hrtcafe.net was a free, community-maintained harm reduction resource
covering DIY hormone therapy — medications, vendors, homebrew guides, and dosing
information. It existed because formal medical care for trans people is routinely
inaccessible: gatekept, unaffordable, or geographically out of reach.
In late 2023 and early 2024, vendors listed on the site faced a coordinated UK complaint
campaign targeting their hosting, domains, and email providers — documented in
this archive’s wiki section.
The site continued operating until March 2026. On March 10, 2026 — the date of the
last archived snapshot — The Daily Signal (media arm of The Heritage Foundation,
architects of Project 2025) published a piece calling for FDA investigation of DIY hormone
vendors. The site shut down within days.
Removing accurate harm reduction information does not make people safer.
