Comment on Anon is straight

Is self-identified cis people getting HRT a thing? I’m genuinely curious, I assume it’s all DIY, right? In any case, that was a wild ride
Gee I wonder how some of the greedier/scummier telehealth hrt providers (not naming any names but it’s all on Google) would react if someone straight up said “I’m cis but want to be more attractive to gay/bi dudes gimme the pills”. I’d give 70/30 they’d eventually agree.
p.s. personally I think hrt should be maximally cheap and sold over the counter. One of the few things I like about russia
That’s something informed consent should permit. “Here are the effects, do you want them?”
I know a straight cis femboy who wants to take HRT - I dont fully understand it, but I respect its his right to do what he wants with his body and identify however he pleases.
Some people just want more customization options I guess
They never said cis, did they? Could be a transman.

Yeah a cis dude might get testosterone if his normal testosterone is low. I assume there’s something similar for women. I don’t think that’s what this guy is talking about though.

It’s fairly common for women to start taking estrogen post menopause because their estrogen levels drop, and that can cause issues like losing bone density. I believe HRT was originally developed specifically for that reason, and it was only later that they tried using it to treat gender dysphoria.
But in this case, they specifically call out being a femboy on HRT, which I think pretty clearly says that they’re on estrogen for that female figure. Whether it’s DIY or just informed consent is anyone’s guess, though.

That’s one possibility I thought off, but there’s another one: He says he’s straight, but doesn’t mention being via, so he could be a trans man taking testosterone (HRT isn’t necessarily estrogens).

she is just an egg for now, in denial.
That’s not rare,
