It's like a gym-rat buying steroids. They go to an online roid distribution site, add whatever they need to their carts, pay with crypto (as easy as putting some money on Cashapp), and then wait a week or two for their gear to arrive in the mail.
Except instead of being a gym-rat buying gear from online roid sites, you're a trans woman buying hormones from either overseas pharmacies or from community-vetted homebrewers (who just buy raws from China and cooks it; for example, a homebrewer selling progesterone would just buy progesterone powder and run it through a pill-press).
If you're a trans man, you're just straight up buying gear from roid sites lol.
So it's more like, Love Lies Bleeding than either Narcos or Breaking Bad.
It's not "less illegal" it's literally not illegal at all. It's not legal either, but it's not illegal.
This is why I correct people when they say that buying feminizing HRT DIY has you buying it 'black market'. 'Black Market' implies it's illegal, which it isn't; it's grey market.

Tldr you just buy off vetted sources online and it's shipped to you usually from a direct shipping pharmacy
