I have never had a hormone injection ! I have pils which I take by dissolving them under my tongue

Before my surgery it was 2 a day but now just one at night . They are oestrogen Valerate. Is there something similar a Trans Man could take for Testosterone. This would settle the injection debate. Or would it ?

There aren’t great testosterone pills yet unfortunately! It’s gels or injections!

I, a cis man, old cis man, tried Therapy for a while to see if it would improve my quality of life. Turned out I needed to exercise and work on my depression with alternative solutions. Anyway, I went private obviously as HRT is not available for men, and after having bloods done etc started. I was given my needles etc and a video link. It wasn't hard.

Exactly. The NHS supports people to self-inject. Oh except if you’re trans…..
