A major ‘DIY’ hormone resource website appears to have closed just days after being targeted by right-wing and gender-critical media outlets.The Pink NewsMar 13Written by Amelia HansfordHRT Cafe, a grassroots database of tutorials, resources, and information on hormone replacement therapy (HRT), closed its doors earlier this week.The website, which was maintained by a small, anonymous group of developers, was considered one of the biggest resources for ‘DIY’ HRT in the UK.‘DIY’ HRT, also known as self-medicating, is the practice of obtaining and administering medication with minimal or no medical oversight. It is considered a last resort to accessing gender-affirming care. It is not illegal to possess non-controlled hormones for personal use without a prescription in the UK.
When I first started hormones my insurance wouldn't cover it back in 2004, so I ordered mine from overseas. I also had prescription and was being monitored by a doctor.
Its closure came just days after a number of right-wing news outlets, including The Daily Signal, published articles on ‘DIY’ vendors citing HRT Cafe and other resource sites. Gender-critical pundits also posted on social media to suggest this was just the first step in getting additional resource sites shut down.While several LGBTQ+ and trans non-profits advise against self-medicating, warning of potential harm due to contamination from unregulated vendors, several members of the community have said it is the last feasible way for them to access the potentially life-saving medication.
I would also guess they are doing the same with abortion medication! I also wonder if they are scanning emails address to the overseas pharmacies and when you search for them! Is "Big Brother" watching you? Are they making databases of whose been naughty and nice?
The overseas press is even worse!
GBNBy Alice TomlinsonPublished: 13/03/2026A website that helped transgender people find hormone treatments online has shut down after coming under scrutiny over the sale of medication without medical checks.HRT Cafe, a grassroots online database that compiled information on hormone replacement therapy (HRT), appears to have gone offline days after coming under scrutiny in the media.The site, maintained by a small anonymous group of developers, had become one of the most widely used online resources for people seeking so-called “DIY” hormone therapy in the UK.“DIY” HRT refers to the practice of obtaining and taking hormone medication without direct medical supervision, often through online pharmacies or overseas suppliers.
You know if it wasn't for Trump lies this wouldn't be happening! It is always the Republicans!
The Lavender Scare -- Republicans
Save Our Children -- Republicans
Book bans -- Republicans
Drag show bans -- Republicans
All the anti-trans laws -- Republicans
We lived with no problems until the Republicans came along, and not just any Republicans but MAGA Republicans!
Did you know that a lot of the early pro-trans legislation came from Republican states? Because they said by changing our documentation we could become productive members of society! Now they've done a 180 and have declared a pogrom against us!
