Vitunrotta: Thank you for writing back. When you mentioned the "pharmaboys" I thought about cost. How much does it cost for a trans person to keep going on hormone pills. I have no idea. Maybe some clever person can figure out the average? I don't even know what Sex reassignment surgery might be.

I've no idea either, to be honest - at this stage it honestly seems like kids and teens (and in certain cases mentally challenged/disturbed adults) are being used as some horrible guinea pigs for a sort of "miraculous" sex-change-medication instead of getting them to therapy, for example.

I've seen way too many documentaries and read way too many in-depth stories & reports about the companies and/or families who run these massive pharmaceutical companies to have zero doubts that they just wanna get the mon€€€y. At any cost. (This is about the infamous Sackler family & opioids and it's a long read but well worth your time, whenever you have some to spare)!

Now look at the opioid crisis in the U.S. - how it was initially marketed (and targeted) and then look at the horrible aftermath. I have a strange feeling that big pharma, the ultra rich and the very gullible are a HORRIBLE combination... (Who knew?!!) /s

And the only ones to come alive and live happily ever after are not the so called "gullible" - ever.
I fear something similar will happen with this mad push of hormone blockers etc. :(

Edit: grammar
