[aleah]

Susans.org is bigoted against herbals, especially regarding people like me who use them to avoid transition. They have a special area for people who, for one reason or another, choose not to have surgery. I wrote an article about how I used PM to keep my mind clear of GID-related anxiety and depression and could cope with presenting as a male, and was accused of writing spam! I had not mentioned any trademarks or vendors, but the person who runs the board is really touchy. I was blocked and only allowed back on the condition that I did not "promote herbals".... Well, whats the f---ing point if that's all I wanted to talk about?!

It's sad really, because I'm sure that there are many people like me who have a) left it too late; b) are far, far, too ugly; c) have a wonderful family that they do not want to jeopardise. If using a herbal like PM enables them to cope with remaining and presenting as a male, that is a huge boon.

I guess the website owner feels subconsciously, having been through the SRS trauma, giving people another option via a safe, reasonably priced, easy to obtain herbal is not something to be countenanced.

Glad to have been able to have got that off my chest... It's been bugging me for months!

There are rules against discussing how to get anything for self-medicating, that could of been the reason. Many there think herbs aren't going to do anything but most don't know about PM.

Anyway, no reason to go there to discuss herbal regiments, that's what we are here for

Theres heaps of "my way is the right way" people everywhere, and most of the subsections rarely get used (like non-op and pre-op, only post-op for obviously post-op related medical questions), the more general ones include many different kinds of trans people and I've yet to see anything uncivilized. But then maybe the moderation has gotten better.

There is a section where "in-betweeners" talk too, theres quite a few androgynes on there. And a few non-op MTFs too! I'm MTF all the way so I can't really compare, sorry.
