I’m really not being all that serious lol. and yeah willow is right I was more saying that about the birth control thing.
longer response
WHO and the CDC have stated that blood tests prior to birth control don’t actually make them safer and from what I can tell, postmenopausal women who start HRT often don’t need to take a blood test either. The approval of an over-the-counter birth control recently also reflects that there is very little risk in giving them to people without a doctor being involved initially, and the person taking it can typically tell if something is wrong and stop taking them before it becomes a problem. In general, I am always highly skeptical of any proposed restrictions to access to birth control and for similar reasons that I am to restrictions regarding HRT (they can often be overblown and merely a pretext to restrict access for ideological reasons rather than genuine concern for patient well-being). Saying something like “HRT should be over-the-counter” is just a radical expression of my belief that the risks and dangers of bioidentical hormones is overblown whether it be birth control or hormones for trans people. Testosterone is again a more complicated topic because it’s more likely to be abused, but I also think it sucks for our trans masc siblings that the hormone they need is criminalized.
And by “HRT” I was referring to primarily bioidentical hormones which has very low risks. Knowing levels of serum estradiol is certainly useful, but some of us (like Marissa) don’t have easy access and go the DIY route and we’re trending in the wrong direction access wise, so I’m also careful not to boogeyman it either. Antiandrogens like spironolactone and bicalutimide are renaltoxic and hepatoxic respectively (I think, but I always forget which is which), and if you’re taking those you should absolutely take blood tests early on to make sure they aren’t adversely affecting you. However, most DIY girlies do mono-E therapy, so again it’s less crucial. Blood tests would certainly reduce risks, and you should get them done and have your care directed by a qualified medical professional, but not all of us have that luxury either due to local government policy, home/social environment, or just money.
To wrap this up, me saying “HRT should be OTC” is mostly just a memey way to say “I think everyone who wants it should be able to get it” which I assume we both agree with. I’m certainly not a medical professional, so I could be wrong, but also there’s like zero risk in me saying that if I am wrong because HRT is not going to be available over-the-counter any time soon for the overwhelming majority of us.
