Turing was forced to take diethylstilbestrol. Ignoring the barbaric choice and nature of punishment (this was the only alternative to prison). This was at a time where homosexuality was considered a disease which would be "cured."
That aside, the implant was supposed to be removed after his sentence, but wasn't, causing longer-term effects that initially sentenced/intended.
Ignoring that he would likely not feel "better" from being trapped in prison, there is a massive difference between being forced to undergo medical treatments as part of a cruel and unusual (in hindsight, but not in law at the time) punishment, and electing to take HRT as part of a transition pathway in the modern day.
Throwaway account, ignorant bigoted comment, and /s after a shitty clueless remark. Troll harder next time.
