Hormones * 1
    #26804640 - 07/05/20 05:47 AM (3 years, 6 months ago)

how do you feel about hormone treatments more generally?

is this something that should be limited entirely to individuals prescribed by a doctor
or should the potential for imbalances be allowed to be decided upon by patients?

this has come up in the trans community a lot
in places where trans people cannot get authorizations from doctors
they will start taking grey market Estrogen or Testosterone without confirmation of appropriateness for their physical condition

this also shows up among body builders who frequently chug steroids often against medical advice because it jacks them up

is this something that should be controlled and authorized by doctors only
or should all adults be free to select whatever hormones they feel are appropriate to them
and to consider their use to be as valid as that provided by doctors

this has actually been an extra issue for me since my pre-teens
where eating a bunch of McDonalds seemingly, according to the doctor, was giving me growth spurt after growth spurt
due to the beef being injected with hormones

personally think adherance should be limited to people with doctors prescriptions
in the trans community this earns me the transphobic name of transmedicalist or TRUSCUM (trans that does not support all trans)

but have seen a lot of issues where people abuse testosterone without authorization
and have their personality all fucked up with a bunch of anger issues
when this happens to trans men that self-dose, the community recognizes it as being too drawn in by toxic masculinity

I agree with your point of view, and think it's ridiculous that you could be labelled as anti-trans for it.

Being against the unregulated use of hormones as a means to transition is completely different from being against transitioning.

For example, I think trans people have the right to surgery, should they choose too take that path. I don't however, think it should be performed by an unlicensed surgeon because that person has no other means of achieving the goal.

am inclined to agree, and fully agreed before going in for my HRT assessment
but on my first appointment, ended up getting delayed in starting
to make sure my body was not at risk of developing a tumour on my brain by taking the meds

so have become more leary about trans women starting HRT programs without authorization
not a disbelief that they should have the right to make that choice
but a concern that without medical assessment they could seriously harm themselves

do not believe this issue to actually exist with use of psychedelics
it is best if a new tripper can have a reliable sitter who respects set and setting
but there is not real medical risk involved with the use

suppose part of my view is also informed by the processes being funded by public health care in Canada
if someone misjudged and has to go off hormones and in for MRIs and surgeries
that is a pretty increased load on the medical system, that also impacts the rate of availability of MRI and surgeries for other conditions

I think that the unlicensed surgeon comparison is a real valuable one that had not crossed my mind previously
thank you so much for bringing that up :heart:

do not really mind that there is a section of the trans community that reacts so vehemently against my positions
as also recognize my own positions to be pro-trans in terms of youth care
do not support HRT or surgery for youths except in extreme cases where medical assessment indicates them as necessary
but also think that society needs to sort of de-gender a lot of things so that youths are not feeling pressured to take hormones to have their body in line with their interests to begin with
and think that this would also reduce the risk of individuals who end up seeking to detransition if they find it was not the course of action for them

My only real concern is responsibility for choosing to use hormones whether prescribed or not. Can't really be responsible though if you trying to change biology so drastically. Just my 2 cents.

But it's not my body so I don't care really. I wouldn't do it to my body tho. I'd find another way to stimulate hormone production naturally though if someone wanted to try them.

I' agree for most healthy people, but there is always the risk with people who have a latent psychosis or are otherwise on the border of mental ilness, line people with a lot of repressed trauma or similar, that a breakthrough of topics happens unannounced and unintendedly. If the person interpets this as negative sideffects and isnt willing to work through it (rejects the experience, doesnt go with it) they can well get stuck in the terrain of the activated trauma, persisting even after the trip. This is straight from Stanislv Grof reports of his work with LSD therapy in the 60s.

So in short, the risk is low but there is acpuple of percent of risk, I do think.

Think this is a reasonable and responsible account that my input did not apply to, thank you for calling attention to it

in a way, there is typically a sort of medicalisation around such individuals tho
it is not made available as common knowledge
but, for instance, if someone is in the Shroomery community and has schizophrenia other members will advise against continued psychedelic use

that sort of mentality is not really "there yet" in the trans community
which, likely, plays into people labeling me as anti-trans for wanting to call attention to it
since the sentiment is typically not spoken to individuals who say they are on grey market hormones

in that way, the Psychedelic Community is arguably more advanced in terms of community safety

an hour and a half of Joe Rogan and his friends blathering about opinions that confirm his biases about the world

could you at least provide quotations of the positions you found so interesting
or something from the JRE clips channel that makes it more watchable?

the idea of testosterone treatment being a sham is of particular interest tho
but that was not your position and does not seem to be quoted from within this thread so am unable to pursue for further information at this time

my endocrinologist does no prescribe opiods, but am in Canada
my family doctor tried getting me on them, but shot him down and told him to refer me to a cannabis doctor before resorting to that

Right, can't be bothered to watch anything longer than a few minutes worth of info.

It's a great story, Joe doesn't open his meat vacuum much but to ask some questions.

Talks about TBI and how soldiers are developing brain injuries from blast shockwaves.

:shrug:

Oh well. There's stories about horses too.

Im all for it for sure, the underground market and the doctor-prescribed market. I mean, why not?

The only kind conversial issue for me is sports. Like the episode of South Park where Randy Savage becomes a "woman" but is obviously a macho-male then competes in women sports as a woman. Totally unfair in my opinion since he is a super-macho male and has the obvious physical advantage for weightlifting and other strenght sports.

But other than the sports competition aspect, i have no issue with grey/black/regular market hormones. Dose away! :thumbup:

Here in Holland, anabolic steroids and other androgens, as well as estrogens and the like fall under the "Medicines Law" which is distinct from the narcotics law.

Its allowed for adults in Holland to order hormones and use them, as long as it doesn't interfere with competition sports.

If you are a DIY bodybuilder doing it for you you can roid up till you have pimples on your bald head and thats considered fine, though your doctor might disagree.

You can take charge of your sex change.

Sex hormones are considered "lifestyle choices", regardless which gender you wish to augment.

Not many Dutch know this but just like with poppers, there are Dutch online stores that sell hormones legally, domestically, including non-pharmacopeia drugs like dianabol and SARMS.

You can't buy DMAA (glorified caffeine) but you CAN buy Sustanon. Strange folks, those Dutchies.


I'm 100% against minors using any sex hormones without prescription and close supervision. Minors get lasting developmental changes from androgens or estrogens that sometimes seem counterintuitive.

anyone who wants them should be able to get them as long as they are aware of the health consequences of doing so, whether it be straight men wanting to take testosterone to get more manly or people born with balls who wish they hand't been

people who want them and can't get them from the doctor will find a way to get them elsewhere, and whoever sells it to them is far less likely to give them education about how to go about it in a way that will reduce potential harm

This is a variation of the question of what to do about drugs more generally.

I think people shouldn't be prevented from getting what they want, but they should have to take training in it and get some kind of license (to prove that they went through the training), and after that they should only be allowed to get so much at a time. Their use might be monitored by their doctor, but their doctor shouldn't have the ability to say no, only to monitor their use and make suggestions and stuff like that.

The amount available to purchase at a time might be based on weight in much the same way that scientifically the dose of a drug is based on a person's weight. In this way, for something like steroids or estrogen you could appropriately dose the person without going overboard. There might even be some kind of application for an exception to the dosage rule, or maybe if you go through a doctor and get a prescription then you could get an exception, etc.

In teenagers, it should probably require a prescription just because the body is still developing and lots of stuff that's safe as an adult is dangerous to a developing child.

It's literally at no higher of an average % than if your not on hormones. Its all about ROA and how well you take care of your body, just like normal. Breathing gives you fucking cancer.

I weigh 375 lbs.

I'm a mule pulling a very heavy cart.

Very small, infrequent doses of anabolic steroids help me on my days of most strenuous exercise and if I get an injury, pain and healing time gets cut in half.

It strengthens my muscles, ligaments, tendons, bones, connective tissues, augments regeneration of cartilage and to some degree improves my lean mass to fat ratio.

I am able to exercise harder, be less injury prone and if injured, recover quicker and better.

I'd be a fool not to take an occasional 5mg of Metandienone in my situation.

What a bodybuilder takes in one day would last me a month.



In parts of asia, where they are freely available, steroids are used by construction workers and other males who bear heavy burdens.

Its rational. It enables bodies to give it more, for people who need to give it more.

For this reason also doctors prescribe them to severe burn victims and people who have seriously weakened because of AIDS, cancer or other wasting diseases.

Hooray! For males there is a class of drugs that, if rightly used, improves their bodies.
Why not use it on a far wider scale than now?

If you're an adult guy, and you sprained your ankle badly, why not a week of low dose anabolic steroid? The pain decreases and healing increases. Why prescribe ibuprofen that just lessens pain and helps swelling some?

I'd really like to use steroids from rolling ankle so many times. It's getting pretty loose.

" they are freely available, steroids are used by construction workers and other males who bear heavy burdens."

You're talking to an example of said people now :smile:
I do get side effects that have to be managed and get blood tests regularly to make sure nothing is getting out of wack. I recently had to take a break because my blood pressure was shooting up.

High estrogen levels do substantially increase your risk of prostate cancer. If you believe estrogen is keeping you from killing yourself then obviously that's the lessor of 2 evils. The studies I've seen don't seem to indicate a change in the astronomically high suicide rates in trans people on HRT vs those not on HRT. On the other hand, one of the reasons I started HRT was low estrogen(for a man) because I felt like shit and was borderline suicidal. Having normal male estrogen levels made huge difference for me. So I'm willing to accept the possibility that if trans women actually do have a female brain (though I'm not sold on that yet) taking estrogen makes them feel better. You do you ma'am.

I was on TRT for a few years. In the end it was more of a hassle than it was worth for me. I dropped the Dr after a while due to the endless tests, and constantly getting shuffled from one Dr. to another.

If I could have bought pharmaceutical testosterone without having to get it shipped in sketchy packages from China, I would have kept using it. I only saw benefits. They use too much preservative in what I was buying though, and I was worried about developing scar tissue in my thigh, so I cycled off relatively easily with (iirc) a month or so of Clomid and nolvadex.

I don't know. Hormones are powerful things and can do all sorts of fucked up shit(ooorrr, make you feel normal when all is right.). It's worth mentioning now that I have zero experience with hormones/steroids/etc.(edit; oh i guess i am on hormonal birth control, disregard lol. i'm one of the lucky ones that doesn't seem to have a tough time, it can fuck shit up for certain people for sure)

On one hand I'd like to just see easier medical access for trans people, but I get that it's a bit of a pipe dream for any significant minority in the current climate, and it's a work in progress. Which doesn't help people who are suffering now - and it doesn't address people who are using them for performance enhancement/fitness.


Ultimately my concern comes down to consumer safety and harm reduction. People are gonna get their hands on this stuff one way or another, especially for someone who needs it to feel and function normally, regardless. I certainly don't feel it should be criminalized, and like Blind Ass mentioned upthread, harm reduction and education, and appropriate caution is key. I certainly don't think it should be criminalized. But some consumer minded safety measures need to be put in place - stuff that doesn't just push it all to the black market and make it even more unsafe to begin with, which is a tricky dance.


I'd like to see some more medical professions focused on harm reduction emerging tbh. I think they're sorely needed. Not doctors, but qualified, nonjudgemental, medical professionals who've been through the appropriate training who act as a resource for people with questions. Even just as a sector of the emerging telehealth field(which I know here in the states, has become the defacto system now for everyone who doesn't absolutely need in-patient services).

I'm curious about the mood effects of estrogen.  I am well aware of those of androgens, but curious about those of the flip side.

Will addition of estrogen turn a cis-male into a sweetie or a bitch?

I was curious enough to order some :rainbowcloud:

Sex changes come over time, gradually, but steroidal mood effects are mostly near immediate.

A single dose wont induce breast formation :eek:

You know you're a druggie when.. you order some estrogen to get in touch with your feminine side :lol:

It'll probably turn me into a complete bitch :grin:

Here's :2cents: if you are in a place that makes it illegal, or places ridiculous obstacles to obtain legal hormones, people will go to the black market.  Problem with that, is due to the nature of how a single hormone (especially upstream hormones like testosterone and estrogen) effect the body, pretty regular blood work is required to monitor the down stream effects.

TL;DR If people can't get legally they'll get illegally. Hormones have large effects, careful blood concentration monitoring is warranted, getting it legit is best.

Not a personal attack, I've seen you mention that you are on the heavier side of things, which means your estrogen levels are probably out of range for male (high side) as fat increases estrogen production.  (sorry if I made incorrect assumptions in this)

As I am one of The Others, A Freak Among Freaks, or as a trans woman,
I say let people "fuck them selves up"
with hormones
This issue is purely a heartstring issue
people are actually okay with a certain % of "necessary harm"
cars, surgery deaths, this kind of argument
appeals to the people scared of flying when yes
HUNDREDS DIE from planecrashes!!! (are hundreds per year perma fucked from HRT?)
is this even an issue?
Not really, IMO. Let the small percentage of fuckers fuck up
This kind of issue results in unnecessary regulation
by people who have no clout in this walk of life
Why do we care so much about a small percentage of "mistakes" in one issue
but not others? THOSE PESKY EMOTIONS:
To the people that made mistakes with hormones: Sorry, but thats life.
Same to the people who wanted to get on a plane.
But like planes, a lot of this shit is reasoned out to be generally safe
for a large %.
sometimes the cure to a mistake is to TOUGHEN UP BUTTERCUP
and dont ruin the fun for everyone else.

No thats true and probably a factor in why I'm so damn nice :grin: but I'd like to experience the effect of a sudden estrogen spike, just as I know the effect of a sudden testosterone spike.

Fat cells aromatize testosterone to estrogen, thats true!

Endocrinology is one of the most complex and least understood medical science there is next to neurology.

There's 50 hormones in the human body. Not 2 or 3. And they effect one another. For example estrogen and testosterone can stimulate cortisol production.


Nutrition and even your thoughts effect hormones as well.


Add on top of that the long neglect of science in as far as women's reproductive medicine and the newness of significant popultions of people on HRT and... there's alot of risk and alot of it can't even be named.



IME there's also alot of ignorance in your average doctor. My doctors couldn't understand why hormonal birth control made me batshit insane.


And there's also the interest fact that most women are admitted to mental hospitals after a breakdown when they are in the PMS phase of the hormonal cycle (yeah guys it's not actually made up.)

Are those cycles necessary for the health of an individual? Or are they counterproductive? Are we hurting people by trying to blunt them or not taking them into account when they're on HRT.


We don't know. There's so much we don't know.



PS high estrogen made me a psychotic bitch so don't think we can make meatheads chill out with that alone.

And Cause and effect between hormones and the body isn’t all linear & clean or clear in many regards- the effects branch and loop back on other causes leading to more effects and things of that nature over and over, etc etc.  Chemistry is wild, nature’s magic.

Something akin to hysteresis going on with all that...

*the phenomenon in which the value of a physical property lags behind changes in the effect causing it, as for instance when magnetic induction lags behind the magnetizing force.

And then some...

Yep. Not saying it's bad, just that people should be aware that they're guinea pigs.

And no one can ever say for sure how a particular drug is going to interact with their own unique body chemistry. That goes for well studied drugs too.

However, there is a concern over chronic use of finasteride and development of prostate cancer. Through its effect on hormonal (estrogens vs. androgens) balance and immune surveillance of tumor cells, finasteride increases the risk of prostate cancer. In many studies it has been shown that the prostatic hyperplasia and cancer develop frequently in the hormonal milieu of estrogen excess over androgens. This hormonal imbalance is normally seen in aging males. Finasteride increases the circulating levels of testosterone which is peripherally aromatized to estrogens. Thus the use of finasteride in older males further shifts the hormonal balance towards estrogen excess. The expression of aromatase is also up-regulated in prostatic hyperplasia and cancer."

In America they offer SEVERAL grand per testicle if you are willing to donate. Anything in this country costs easily too much medically though so I'd blow through it so fast on my mandatory government test replacement that it wouldn't be worth it

I kinda wish I was in Holland then because I am just recently getting back into "enhanced" weightlifting and ordering SARMs is so much more trouble than it used to be. I can find some good sources but all the good ones have bank merchants that are in Africa so idk, kinda weary about that I guess. And I don't want to take steroids again, expensive and worrying about shutdown isnt worth it to me anymore.

I was just seeing if anyone has mentioned anything about them here because I just decided to just take the risk and ordered some RAD 140 and Ostarine. Didn't expect to really see anything about SARMs here.

But to the point, yes I think people should be able to treat themselves with hormones. But it would be much smarter to have a doctor monitor it since it's not as simple as just "take estrogen, turn into woman" there's so many side effects that come with unsupervised high dosing or prolonged use of hormones.

Side story, I knew this really attractive girl some years back that was into weightlifting, but she wasn't bulky, just had that nice built physique for a woman but it ended up not being enough for her so she got into steroids, the heavy ones too not just basic testosterone, and she got to the point where you could see her clit sort of popping through her underwear if it was tight enough. It was so awkward because we had a thing going on but after I saw her again over a year later I just had to run from that :lol:

Get your blood hormone levels checked. I couldn't take it. Crashed my DHT levels and destroyed my sex drive. Also made my skin dry and gave me sensitive nipples(raised estrogen levels). Not worth it. Luckily everything leveled out after quitting and taking some HCG to "reset" my hormones. Something like 2-5% of people get permanant endocrine system damage from finasteride. Do an internet search on "post finasteride syndrome"

You misread, estrogen is what my fat cells make of testosterone due to their inherent aromatase production.

I take it for hair loss, some rare people get regrowth, but its just held my hair stable, technically it only slows loss, before I started taking it there was a crazy amount of hair on the floor of the shower after I took one, now theres none, if you get a hair transplant the doctors make you sign a form promising you will take finasteride, other wise youll just be back as the hairs still fall out behind the transplanted hairs, the dermatologist wanted me to commit to taking rogain too, but Im afraid to because its a life long commitment to using it twice a day

Do you realize that dihydrotestosterone is like 10x as strong an androgen as testosterone, so that defacto you sort of castrated yourself?

Lack of androgens in males leads to weight gain, water retention, loss of muscle and bone mass, weakening of tissue regeneration and a slip n slide into the pigsty of beta cuckery? :lol:

Seriously, having lower androgens makes you less secure and decisive as a male and less ablebodied.

When a doctor put my old father on spironolactone I asked the doctor politely to consider switching him to epleneron, a new drug with the sam, a tad stronger, indicated action, but without the testosterone blocking effects.

MtF transgenders use spironolactone, thats no drug to give to an obese 75yo whos trying to live an active lifestyle. He looked into it and with my fathers consent switched the meds, my dad was super proud of his son to have outdone a specialist on the fly, and, getting him a med that he feels much better on.

You do diets - this is incompatible with blocking your androgens. It will make you estrogen dominant and that means holding water and packing on pounds.

Maybe your unusual and irregular nutrition patterns have more to do with your hairloss, I could be wrong of course.


Eminence and I readily disagree but we know he konws his shit on hormones, lets see how he feels about you in your situation using a DHT blocker.
