COMMUNITY PAGE FOR DIY ESTROGEN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can we look to bio-technoscientific capabilities for eradicating gender binaries in human society? What does this say to the current reproductive havoc on aquatic species as a result of endocrine disrupting compounds in industrialized coastal zones? Can we harness the potential to emancipate not only female, trans, and queer bodies from pharmaco-capitalism and institutionalized hormones but also the bodies of non-human species, extending feminist health care across species of our shared environment?

The goal of Open Source Estrogen is to explore the various ways that estrogen performs molecular colonization of human society, our bodies, and ecosystems.

Estrogen is the most ancient of sex hormones. Therefore the mutagenic effects of environmental estrogens disrupt species across all animal taxa, including humans. In response to the ongoing molecular colonization of xeno-estrogens, the project aims to demonstrate how our collective mutagenesis necessitates civil action through DIY/DIWO practice. Three possible approaches are: 1) SYNTHESIS - Are we able to circumvent governments and institutions to gain hormone access? What are the ethics behind self-administering self-synthesized hormones? 2) DETECTION - What are the ramifications of estrogen de-regulation? How can biosensors play a role in mobilizing citizen surveying of local water sources? 3) EXTRACTION - How can citizens remove the hormonal toxicity in the environment that is currently mutagenizing human and non-human bodies? Can the xenoestrogens be recycled back into our bodies?

We are looking for collaborators across ALL disciplines: biochemical knowledge for extraction, biotoxicology, cross-species endocrinology, ecological interactions, analysis of biological samples from local water sources, building of low-cost biosensors for detecting and mapping estrogenic waters -- these are a couple of examples.

WHAT ARE THE RAMIFICATIONS OF ESTROGEN DE-REGULATION? CAN WE EXTEND FEMINIST HEALTH CARE TO BODIES OF NON-HUMAN SPECIES, CREATING A SORT OF GYNECOLOGICAL CLINIC FOR WATER BODIES?
