Medical historians in the future will look back at "gender affirming care" the same way that we look back at bloodletting. https://lucyleader.substack.com/p/looking-back-from-the-future

Very similar except the Pharmaceutical company lied to the Drs to get them to prescribe Oxycontin. In gender medicine the Drs in gender clinics are prescribing knowing the risks and likely outcomes, they deem them acceptable. However the 27 year old detransitioner, that was put on testosterone at 16, is living with the consequences, may feel very differently. The question is, how many in Primary care that pick up prescribing in the long term for this group, are thinking about the long term risk to patients and potential for litigation against them? Two things we can be sure of, the pharmaceutical company will not be paying out this time, because the Drs are prescribing off licence, but the NHS will be!
