Essential information of previous post:

• A product called “i can’t believe it’s not estrogen” by a company called “estrolabs” is being advertized on Twitter.
• It is not estrogen. It is ashwagandha.
• The active ingredient increases your lutenizing hormone, which will cause your body to produce more of whichever sex hormone it produces endogenously.
• If you have testes, this will increase your testosterone levels.

If you are transfem, this shit will increase your testosterone levels.

They are lying to you to take your money. Don’t fucking touch it. Tell your friends and family.

If you’re desperate, DIY is an option. The subreddit r/TransDIY is an excellent resource, as is the DIY Wiki.

If what you really want is a herbal supplement, there are certain herbs that will have a minor antiandrogenic effect. The DIY resources here will have more information on it.

Edit: the dose of ashwagandha is so high that it will give you serotonin syndrome within four to eight weeks. This shit is evil.

“Fun” update on this: some people were speculating that this was some sort of right-wing anti-trans attack and not just a scam. I thought this was a bit overblown; incompetence before malice and so on. I was wrong. The page selling the products has been changed to one selling t-shirts about gas station dick pills.

Here’s the page as of 16:15 UCT.

Here’s the page as of 20:41 UCT. I don’t recommend clicking it, but I know the masochists out there will anyways.

Some people were even speculating that this was being used to collect the information of trans people in order to doxx them; given the clearly malicious nature of these bastards, I don’t think this is an unfounded fear.

Anyways, stay safe out there, and if you’re doing DIY make sure to access it from reliable sources. We have networks; rely on them, not randos on Twitter.

This is an anti-trans attack; more information in previous reblog.
