one of these days I am gonna start brewing my own oestrogen

@lambdagrrl

1. I knew somebody who did this and damaged her liver because she was getting the dosages wrong.
2. There is a cis-lead science/art project working to do this with/for trans women. They're based in the US at a university. I can dig up their names if you're interested. It was started by a cis het man who wanted to brew birth control for his girlfriend, but then he was joined by a cis woman who thought it might be useful to teach trans women who to splice genes for oestrogen production. It's meant to be political, but I found it such an alarmingly american way to respond to the healthcare crisis (read: 'hacking!' rather than collective action) that I was kind of alarmed by the whole thing.

1. Yeah... I think I would want to get a trained chemist to test a sample for potency.
2. Sounds interesting. I think the politics can go either way? I mean, democratising the skill set could be the first step to a serious attempt to displace the medical-industrial complex with a more collectivist means of providing treatment. In other words: "Seize the means of hormone production!"

further thoughts on 2: I think the more worrying thing is the "cis-led" bit than the "hacking" bit, if you see where I'm coming from?
