Hey folks, hoping to have a semi-permanent thread for compiling resources to make finding really cool posts easier. Please suggest links and info in the comments below. I consider this necessary because there's a lot of things we would like pinned but obviously things get very crowded quickly. This thread will start sparse and I will edit new things in as people suggest them.


Transgender Mutual Aid

These posts are done by a transgender mutual aid group looking to help people in unusual circumstances. Please contact me if you need help with HRT info, their posts here are for donors only.

Trans Chemist Series

These posts are done by a Hexbear user that I have verified as legit, offering unique information about trans DIY hrt, including quality sources, sanitation, storage recommendations. Verified by very expensive industrial chemistry equipment.


DIY Electrolysis Series

There posts are also done by a Hexbear user that is making an open source DIY electrolysis setup.

  • https://matrix.to/#/#tracha:chapo.chat - Our public group chat, text only. Has fun emojis bridget-vibe

  • https://www.transacademy.org/ - Trans Academy is a VRChat group that provides help/community for trans people. Among other things, they do free bi-weekly voice training seminars (in VRChat but also streamed on Discord and Twitch) and make-up tutorials (on Discord), and the classes include content for transmasc, enby, transfem peeps. VRChat is free and doesn't require VR (using the desktop or android app), but you can also participate in most of the class stuff through the Discord.

After seeing https://hexbear.net/post/3777184, I think it would be a good idea to edit the descriptions of links in here that are only relevant to transfems (e.g. https://hrtcafe.net/) so that transmascs don't waste their time looking at them.

[–] kristina@hexbear.net 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Do you have suggestions for transmascs on that

[–] Shinhoshi@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I wish I did, but it's obviously more difficult for them since testosterone is more tightly regulated

It seems some of the sites there have it though they really need a t category

Hello Comrades,I just posted an update about our situation after the Gorom attack. We’re still in the hospital and only have 3 days to pay or face police threats.

Mutual aid link is in my profile. Boosts, shares, and care deeply appreciated 🙏🏿

This resource thread is GOLD for anyone navigating HRT safely—especially for those of us doing it without easy access to doctors. As a trans refugee, finding support like this means the world. If you want to hear my story and how I’m surviving and thriving against the odds, check out my profile.

The monero guide is permanently deleted. Which I think is a real shame. There is space for an accessible explanation on how to get crypto for hrt, since it's so annying and difficult to do, but sadly essential.

Here’s an awesome list of trans resources specific to Ireland that I came across: https://bit.ly/irishtransresources

seems to have been cleaned up a lot

I still have a grudge against the Gender Dysphoria Bible until they clean up number 15. I really want to see it fixed, but it's still problematic if this stays.

CW: transmedicalism

So, it is literally impossible for a person to identify as trans and not experience gender dysphoria. By the WPATH requirements anyone can identify as trans. Ergo, the statement “you do not have to have dysphoria to be transgender” is a logical paradox.

When you put "anyone can be trans" right after that, you don't help the eggs who don't think they experience dysphoria and read the medical guidelines — they'll walk away thinking that sure anyone could be a trans person, but not them because they don't have dysphoria. (Even if you're a transmed, this should concern you because eggs don't necessarily know that what they are experiencing is gender dysphoria, even with the guidelines.)

It's certainly not a logical paradox because the condition of not having dysphoria does not imply not transgender.
