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

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.

Also really not very different from the medicalized view of "homosexuality" as an illness in the DSM, and the claims that it was caused by early sexualization and "recruitment"

No, it isn’t. YOU are the one who wants dysphoria treated chemically and surgically. YOU are the one who supports the medicalisation of children who might otherwise grow up as perfectly healthy gay men or lesbians.

Yeah and you're bringing back the 1960s shit about how being gay means that you've got an opposite-sexed brain and there's some objective correlation between femininity and gay men too What superstitions won't you resurrect

They also completely erase gay trans men, lesbian trans women, and all nonbinary people, not to mention the vast majority of trans people who don’t even come out (let alone transition) until LONG after puberty.
