I thought there was a sub-forum for the discussion of herbal supplements, over the counter treatments, and non-medical transitioning, am I mistaken?

As far as I know there hasn't been a child board like that here.

Some have started to push the boundaries and it becomes a problem when the name and company of these so called "supplements" is posted. That does violate TOS by giving information as to where to go and what to order. Some in the very recent past have posted their "regimen" which really violates TOS. :)

I remember that endorsements for products aren't allowed, and obviously dosages wouldn't be. Is there any reason we can't discuss it? And if the subject is under discussion, could we have a measure of respect shown to the participants? Because this rule should protect everyone, even if they're not being prescribed estrogen:
5. The posting of messages on the chat or forums which are of a threatening tone; intended solely to communicate sarcasm, contempt, or derision; are intended to belittle or ridicule a person or group; to disgust the viewer; contain obscene or pornographic materials; which are intended to titillate; or which depicts illegal acts; will not be permitted.
And people ought to remember this:
7. Leave moderation to the moderators! Susan and her staff are the only people who are authorized to deny anyone access to this web site including telling someone to leave, or to stop discussing a topic. If someone wishes to discuss a subject that you are not interested in, suggest a new subject; go to another of the many areas on this site; or ignore that person, topic, or discussion. If you feel a person's post violates the rules of this site use the report this post function.
We're all on different paths here. Having your legs chopped out from under you because you aren't, can't, or won't do a full medical transition shouldn't be happening here.
Hugs, Devlyn

No one is being put down it is just Susan would rather see proper medication with medical monitoring. Like I said some of the topics on herbals have eventually had to be shut down because it goes from discussion to planning to suppliers and dosages. This is for the health of our members and that they get maximum results safely and effectively. :)

Oh, people certainly were being put down in the thread earlier today. If the Staff determines that a certain topic needs to go, that's fine. But for the love of God, people, don't knock someone for doing things their own way. Trans people mocking other trans people makes me literally vomit.

I sent you a PM which may explain some of that. :)
