darq, 5 months ago okay, I acknowledge that maybe it’s not prohibitively expensive for the end user. No. Acknowledge that you were parroting a ridiculous conspiracy theory. There is not enough money in this to justify what you are suggesting. You don’t think the development of new products to sell you also makes money for other companies in the chain? What new products?! It's testosterone and estrogens, that's it. They have to develop the product, ways to harvest or synthesize the chemicals in it, deliver it, test it, and refine and iterate upon it. Every drug and procedure trans people take was developed for cisgender people first. There are basically zero new, trans-specific products. I cannot say this strongly enough: what you are saying is a ridiculous conspiracy theory that has zero basis in reality.
