Rules on Comments
If a post is tagged with a specific gender identity, keep the conversation centered on that identity.
You must follow the Egg Prime Directive. You may not push or coerce people into identifying or not identifying a certain way. You must respect them as the gender they claim to identify as. In addition it is extremely in poor taste to make assumptions about other people's identities based on external factors, we understand it cannot be helped but it is best not to as it can affect the way you treat others in noticeable ways.
Recommendations:
We strongly encourage you to include your pronouns in your account bio so that others know how to refer to you without misgendering you. If you're questioning or unsure of your pronouns, that's totally coolβjust say so.

Description: A meme in two pictures and two text boxes.
The upper image shows an anime-style character, joyous and smiling, surrounded by twinkling stars. The text next to them says: "You realize you're trans."
The lower image shows the same character, staring in despair, surrounded by darkness. The text next to them says: "You realize you're trans."
So hypothetically could a gal jump on a plane to Turkey, buy a bunch of HRT over the counter, and fly home again? π€π I'm sorry about the transphobia, at least we have that in common π
Note that Turkey is not in the EU though. AFAIK at least E is also available over the counter in Spain and Portugal and if you live in the EU you may have fewer issues with customs there.
I'm in the UK, we did a Brexit so we aren't in the EU either π€·ββοΈ I feel like things might be better if we still were but that's neither here nor there
yeah. You can buy it like candy (almost) and there is no regulation for travelling with it
Good to know I guess, making regular trips to Turkey might genuinely be the easiest way for me to get any HRT π
or you can order it online. Many providers supply it from turkey I think. That's how I found out that I could buy hrt over the counter in my own country
The issue is paying for it though, it's not something where I can just throw my card details in and get girldrugs from what I can tell π€ I appreciate you telling me about it though β€οΈ
Oki. It is also cheaper if you get from here. 17 something dollars for 2 boxes of estrofem is what I paid. Which truat me isn't cheap for us when our economy sucks but is pretty cheap for visitors from other countries ig.
But then I also need to factor in the cost of flying to Turkey multiple times a year π It's a real "why everything gotta cost money?" situation
yeah fr
