He’s not wrong about medical companies influencing patient care. He’s just wrong about who and why.

Exactly. Why would they give patients long out of patent meds that aren't even habit forming for this? Nah, if you want to make money with medicine you gotta go the Sackler route. Every trans person I know's HRT brand of choice is "generic please"

Sorry, I meant should as in if he actually gave a shit about what he pretends to give a shit about as a preface to target trans people.

Okay but we all know these fuckers believe in nothing.

If you don't get that by now, you're determined to not.

So gotchas about it seem kinda... I dunno, a few steps behind?

Yeah, you've completely lost me. What do you mean by gotchas?
