Say someone wanted to fill their bunker with HRT in case all trans healthcare in the US was blocked at some point, what would be the best way, and best resources for figuring out how to do that? These would be emergency backup, so wouldn't need to be a perfect regimen with injectables and progesterone.

From what I've read so far, for estradiol you'd want to store precursors, because those can store indefinitely, unlike vials or even pills. But I don't really know where those come from, or how you go from precursor to something that can be ingested. I would appreciate any resources that could fill that in for me.

I haven't really looked into t-blockers or t at all yet, because that wasn't as relevant to me. But if anyone's picked up any info on that, I'd love to know how it that would be done too, from a community support perspective.

I know our UK siblings are broadly dealing with this already, so I'd appreciate any input you have.

Sorry if there's already a megathread around for this somewhere already. I missed it.

(I'm not really sure what the boundaries of what can be discussed here. But for that reason, I'll just mention that this is research for cozy post-apocalyptic videogame about a trans woman with no access to healthcare because her warlord is pretty shit. It's hyper-indie and not even on itch, and the art is all in pastels, and has the best fishing minigame you'll never play. I definitely want REAL WORLD practical resources though for my research. Realism is key to the ludonarrative experience I want to deliver.)

According to Lilian (otokonoko) MCT oil lasts ~7 years so you could probably order 7 vials from her and be good for a while.

You can get raws at Dragon Ordnance. They're cheap, but shipping is expensive. You can also get your mct oil and benzyl alcohol there for mixing. Someone here tested their shit and it's good https://hexbear.net/post/1419643

Compounding it into injectables is pretty simple with the right (very affordable) equipment. If you respond well to estrogen monotherapy, that might be all you need. T-blockers like spiro and fin are used by cis men so might be in less risk, and you can buy those from any old online pharmacy like alldaychemist.

Thank you so much! That post covers everything I was missing. I love this site!

I'm doing the same thing myself right now following that guide feinberg-sicko

I'm a little sketch on that post, she shows up and drops all this info then disappears... Idk, it's weird.

I would be concerned about the shelf life of MCT oil. I don't know about the shelf life of the ingredients used for gels, if they can live for longer then that would be better.

Lena from https://groups.io/g/MTFHRT (the site uses outdated terminology though) also talks about eating micronized powder (might cost more, idk, but I think since no other ingredients are involved this should be good for more years).

The site also has info on making gel and injections, but the guide for the latter is rather unhygienic.

Thanks for this link. In an emergency, I honestly think I prefer oral route (edit: or gel), just because I think I feel like I don't trust myself to stay sterile enough for injectables.

Don't forget the gels, they are applied to the skin, easier than measuring out an appropriate amount of powder.
