hello, I’m very exited, in about a week i got my appointment to get hrt. I doubt ill get it since at my age i need consent from both parents being in Australia and I’m only out to my mum.
Is there any tips on what i should say to maybe get hrt even though its doubtful ill be able to get it. If this does not work I’m going to do diy hrt probably.
Also if i dont get hrt and i probably wont I’m going to tell the doctor that this is not healthcare, its only restricting me from getting what i need. welp hopefully i get my estrogen.

Much like WPATH and other serious organizations blåhaj firmly supports HRT for minors. All current research suggests that for those that need it it is everything from good to life saving.
In many cases people cannot safely pursue HRT with the aid of a doctor, or the care that they receive does not follow proper guidelines. We often receive doses that are simply too low or even too high at times when it comes to certain blockers. Given that puberty is permanent and can cause trauma and harm, and given that HRT is life saving, we fully support DIY.
This is described in the rules in the sidebar.
Thank you for moderating. I’ll be able to sleep well tonight :)
Ok, I see I’m late to the party.

Ive done plenty of reading and research on DIY, I probably wont be able to do it anyway as I have nowhere to deliver the hrt to that wont get me caught. I’m going to do what I’m going to do, and on that note I think people should be trying to make diy safer, more about reducing the risks if we do end up doing it rather than just telling people no. Because like i said, I’m going to do what I’m going to do, and that does not just go with me.

Under 18 are on hormones all the time, it’s called puberty.
thats a very harmful take imo
…What am I reading in a freaking transfem online space?? Is this for real? Are you serious?
What the hell. Please think about your gate keeping and how massively harmful such gate keeping is.
I disagree. A minor could and should resort to DIY HRT if their doctor is not giving them a proper dosage, or not giving them E2 at all. This is provided that the minor has done their research, and ideally, is supported by a local trans group, etc. To put yourself in danger with E2, you’d have to screw really, really badly. Some ways of getting E2 into your body like gel, spray or pills are probably a better idea for a minor than the scarier injections which require a slightly higher level of knowledge. And it’s probably easier to get the dosage wrong with injections.
