Susans.org is bigoted against herbals, especially regarding people like me who use them to avoid transition. They have a special area for people who, for one reason or another, choose not to have surgery. I wrote an article about how I used PM to keep my mind clear of GID-related anxiety and depression and could cope with presenting as a male, and was accused of writing spam! I had not mentioned any trademarks or vendors, but the person who runs the board is really touchy. I was blocked and only allowed back on the condition that I did not "promote herbals".... Well, whats the f---ing point if that's all I wanted to talk about?!

It's sad really, because I'm sure that there are many people like me who have a) left it too late; b) are far, far, too ugly; c) have a wonderful family that they do not want to jeopardise. If using a herbal like PM enables them to cope with remaining and presenting as a male, that is a huge boon.

I guess the website owner feels subconsciously, having been through the SRS trauma, giving people another option via a safe, reasonably priced, easy to obtain herbal is not something to be countenanced.

Glad to have been able to have got that off my chest... It's been bugging me for months!
