      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.

      And we don’t just prescribe SSRIs willy-nilly, and as a permanent solution. We try to determine the root cause; we also try out alternative, non-medical solutions. The point isn’t to perpetuate depression, it is to eliminate it.

      Replying to @Shatterface @arthur_affect and

      That’s precisely the opposite of what you want for children with dysphoria; you don’t want the cause determining, and you don’t want the dysphoria resolved, because you claim that is ‘conversion therapy’. You want dysphoria affirmed, socially, hormonally and surgically.

      Yeah, exactly, I think anti-pharma fearmongering is total bullshit and the idea that because you shunt someone's suffering into the "psych/behavioral" department there must be some Freudian "root cause" involving hating their mother is barbaric superstition

      In real life it turns out that the brain, like every other part of the body, is made of chemicals, and the easiest way to fix things about it that make people unhappy is various kinds of chemicals Drugs are good, more drugs

      (I'm not anti-therapy but historically there has NEVER BEEN ANY talk therapy modality that came close to having the impact on the suicide rate that Prozac did when it was introduced And Prozac SUCKS as a drug)
