A rarely discussed issue that impacts trans men (and transmasculine medically transitioning NBs) is that, in the US, testosterone is a controlled medication because of its illegal use by cis men for doping.

THIS. Everything from limits on how much you can have (can't have more than a 6-month supply in my state, which if you're on a low dose, can be problematic with the quantities T comes in), to only being able to transfer your RX once, to strict refill windows...it's a mess.
The strict refill windows are a huge issue for me. I once had went 5 weeks without my meds when I went on an extended writing trip to another state. There was no way to get either an early refill OR a have a script filled out of state.

It's honestly a miracle I've never missed a dose in 8.5 years between refill windows and T shortages (something else no one ever talks about, although that's a manufacturing problem vs. a legal one). Insane to me that it's treated the same as a horrifyingly addictive narcotic.
