Yeah agreed and I mean the risks of current hrt are really minor, I know the most about estrogen so I’ll tall about that, but even blood clots on doses that are too high is debated since a lot of the studies on that were with non-bioidentical types of estradiol iirc. The cancer risk they brought up also literally just changes the chances of you developing certain types of cancer to basically what the risks for a cis person who naturally has those hormones is. Same with any kind of clotting disorders, it just makes it closer to the risks of a cis women. No cis women with clotting disorders or a history of cancer are being prescribed estrogen blockers preemptively to reduce their risks of those.
But also like, should the government restrict purchases of every single thing that could harm someone? I truly believe somerthing like a knife, or certain power tools are honestly more likely to cause injury than hrt, same with alcohol as well obviously. IDK why medicine specifically requires protecting people from more than any of those.
In 80% of cases, it’s because of authoritarianism. In 20%, it’s because expecting someone to have a good sense of space to not poke an eye out with a drill, is much more reasonable than expecting the Charlatans to pick safe snake oils to sell.
No one ever buys random drugs they know nothing about, but things you know nothing about, are perfect Charlatan fields. ::: spoiler Sad example:
Here in Greece, people literally tell each other medications to try, no doctor appointment required, as panaceas. It’s not even for money, it’s the same impulse that makes people share “super foods”, and “mindfulness exercises”. It’s alienated, suffering people, with no real solution to their problems, making tiny religions around symbols. Just in this case, these symbols do liver damage.

So let’s make it harder to trick people into injecting horse de-wormer or whatever. You have to at least be in the government to do that.
