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!

I would say that there almost an ethical carve out for medications. Sometimes there literally is no vegan alternative. It’s also hard to know what med will be vegan because it can depend on the manufacturer. At least in the USA, pharmacies typically have contracts with specific manufacturers (or suppliers that use certain manufacturers).
