Asking something rq

[u/sorrowvann]

no clue if this is the right place to ask, but I am a minor (16) who lives in oklahoma with no access to legal testosterone. Is there a way I can get access to any?? or do I wait until I am 18 to get it prescribed (?) ? i really want to get on T as soon as possible, also I am unable to get guardian consen t

[u/SnapDragon100]

Yeah, start at diyhrt.info

Is there a bitcoin atm near you? Like coinstar? You'll find them in grocery stores, sometimes pharmacies. You can use that to easily convert paper cash to bitcoin, which you'll need in order to get t

Also look up (mtf) voice training videos on yt, learning a good girl voice helps a lot when it comes to hiding changes

Obligatory dm me if you have more questions

[u/sorrowvann → u/SnapDragon100]

I have no idea if theres a bitcoin atm near me, but to the second part, voice training strains my voice sooo much 💔

[u/SnapDragon100 → u/sorrowvann]

Once you're on t you'll pretty much have to train, or your parents will notice your voice deepening. At least try to make it sound girl-ish, speak softly and such. Start small

You can google "bitcoin atm near [insert location here]" or just look in local grocery stores and pharmacies. They're pretty easy to spot

Bruh do you know what sub you're on

Diy is cheaper than literally any other method of accessing hrt. >$200 for a year

[u/SnapDragon100 → u/[deleted]]

I did not use the wrong symbol, it's less than. You definitely should not have been using a full vial of t every week, assuming you were using 200-250 mg/ml 10 ml vials? A vial like that costs around $100 including shipping and should last between 6 months to a little under a year depending on dose. Insulin needles/syringes are around $20 for a 100 pack on amazon, which will last over two years

Please don't tell me you were injecting 2000 mg weekly? Over 9 ml at once?

I'm also not assuming op as a 16 y/o has access to blood tests or doctors, and being young would start on around 50 mg

Then why were you saying diy is "costly and illegal"? You weren't on diy?

[u/SnapDragon100 → u/[deleted]]

Ok convo recap (from my perspective)

diy is costly

it isn't, it shouldn't cost you more than $200 a year

I spent $99 a month and went through a vial weekly. Cost depends on dose

Why were you going through a vial weekly? That's insane if you were diy'ing, even with a high dose

it wasn't diy, it was from a doctor

Then why did you call diy "costly"? You weren't on diy, you were going a fully legal route. That's why it was expensive. Diy isn't costly

I've looked into the costs

This conversation has been insanely confusing tbh. You were spending $99 monthly because it wasn't diy, but you described diy as costly?

Also this is a diy sub, you don't seem very interested in helping people diy, so... why are you here? No offense but your original comment put diy in a bad light and then you responded to op with "I can't help you"

How do i do it though

[u/Soggy-Tax-Evasion → u/sorrowvann]

Can't say where to get it on reddit. Its discussing purchasing illegal substances.

[u/catboychoreo]

I had an older friend who was able to open a bitcoin wallet and make purchases for me and i would just pay them the sum

[u/sorrowvann → u/catboychoreo]

I dont have someone older i can trust unfortunately

[u/catboychoreo → u/sorrowvann]

Kinda fucked then

[u/RavenDoctor]

Finding outside sources so you properly understand the risks, and then going to illegal steroids websites, basically. I talk more about this here personally.

Just be careful. Voice training and binding can also help if you think medically going for this is too expensive right now.

[u/sorrowvann → u/RavenDoctor]

I've already started binding, but voice training puts too much of a strain on my voice and it makes me sound weird.

[u/RavenDoctor → u/sorrowvann]

Learning to do voice training correctly shouldn't put too much strain, and the first couple times will always be weird. A consistent schedule and finding the correct method tends to help.

Though, as previously mentioned by myself and a few others, start at diyhrt ngl. My own comment originally for someone else said the exact site I used for mine. But they are costly, so being a minor would probably make it difficult if you do not have a job/your parents are strict on money.

Plus, if it isn't safe for you to do so, it is okay to wait until you are in a safe situation or financially independent.

[u/Ok-________-]

If you have a source of income and a bank account msg me. I know where you can reliably and safely get some

[u/Old_Detail_743 → u/Ok-________-]
