MODERATORS
you can't really "overdose" on Estrogen (you can overdose on AA's tho!!), there is technically a limit of "too high" E but its so incredibly high you'll never get anywhere close on normal dosing. anyway DIY is awesome! fuck the system. we don't understand why creatures are so adamant on having cishet doctors control their lives... especially when they have proven time and time again they are transphobic bigots who have absolutely no idea what they are doing. you don't need a doctor to tell you what dosage you need to take.. especially since they'll probably tell you the wrong dosage.
anyway, rant aside. DIY is great, it saves the lives of soooo many trans creatures (including us) and supporting the creatures who make it possible is also great!
To add to this: The usual joke on /r/transDIY whenever someone manages to miscalculate and do a 10× overdose is “congrats, you are pregnant now”, because E-levels during pregnancy are crazy high. And you don’t exactly see pregnant women dying left and right either, so don’t worry too much.
