allow me to pass on this link to a (downloadable) zine about herbal supplements for MTFs looking for alternatives to medical hormonal transition. can anyone find something like this for transmen? i’ve heard it is not possible to get good results with natural alternatives to the engineered testosterone that comes in a vial from multi-billion dollar pharmaceutical companies. that said, i don’t necessarily endorse all claims made by alternative healthcare folks. taking care of our own bodies also means accepting that risk and resisting that all-american urge to sue somebody.
let me just say how much i love how zines share important self-knowledge with others without regulation or reservation. we don’t have to keep listening to other “experts” tell us what our bodies need, what is normal for our minds…
