Hello slippyslidie.

You're not alone in this regard. I don't post about NBE in other forums, but numerous other members here have observed a bias against pm and other herbs.

These are some relevant posts you may find interesting:

on TG Boards, I have never been able to figure out why they are so absurdly against herbs, in-betweens & self med.....

I just posted some more transgender specific questions elsewhere and OMG, they are ALL so self-defeatist, it's insane. I roughly outlined the metabolic 'trick' here, and their reaction was, more or less, "I didn't read what you wrote, but only HRT works" (literally just a ton of variations of the same thing).

>_>- Maybe everyone is so wrapped up in the wait for diagnosis and the 'official' explanation that they are sucked into a devotion to the state approved way. Whether it's the only way or not, I can't tolerate that attitude.

They have quite an extensive list of rules of what can and cannot be discussed. I only found out after I had transgressed.... well, who reads all the rules before posting? It's usually common sense - but not in this case!

If you can Call the NYC Phone book Extensive....

many sites are sadly like that in rules due to fears over getting sued for one load of BS or another.

One site owner once told me that they had the "No Herbal/Natural Discussion" rule because of the laws that basically say you cant claim a herb etc can do xy or z unless you have up to date Big Pharma Approved Paperwork saying so or else big pharma or some gold digging piece of trash can sue you into oblivion....

sorry for the rant but that kind of thing is something that really gets me bent out of shape...
