can all the transphobes who just "have concerns" about how trans people (especially minors) are all being manipulated by Big Pharma please redirect their rage to antidepressants, where all that shit is actually happening and has been for decades

pressuring doctors to call it "antidepressant discontinuation syndrome" because "withdrawal" sounds scary and would imply they're physiologically addictive (which they are) is Actual Real-Life Evil.
also the evidence for anti-depressants actually treating depression is way weaker than that for HRT treating dysphoria, and yet one is handed out with zero oversight despite signifcant side effects, and the other is gatekept behind decades-long waitlists and multiple psychological evaluations
(just to be clear considering the current US political environment, i'm not saying they need to banned or that they don't work for anyone. what i *am* saying is that, in the UK at least, they are massively overprescribed and used as the first-line treatment for basically all mental health issues)
