I’m legitimately scared. Scared like a bug under a shoe, because that’s what we are. Squashed. Multiple major DIY providers are shutting down. The options for DIY are becoming slim to none. The transphobic ruling class has discovered DIY, and, just as so many people predicted, they’ve started pressuring DIY providers to shut down while threatening access to conventional transition methods. Even though most people weren’t DIYpilled before, it was always an option for those in the know, to go underground. I don’t know if that’s a guaranteed thing we can have anymore. We might legitimately enter a tranny dark age, where HRT becomes almost impossible to access through mainstream means and there aren’t easy options to get it through the grey market.

This is our Institut für Sexualwissenschaft, and it’s burning down in front of our eyes.

      I’ve heard that a lot of providers are going dark because of pressure from right-wing governments. Yeah, sure, those suspensions may be temporary this year, but I feel it’ll just get worse and worse. Also, is AstroVials back up yet?

              I mean I don’t think the government is gonna be shutting down DIY HRT sites directly, instead their propagandists will push target them making it unsafe for them to continue admidst the threats (like the stoachastic terrorism from Libs of TiKTok, which forced the doctors of the largest Youth GAC clinic in my state to go into hiding admidts bomb threats [before it was eventually shut down by the Trump admin]), and that seems to be what’s happening

                  Well I’m just using that as an example. Not all people, even anonymous ones, are brave enough to face the possibility of the right wing media machine hammer coming down on them

      if thats the cases, it means the grey market is so fragile its collapsing before major pressure is even applied

    I am scared too and feel like you’re right to some degree but I want to believe it’s mostly economic and logistical reasons why stuff is not good rn.
