People who suffer from gender dysphoria suffer with a lot of emotional turmoil that can push many to the edge to even commit suicide. The anguish and disgust one feels within their body that they feel is not their own can be enough of a reason for them to seek drastic measures to relieve their pain. This is such the case with Ivana Black, a transgender woman who sought gender affirming treatment from the Black Market.
Unfortunately, this practice is not uncommon within the trans community as due to societal, familial, or economical restrictions, many would choose to conceal their activities and seek alternative, and cheaper, methods to gain treatment. Ivana Black took this opportunity as she felt that her life depended on it, even if it could end it as well.
Fortunately enough, she did not face any severe side effects and is now still standing as the proud woman she is today. Even as trans health care laws have changed compared to the times in the past, she still seeks these drugs illegally as she felt that it gave her an extra “boost” many times. Although another reason others can still seek these drugs illegally regardless of the changed laws is due to insurance and costs becoming quite troublesome. Whether or not your insurance covers the treatment or if the pharmacy denies your claim, you can be left with a hefty bill that many can’t afford.
Yet many still take the risk to take the illegal route as it is cheaper and more accessible. Unfortunately, not many are as lucky as Ivana as she herself knew other individuals who passed from taking such drugs and/or receiving silicone injections.
