is the fact that thousands/millions of trans people are using it without issue not enough reassurance? i don't mean to call you racist, sorry i realise now that my wording in previous reply would make it seem like that's what i'm saying but that was an attempt at understanding

i know that injecting something in your body is something very intimate, and the thing you're injecting better be clean. so i understand the anxiety about injecting something that didn't come from a pharmacy through a prescription vetted by a doctor, as long as you are able to get it through there i'm happy for you and i'm glad you can use medicine you feel is safe

but that doesn't necessarily mean that the hrt from india is unsafe by any means, you're simply unfamiliar with it because you don't NEED to be familiar with it
personally the reason i would rather not use diy hrt is a very pragmatic one: i don't wanna pay for it. that's it. i'd feel safe using it but i'm dirt-poor so fuck thattttt
though i'm also a druggy so i've put way worse shit in my body and will do so again, so basically my experience doing shady drugs taught me that i really don't need to worry THAT much about this shit cuz as long as you're mindful of the source (getting it somewhere a lot of other people are getting it from and keeping an eye on if they're alarmed by a "new batch" or smth will keep you safe) and are a little bit observant, you're gonna be just fine
it's not like ONLY pharmacies are able to create medicine, if the method is out there then anyone can have a go at making some themselves, chemistry is like maths, just gotta apply the formula in the exact same way and you get the exact same shit out of it
and like i said before, estrogen is a whole lot easier to produce than the weird fucking garage-lab-made drugs i've done and been fine on for years
