A far right grifter is attempting to scam vulnerable trans people with fake hormone 'alternatives'. Please be wary of "QueerQuirk" and the sub brand "Estrolabs".

At least one grifter is targeting trans people with ineffective and potentially dangerous supplements.
I recommend reading the linked article for more information. This grifter is attempting to capitalize on hormone bans and medical gatekeeping to sell fake hormone 'alternatives' to trans people.
Long story short the pills are fake, they do not contain estrogen nor do they metabolize into estrogen. They contain unrelated substances that at best don't work and at worst can have serious negative consequences for your health.
The marketing he's attempting to use is so ham-fisted most will probably be able to tell right away that its a scam, but what he's doing should be taken extremely seriously.
Everything about this scam is profoundly disgusting, and incredibly cynical. I feel bad for any baby trans girls that fall for this grift.
It's sickening, and deeply concerning that this tactic is emerging. The far right is steadily moving towards much more aggressive tactics aimed at trans people especially in states where healthcare is banned. Sadly his initial post was viewed over a million times before the story broke, and probably at least someone fell for the scam 😕
The reddit thread I read about this said that the dosages were so high they would give people who used them severe seratonin syndrome, risking death. That even without the risk of death, the ingredients used in these boost the body's natural hormone production... so for most trans women it would raise testosterone levels.
