"Gender affirming care" & puberty blockers are now being compared to last centuries' lobotomies & repressed memory therapies, as they leave @ risk youth sterilized, mutilated & committed to lifetimes as chemical regime patients, it's like athletes taking harmful steroids or non-diabetics being forced on insulin.

Thank you for your thoughts. I believe this comparison isn't far fetched. It also shows that our "trusted professionals" haven't learned much about rushing to a "cure" without proper long term studies for sake of safety.

My parents were killed by their doctors last century (not unique, people were criminalized in France during AIDS era over tainted blood supply), but what I see happening now is worse & even more appalling because it seems to exploit the @ risk for profit. I was ignorant until J.K. Rowling asked not to be identified as person who menstruates (believe 5th anniversary just passed, strange thing to mark, strange times).

Unique or not you deserve empathy. Of course this is a for profit situation and there is indeed a-lot of exploited people struggling while a select minority leads a certain lifestyle.
