This could get super interesting with my country’s political situation. I could see two particular groups getting into med production:
- Pregnant women who need abortion medication
- Trans people who need hormones
With finasteride and puberty blockers/HRT being criminalized, a lot of people in the above categories are turning to black market / DIY solutions.

- aSanchezStern 2y agoI was talking to a French trans academic at a conference recently, and apparently there is a large community of trans people that make their own hormones from cheap precursors you can buy online. All secondhand obviously so I don't know the details but this is definitely a thing.
- DrillShopper 2y agoIt is absurdly easy as none of the precursors are controlled substances. Testosterone is a controlled substance but estrogen isn't.

- 4gotunameagain 2y agoAh yes, nothing screams of freedom more than brewing your moonshine hormones and diying an extremely serious medical procedure without a doctor and outside of the medical system. Gotta love the USA!

- theossuary 2y agoIt's crazy how DIY HRT and puberty blockers are now necessary to prevent trans kids from being mutilated by going through the wound puberty, then having to pay tens of thousands of dollars for reconstructive surgeries to fix maybe a fifth the damage.
- esqui 2y agoGoing through puberty isn't damage or mutilation, it's the process of development through which a child matures to an adult.
- spaceguillotine 2y agoYou are wrong and hiding behind a throw away account you made 9 hours ago because you know you are wrong
- esqui 2y agoI am not wrong, my comment is factually correct.
- IgorPartola 2y agoIf you, as you are, were forced to go through puberty of the opposite sex as a child, would you have been ok with that? You could get into the trolley paradox of action vs inaction doing harm but really this is the same thing: do you force a person to go through the wrong puberty. The correct puberty isn’t damaging, the wrong one is. As a cis man, I sure am happy nobody forced me to go through a female puberty.
- esqui 2y agoYou are asking a question of science fiction. It is impossible for anyone to undergo the puberty of the opposite sex because, obviously, they are not of that sex. As you are male, there is no method by which you could have gone through female puberty. So your hypothetical of this being forced upon you is nonsense.
