Who gives a shit, the question is how well the patient functions and how happy they are and how able they are to fulfill their responsibilities Everything else is just pointless judgment The "addiction" stigma that keeps people off lifesaving meds and costs lives

A stigma TERFs happily add to when they say "Do you want these kids to be dependent on taking pills for the rest of their life?!" Oh no, taking pills for the rest of your life, holy shit

There’s no other condition that we actually create in order to medicate. We don’t induce diabetes in order to create a market for insulin.
