DIY transgender hormone therapy

DIY transgender hormone therapy (DIY HRT) is a phenomenon where transgender people obtain and self-administer transgender hormone therapy as part of their gender transition without the guidance of a licensed medical provider. 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. The prevalence of DIY hormone therapy in the trans community varies between studies, from 11% to 79%.
