Canada’s Testosterone Shortages

There’s been lots of hub-bub about the recent testosterone shortage in Canada, with many people expressing surprise that this could happen. When I was considering testosterone therapy and weighing my options, one thing I felt sure of was that because testosterone is a common medication for men — not a “transsexual drug” — I wouldn’t be subjected to shortages. This was naive. In the 3 years and 9 months of being on testosterone, I’ve experienced not one testosterone shortage, but four. Testosterone shortages seem to be quite common here in Canada.

About

Joshua Riverdale aka Gender Outlaw, transoutlaw, transguys

Joshua Riverdale

I’m just another Gender Outlaw and this is my personal FTM transition blog. My journal is an important personal development tool: I use it to track and observe the complex, challenging and wondrous aspects of transcending gender. I’m thrilled to know that others find this public navigation helpful.

I’m 37 years old and live in rural British Columbia, Canada with my longtime girlfriend. I was diagnosed with GID by a school psychologist when I was five years old (1979), but I didn’t think of myself as transgender until October, 2007. (Honestly, I didn’t know I had options. I didn’t really know that trans men existed.) Learn more about my transition process here.

Feel free to comment on my posts (comments policy), and if you’d like to get in touch directly, please email genderoutlaws@gmail.com. Track my other online activities via my lifestream.
