Taking prescribed doses of T for the purpose of transitioning is not "substance abuse"

lol whatever. Semantics.

Again, T requires a prescription. Many trans men take T without experiencing significant health problems and are the majority are happy with the results. A few people detransition, which is why adults should think and decide if they really want this or not.

What? A prescription is not the same as comprehension. A prescription is not the same thing as necessary to live. I don’t think you understand what I’m saying. Your reasoning makes zero sense.

But if they are doing HRT they would have low testosterone. Which proves testosterone did not cause this man's violence.

That’s..not how any of that works. Do you genuinely believe this? If so, you need more correction than I am qualified to provide.

But I think it's silly they decided T was a contributing factor. There are cis women who commit violent acts, as well as cis men. Why did this case stand out?

Mate I think everything you’ve said is silly. Thinking something is silly is not meaningful or a criticism. You thinking it is silly does not invalidate their questions or make the questions these women ask foolish. It does not make women factually as violent as men. Ask them. Stop treating gc like a hive mind and expecting us to answer for others.

Is your argument that any prescription written where "not necessary to live" is malpractice?

Nope. I’m saying hormones for transition are available too easily and should not be used without far stricter guidelines and wait times. I’m saying suicidal threats are not a good reason to give someone cosmetic treatments. Suicidal people belong on 1:1 watch in a psychiatric hospital setting until they are of sound mind.

Thanks for clarifying.
