't even.
