"A large part of the trans community in the U.S. is being forced to choose between our life-affirming transitions and our Palestinian siblings’ demand for freedom."

I just found out that if you’re taking the iconic blue b estrogen pill you’re taking pills manufactured by an Israeli company in occupied Palestine. Obviously I require HRT, these supple cheeks require a healthy dose, but does anyone know if there’s a way to get hormones without violating BDS?

    I’ve been looking into DIY in case hormones become difficult to acquire where I live. Looks like you can buy estradiol powder from china but you have pretty much have to buy in bulk. I use patches though I don’t know if they violate BDS, I should probably check.

      I doubt that Israel is the only place making estradiole, it’s not that hard to synthesize from phytoestrogens and there’s no patent on the procedure anymore afaik.
