DIY transgender hormone therapy
DIY transgender hormone therapy (DIY HRT) is the self-medication by transgender people of gender-affirming hormone therapy, as part of their medical transition. This may be caused by various problems accessing healthcare which transgender people face. DIY HRT can refer to either prescription HRT obtained without a prescription or homebrew HRT, which carries increased risks due to the unregulated manufacturing process. The prevalence of DIY hormone therapy in the trans community varies between studies, with low rates such as 11% in Ontario, Canada and high rates such as 79% in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Trans men are estimated to use DIY HRT at lower rates than trans women, possibly because masculinizing hormone therapy largely uses testosterone, a controlled substance in many territories.
