|
||
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li><p>Moderators may take action or inaction at their discretion outside of these rules if needed, although we do generally try to stick to them. </p></li>
|
||
<li><p>Be kind to yourself and other users<br/>
|
||
Hate speech is prohibited. No racism, homophobia, transphobia, and so on for all intrinsic characteristics. Do not personally attack other users.
|
||
This includes ironic self deprecation, transmedicalism advocacy, calling people's "transness" into question, and similar lines of comments.
|
||
If you think another user has said something incorrect, reply politely or walk away.</p></li>
|
||
<li><p>Stay on topic<br/>
|
||
We're a subreddit intended to help people with HRT and adjacent medical issues. Social posting and non-medical transition questions should go to more generic trans subreddits such as <a href="https://old.reddit.com/r/MtF">/r/MtF</a>, <a href="https://old.reddit.com/r/FtM">/r/FtM</a>, <a href="https://old.reddit.com/r/AskTransgender">/r/AskTransgender</a> and so on. For non-HRT related medical issues you should be talking to a doctor.</p></li>
|
||
<li><p>Be clear, be accurate</p>
|
||
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>When asking questions, be clear about what the problem you're facing is and provide clarifying information when requested. Post titles should be informative but brief. Ask for help with the root problem rather then what you think the solution might be wherever reasonable (<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XY_problem">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XY_problem</a>). Confirm answers with multiple people wherever possible, because sometimes people will say dumb stuff and it doesn't get caught in the moment.</li>
|
||
<li>When answering questions, stick to established science wherever possible and have sources for your statements. If you can stick to peer reviewed published work that doesn't have major critiques then perfect, if this doesn't exist then use community resources which have stood up to scrutiny. Anecdotes are generally not sufficient.</li>
|
||
</ul></li>
|
||
<li><p>Keep discussions in public<br/>
|
||
Do not DM other users. Do not ask other users to DM you. Report and block people who DM you, especially if they are trying to sell you anything.
|
||
Keeping discussions in public is the primary tool for avoiding misinformation and scams.</p></li>
|
||
<li><p>Prohibited/restricted topics<br/>
|
||
Some topics are prohibited, either due to reddit site wide ToS issues, because they are effectively unsolvable, or they have a tendency to generate high quantities of rule breaking posts.<br/>
|
||

|
||
|
||
### Major Guidelines
|
||
|
||
#### WPATH Standards of Care
|
||
|
||
The World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH) Standards of Care (SOC) (2022, currently version 8 and known as SOC8) are considered by many to be the go-to international guidelines and best practices for trans healthcare.
|
||
|
||
There is a free download in many languages here:

|
||
|
||
#### Endocrine Society Clinical Practice Guideline
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
#### UCSF Guidelines
|
||
|
||
The University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) trans health guidelines (2016) are quality and thorough:

||
|
||
[Crash course anatomy and physiology](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uBGl2BujkPQ&list=PL8dPuuaLjXtOAKed_MxxWBNaPno5h3Zs8) is a YouTube video series covering a college level introduction to human biology.
|
||
|
||
It's a great way to gain a basic general understanding of the human body, which is a great thing to have for self medicating.
|
||
|
||
The episodes on the endocrine system and reproductive system are especially relevant.
|
||
|
||
## Wikipedia Pages
|
||
|
||
Here are Wikipedia pages about relevant topics in trans HRT.
|
||
|
||
If you don't understand something, click through on the links or google it separately. Don't be afraid to look at the sources that are cited either. Use [Sci-Hub](https://sci-hub.se) to view paywalled papers (check the [Wikipedia page](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sci-Hub) if that link doesn't work). Use [LibGen](http://libgen.is/) to download paywalled books (also check the [Wikipedia page](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Library_Genesis) if that link doesn't work).

## Searching Reddit
|
||
|
||
Reddit search is pretty terrible, so it's better to use google. You can search only specific sites using [Google's advanced search](https://www.google.com/advanced_search). For example, put `reddit.com/r/TransDIY` in the "site or domain" field to only search this subreddit.
|
||
|
||
Another more advanced way to search Reddit is using https://camas.unddit.com/
|
||
|
||
Be very skeptical about things you see posted on reddit. It's very useful as a starting point to find what exactly to research in the first place, but be sure to verify everything, *especially* if it seems obvious or common knowledge.

For testosterone and other anabolic steroids. Calculates and plots dose eliminated (not drug levels) based on literature-reported half-lives. It's extremely rough, so take with a large grain of salt.
