At-Home Compounding of Hormones for Gender Affirming Treatment (Bookfair Session)
This event is taking place as part of the Another Carolina Anarchist Bookfair, three days of workshops and tabling with queer music performances at night.
Learn how to safely compound injectable estrogen in a home environment! As more and more states prevent people from being able to access hormones from regulated healthcare services, DIY hormonal replacement therapy has become a lifeline for trans people. While compounding your own hormones sounds daunting, it can safely and effective be done in a home setting, allowing you complete control and knowledge over the process. This workshop will teach proper sterile technique, basic lab techniques, such as measuring, pipette skills, and basic safety, and get you hands on training to bring back to your community.
