Disclaimer: I know self-medicating is usually very discouraged and for good reasons.

Just trying to educate myself.

Questions

  • What are the types of self-medicating MTF individuals typically use?

  • What are each one’s risks?

  • When is it defensible to use these? (My first thought is people like potentially myself, as local laws make getting access very hard. And I am FAR from organizations that help with access.)

  • If one is dead set on self-medicating, what methods, dosages, & precautions should they take to avoid adverse side effects or health concerns?

  • If you move to a country or state that has better access later on, can it hurt your ability to access certain types of care if you already self-medicated?
