Sarcasm? Behavioral disorder therapy is not equal to hormone therapy.

Internet comment forums are sure a weird social dynamic. It feels like your talking with a group of friends, but also, we're all strangers meeting for the first time.

So cracking a sarcastic joke, a thing that really only works if you know your audience and your audience knows you, feels safe, but obviously doesn't work very well.

i disagree. we have treatments that have been shown to be helpful for a given disease. its not perfect but giving out random cocktails is not the norm. estrogen is not a treatment for that disease, which is why this is a headline and that action (as far as I can tell) is heinous.

This is extremely rare, worth media attention, and rightfully outcry and pursuing justice through legal means.
