Is self-identified cis people getting HRT a thing? I'm genuinely curious, I assume it's all DIY, right? In any case, that was a wild ride

    Yeah a cis dude might get testosterone if his normal testosterone is low. I assume there's something similar for women. I don't think that's what this guy is talking about though.

    It's fairly common for women to start taking estrogen post menopause because their estrogen levels drop, and that can cause issues like losing bone density. I believe HRT was originally developed specifically for that reason, and it was only later that they tried using it to treat gender dysphoria.

    But in this case, they specifically call out being a femboy on HRT, which I think pretty clearly says that they're on estrogen for that female figure. Whether it's DIY or just informed consent is anyone's guess, though.

    even if the intentions are well meaning, egging someone carries the risk of misgendering a cis person. be supportive, but respect what people currently call themselves until they tell you otherwise

    You are true,
    Be prepared for the next,

    But, even you are true ? Should I, really be worried about misgendering cis-people on a shitinternet post ? As MTF, i would say, i really don't care XD,

    But again, you are true, and i'm wrong.

    Right, because some rando on the internet knows more about this person than he does himself.

    wonder how some of the greedier telehealth hrt providers (not naming names but it's all on Google) would react if someone straight up said "I'm cis but want to be more attractive to a certain demographic, gimme the femboy pills". I'd give 70/30 they'd eventually agree.

    p.s. personally I think hrt should be maximally cheap and sold over the counter.

    I know a straight cis femboy who wants to take HRT - I dont fully understand it, but I respect its his right to do what he wants with his body and identify however he pleases.

    Some people just want more customization options I guess
