      Lol that's not what I mean, most people "dependent" on meds to function are extremely aware of it, and the stigma against dependence has a lot more negative impact on their lives than the dependence

      Being dependent on medication isn’t the same as addiction, you fuckwit. Diabetes isn’t an addiction to insulin. People with HIV aren’t ‘hooked on’ a cocktail of medication. The hidden addictions I spoke of are addictions to drugs and alcohol most people deny or are unaware of.

      Yeah and the line between "addiction" and "dependency" isn't the clear bright one you think it is, especially for currently controversial drugs like opioids

      The whole reason people fearmongered about SSRIs is they "create dependency", they can leave it theoretically worse off if you start taking them and stop than if you never started That's something to be aware of when prescribing, it's NOT a reason not to do it

      I never said I was against the use of SSRIs. What the fuck are you on about? Do I have to go through every single medical condition and it’s treatment? Can you not fucking *generalise* from what I said about insulin and pain relief?

      I *am* generalizing Fearmongering about addiction and dependency is bad, the medical gatekeeping it has led to has caused a lot of harm, and I'm opposed to it

      You are not *generalising*, you fucking automaton. I’m having to repeat the same damn thing for every medication you drag into this. “What about paracetamol for headaches? Ok, what about paracetamol for tooth-ache? What if you’ve stubbed your toe?” It’s the same fucking question!

      No, I'm generalizing and you're refusing to do so, it's kind of obvious I'm generally against medical gatekeeping and you're throwing a tantrum about how medical gatekeeping is obviously good in some areas and obviously bad in others

      I mentioned SSRIs *specifically* as a well known, widely accepted counterexample to your bullshit claim that HRT for trans people is the only time anyone ever prescribes a drug that creates a future dependence on that drug

      You don’t prescribe SSRI’s *in order to create a dependence on SSRIs* - you prescribe them for depression or OCD. Almost all children with gender dysphoria will grow out of it; puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones turn dysphoria into a life-long medical condition.

      So you're really stuck on this trip that transition isn totally unnecessary as a treatment for dysphoria and the only reason people are doing it is cause they're just rolling around in profits from selling unpatented generic meds at close to cost

          This isn't new, either, pro-lifers also love to get all heated about millionaire abortion doctors in their giant mansions

          Puberty resolves almost all gender dysphorias; by blocking it, by prescribing cross-sex hormones, and by the affirmation of a gender identity that has no clear definition, you are *making* transgender children. It is an iatrogenic condition.
