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!

HRT is taken to alter the balance of hormones in the blood, hopefully permanently, in a way that requires the lifelong use of medication to maintain but allows the body to function better (by the standards of its owner) than it did before

HRT is given to replace hormones - the clue is in the name. Cross-sex hormones - whichbis what you are talking about - alter the appearance of secondary sexual characteristics. These characteristics begin to revert as soon as you stop taking them. They do not change your sex.

No, it doesn’t. You aren’t prescribed SSRIs with the intention of creating a life-long dependency. You are prescribed SSRIs with the intention of curing your depression and then getting you off SSRIs as soon as possible. Nor are they the only treatment offered.

SSRI's dont cure depression, they mitigate the symptoms. Chronic patients will have to take SSRI's in perpetuity, while Acute patients should ideally wean off the drug after resolving their other life issues with assistance from the SSRI. This is such a bad analogy.
