hi all, long time vegetarian, just committed myself to veganism this week. however, I'm also trans fem, and having trouble finding info on estrogen and other meds (currently seeking a scrip for adhd). any resources or tips to share? I'm in canada if that's important. thanks in advance!

Bio-identical estrogens are typically sourced from plants like soy and yams (that doesn't mean eating soy and yams can replace medication). There's one called "Premarin", the name comes from "pregnant mare urine", (mare is female horse), steer clear of that one and you should be fine.
