what happens when one of the homebrewers fucks up and makes a batch that is infected with bacteria or mold, something even industrial labs do on rare occasion,

beyond the 100s of troons that would be harmed by this it would be an extraordinary opportunity to crack the fuck down on diy,

could even see a glowie do it

    You just gave a CIA lurker an idea. It’ll happen within next six months.

      I wouldn’t put it past cis people to performatively pearl clutch about mentally ill people dying after taking diy hormones

          Anti-trans rhetoric comes in different flavors and the talking points can change over time, even surprisingly quickly. Cis people can often fit multiple seemingly contradictory ideas at once. They can talk about how dangerous trans women are and gloat about the suicide rates, and the next second talk about how they don’t hate trans people but just think that ‘transgenderism’ is a tragic mental illness. If a story comes out about a trans woman in their teens dying after taking hormones they ordered online, they could fall back to the groomer narrative for example. “These kids should be getting mental health support instead of bathtub hormones from creeps online”, which then leads to them cracking down on diy and doing nothing about mental health support (which is a good thing because they would probably just give the money to conversion camps).

      You need reason for this kind of stuff. Cracking down something people don’t give a shit about will most likely give you bad publicity “oh, they can destroy estrogen distribution but not fent?”, and fed doing this won’t justify his wage in the eyes of those above him - first you make people hate the thing and want it to be taken down, then your fight against it is glorious.

          People’s opinion doesn’t matter that much. Only politicians matter in the end, and they wouldn’t be impressed by feds wasting their resources on cracking down something unregulated.

              No? They don’t give a fuck. Probably even Trump himself doesn’t give a fuck. They all pretend to care about stuff just to placate their voters.

                  For most of the things outside of the realm of economics and foreign affairs it’s simple - people or lobbyists want the thing, so politicians pretend to care about the thing to get the votes. Politicians who really care about ideas are few and far in-between.

                  If entire society liked LGBT then very few politicians would care or dare to go against it. Social struggles are just fuel for getting more votes. Historically most politicians personally cared only about things that harmed their wallets and structures that kept them in power.

            I see, it sounded like some people thought they’d actually need to wait for a real incident to happen

      its not illegal, it would actually require political capital to get estrogen banned.

      with something like this it would be easier to make the augment they r saving lives instead of just fucking with trannies, besides politics is all about opportunism

    if they wanted to crack down on diy they would not need any excuses to do so. there is unlimited appetite for tormenting trans people around the globe. they don’t need a justification.

    if i remember correctly wasn’t there an eu based seller that didnt use preservatives and didnt have any lab testing? if the government wants to kill trannies, they’ll just do it.
