I found that comment on one of these subreddits: :”Y’all saying trans-women aren’t women because they can’t reproduce is literally reducing womanhood down to reproductive organs. Here’s a comment that I found on one of the women rights subreddits: The fact that someone could get banned there just because of them disagreeing about the idea of transgender women being allowed in every women space possible just shows that Reddit is a place ran by fascists. Reddit sucks ass! That places has a hivemind set. With access this convenient, subjugation of women and medicalization of children is just a PayPal transaction away.

They even share fun, child-friendly guides on adjusting your body to fit your transfeminine soul for users like this, claiming to be sixteen years old. As noted in /r/TransDIY’s subreddit rules – Rule #3 on their main page – they discourage users from mentioning their age to prevent them from getting banned, while simultaneously allowing discussion of best hormones to use during puberty. But this policy has enabled not only estrogen distribution but easy access of hormones to underage males. Their packaging is also covered in half-naked, prepubescent anime girls: Trans DIY hormones (Courtesy: /r/TransDIY)Īs it stands on Reddit, transgender identity is sacrosanct.
They distribute websites like RuPills, Aphrodites, and most egregiously Otokonoko Pharmaceuticals, with a storefront slathered in illustrations of little girls. Several of Reddit’s subreddits – most notably /r/TransDIY – give these men the ability to share links to “Do-It-Yourself” websites that offer a variety of hormones at high strength and large quantities for cheap. These men seek out various states of “feminization” – with many of the accounts reading like a Frankenstein’s experiment on their male bodies – all of them having a sincerely held belief in their gendered souls. Reddit’s 2020 policy on hate speech, preventing criticisms based on identity, has allowed a propagation of underground estrogen distribution for transgender DIY-ers.
