not disputing this bty any means, but it's still somehow significantly less expensive & more readily available (in the prescribed legal form at least). my ev costs several times as much as my fiancé's t & he's never encountered supply issues
Yeah, gotcha. The existence of particular difficulties with T isn't meant to imply that hrt is made easy for trans women, or that DIY is always safe (although my understanding is it is safer, comparitively).

definitely. & it certainly makes diy more difficult, i just find the cost & availability difference for Rx hrt really wild (& frustrating bc my insurance realllly doesn't want to pay for non-generic even though generic just isn't available at all rn)

price does depend on the way the medication is administered
